For those working on a research project in sports analytics, the conference's call for abstracts will go out next month (with abstracts typically due in late May).

Save the date: CASSIS ‘26 will be held on September 12th this year. Same venue as always (SFU Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver).

@CountNefaria22 @ground_guru All of the above happened after my time at Milan and the Kings, respectively, so unfortunately I’m not of much help.

@ground_guru @LukeBornn Omg, I just saw that you also work with Roma and the Sacramento Kings. Were you part of the braintrust that basically traded Halliburton for Sabonis? @LukeBornn

Ever wondered why Brighton and Brentford do well, no matter who their coach is? Or why some coaches leave those clubs and then don't perform as well? @LukeBornn trainingground.guru/podcast/luke-b…

@ground_guru @PeterPrickett @ToulouseFC To clarify, we specified high-level style of play where aligned with our overall philosophy and backed by data. But we weren’t dogmatic about any of the finer tactical details, esp those w/o empirical backing, and let those shift dynamically w/ squad, coaching, experience, etc.

@PeterPrickett @LukeBornn @ToulouseFC Very true. Guess this means a fixed style of play, but philosophy was my word.

We hear a lot about clubs - and Head Coaches - having a playing philosophy @LukeBornn says @ToulouseFC have decided on the exact opposite - and had a period of unprecedented success trainingground.guru/luke-bornn-why…

I rarely speak publicly on technical topics these days, so I really enjoyed recording an episode on Alex Andorra's Bayes podcast recently. For those with a more technical bent in the stats/analytics community, hopefully there are some useful nuggets here. open.spotify.com/episode/0tHyNk…

@ErikSelim V1 has lots of viz within the app, but these ones are all created in R (mostly via ggplot)

@LukeBornn Is this visualization from V1 or what software did you use?

While watching this 0-0 draw, thought I'd try visualizing some personal golf data. The intersection of golfers and sports analysts couldn't fill a foursome, but perhaps a couple of you are interested. First up, a round at Bandon Dunes from earlier in the summer. 1/5

@joe_sill Haha, I play a course that has a couple 500-540 yard Par 5s, so it's typically driver then 3-wood.

@LukeBornn You reached a few par 5s in 2 ! Impressive ! Looks like you even did it from the rough. Was it something like a 2 or 3 iron for the 2nd shot on those, or do you like to hit woods on those shots?

@ConnorJungle @ArccosGolf V1 Game from @v1sports -- I've tried a ton of options but this has been the best so far.

@LukeBornn What are you using to track your shot data, @ArccosGolf ?

@Stat_Ron V1 Game from @v1sports -- I've tried a ton of options but this has been the best so far.

@LukeBornn How are you collecting your data?

And lastly, the same but focused on driver. Time for a new driver... 5/5

A simple one looking at strokes gained against distance, split by shot type. Pretty remarkable how costly penalties and shots into recovery situations are. Turns out the only thing I'm half-competent at is recovery punch-outs. 4/5
