TransferRoom data reveals the average tenure of a head coach in men’s football is just eight months. Sporting directors last on average under two years.🧮

One of the meta-principles I've taken from this: Experts across domains often understand each other better than an expert and novice in the same one. For me: going deep into football analysis taught me about learning. Learning about learning taught me about product management. Learning compounds because the principles are the same.

Football data can be beautiful, accessible, and useful. The World Cup is nigh; FBref lost its edge; the nerds & newcomers need their food. Here's my build and offer: Percentile rankings. Shot maps. Scouting data. Five leagues. Free. More to come. stats.ballerzbantz.com

I’ll try to make this as crystal clear as possible, because much of the strength and conditioning field still views resistance training through a very narrow lens—a weight room filled with barbells and dumbbells. I’ve read the research. I’ve seen the papers. Resistance training for pre-adolescent children consistently shows positive outcomes across the board. That part isn’t controversial anymore. Where the confusion lies is what actually counts as resistance training for kids. In our industry, “resistance training” has become almost synonymous with external load. And to be clear—external loading through dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, bands, and medicine balls is absolutely safe and beneficial when properly coached. But resistance training does not begin and end there. Sprinting, jumping, grappling, tackling and blocking, climbing, crawling, carrying, throwing, parkour, gymnastics, and Ninja-style activities are all legitimate, highly effective forms of resistance training. These activities challenge force production, absorption, coordination, and control—often at levels far more complex than a single-plane lift. More importantly, they’re fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. They expose kids to resistance through their own body weight, gravity, momentum, and interaction with the environment—across multiple planes of motion and constantly changing contexts. If the goal is to build strong, resilient, adaptable athletes, then resistance training for children must be viewed as a movement experience, not just a loading strategy.

🚨 Introducing my Player Data Dashboard 🚨 wtanalysisdashboard.streamlit.app Please RT & share this tool to analyse players ahead of the transfer window. Data is split by playing position allowing for deeper analysis. Many different visuals & leagues available.

The club will be hiring two internships in analyses who will work closely together with myself and the coaching team to aid player scouting, training analyses, and opposition analyses. The listing is also in English.

Great work by Michael 🔝

@cesc4official guest on @SkySport, analyzed his season in @Como_1907 and talked about how he set up his midfield without a “real” playmaker, and the specific work done with Perrone.

@undervalu newsletter is top insights like these🔝 Listening to players is some of the greatest coach education. Trust and clarity can be the ceiling for performance, any squad lacking those are doomed to fail! The best coaches create trust / clarity in every interaction

That's not a training session, that's a video session on the pitch. Players can visualise and feel the structure and the space, grasp the tactical idea a bit deeper. But zero physical load, zero technical requirement, zero decisions. Do this instead of video, not over football.
