VALUES
1. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
We endeavour to create in-depth articles and analyses, ensuring that regardless of who you are or how much you know about the game, you will learn something new every time you read our insights. Through this pathway, we prioritize originality within our work, and create a depth of information that you simply can’t find anywhere else.
2. ACCESSIBLE ANALYSIS
We see performance analysis as a gateway for development, that can allow anyone in the game to take their craft to the next level. Within that realization, our aim is to help as many people as possible to grow their game. In doing so, we give 1,000+ articles and resources away on the site for free, and provide accessible options for performance coaching, scouting & recruitment for pro clubs, and mentorship for coaches.
3. INSPIRATION STARTS FROM WITHIN
We recognize how difficult it can be to inspire others if you do not truly believe in yourself. Our analysts are constantly working to improve the quality of their work, their knowledge of the game, and their lives outside of sport to become the best version of themselves that they can be. In doing so, we aim to inspire others to do the same. Along the way, we prioritize creativity and innovation, seeking to find new ways of helping our athletes, coaches and clubs reach their full potential.
SERVICES
CLUBS – SCOUTING DATABASES
We work with clubs through a linkage between data and video analysis, assessing potential prospects around the club’s specific principles of play and needs. In doing so, we create comprehensive databases that continuously allow clubs to identify players that suit their needs, and strategically plan for the future.
To discuss what this would entail for your club, reach out to us over email! We love connecting with new clubs.
COACHES – MENTORSHIP
We work with coaches around the world in six different sports, helping them to develop their coaching philosophies, game models, and tactical/analytical knowledge.
To discuss the possibility of coaching mentorship or a coaching consultation, reach out to us over email! We love connecting with coaches from all over the world in any sport!
PLAYERS – PERFORMANCE COACHING
We work with athletes across the pro, semi-pro, university/college, high-school, and youth levels of five different sports, primarily soccer/football. We break down live in-match footage to help players better assess for ‘BOTS’ and make quicker, correct decisions on and off the pitch.
