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. 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. Whether it’s through our library of over 1,500+ articles and resources, our performance coaching, scouting & recruitment for pro clubs, or mentorship for analysts and coaches.
3. INSPIRATION STARTS FROM WITHIN
We constantly strive to improve the quality of our analysis, knowledge of the game, and the quality of our writing. 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.
ASPIRING ANALYSTS – MENTORSHIP
I work with aspiring analysts looking to develop their skills in video analysis, editing, report writing, and game IQ.

PLAYERS – PERFORMANCE COACHING
I work with pro and emerging/young footballers looking to develop their game. On our coaching calls, we’ll break down live in-match footage to help players develop their game IQ, and make quicker, correct decisions on and off the pitch.
