Interesting video. It’s 1:37AM here and I’m researching sports analytics and this video popped up. I am a self taught developer that managed to change careers (diesel mechanic to web dev) but hope to pivot into data analysis this year (not necessarily sports just yet). I am particularly interested in sports analytics though and plan to move in this direction by doing projects and learning over time. Subbed.

I am about to graduate Computer Engineering, and I am planning on taking a Master's Degree in Data Science. As a student with currently not too much obligations, I have started a little journey as a preparation for Data Science master :)
Currently I am planning on scraping the data from Transfermarkt for my favorite football club, and then I intend to use that data to create some models that will predict the final position of my club in the upcoming season.
My question is... do you think something like that is doable? :'))) I mean, either way I will try it, but I would like to hear a more professional opinion.
Amazing channel btw, you have just got yourself a fan :D Keep up with the good work!

Awesome Video as someone who is interested in building a college basketball metric, how would you recommend starting?

I have seen your scraping tutorials in Python, but in university (I’m studying statistics degree) I code mostly with R, so I’m focusing more on this language. I used to export fbref data to a csv and then I work with that. Now they eliminated that option and I don’t know where I can find free database or scrape it in R. Any help? Thank you!

What Python Course would you recommend for beginners? I work with data in my daily job and know SQL but would like to add python to my tool box and use it in a sports performance analytics pipeline.

Is it really gonna take more than 1 year? Even if i spend 4 hours a day learning witout missing any day?

do you guys know a good course in sports analytics for people that have a math background? i love the Logic of Sports Betting book.

Hi McKay. I work at a youth football club out in America and I see my future within the industry as being some sort of video/scouting analysis and as such am very interested in getting into the data side of things. My colleague at the football club sent me your twitter and channel here and mentioned that you are working on a "0 to 100" type of course for aspiring professionals? Is that true?

Either way I massively enjoyed the video. I'm at the point where I'm having to re-teach myself maths before I touch coding, so a long way to go yet. Excited to see what other content you put out.

Cheers.

great video! I am about to graduate in Mathematics and I am also interested in sports analytics, is a math bachelor's degree a good baseline for someone that wants to get into sports analytics?

[mobhamjee]

I want to ask you some questions but I cannot dm you on twitter

[ezeolise]

Thanks for the video❤,
What is the most useful language in this industry R or Python?

[netritvapatel]

Please guide me what are the resources, courses i should look out for and become a successful analyst. Also I'm from india and i was researching about this Football Analyst career and found out that this is a very underpaid job in india. Is it same in outaide of india as well?

Edit : i also want to know the difference between Sports Data Analytics and Sports data science. Are they same? Which one should i choose?❤

Hello, I applied for sports science data analytics internship for soccer and I have a hiring event with them in a couple weeks, what single project can I build that will impress them the most, it looks like they focus on using catapult technology for player tracking for player performance so I was thinking something to do with that
