“Players asked: ‘Why don’t we train speed? I said; “We train that every day, because football is that: speed, acceleration; not run for the sake of running, but to adapt & run in relation to the ball/opponent. Touch the ball with appropriate speed & direction desired.” -Seirul·lo

Beware of averages, Because just one outlier can distort reality. Example: Elon Musk walks into a football stadium And increases the average level of wealth by $1m.

What do people do to find and stay on top of the best new research into performance in football?

Interesting question. Would be nice to see if conversion rates have changed over time.
Are penalties still a relative challenge for (most) modern players?

Few hours later and it must be higher than 86% now?
So, I keep hearing the argument "Portugal can't have 86% chance of progress/Group F can't have 89% of best 3rd because if Portugal lose etc etc" This is the "if if if argument". The fact is that they haven't lost (slightly more than 40% chance of that). #POR

This journey was unique, but last night we all wished for a different outcome. Sometimes we win, sometimes we learn. Proud on every player and on the team for what is achieved this season: League, Continental Cup and Community Shield winners & second best in Europe. 💙

Paced myself a lot better today and ran the correct intervals. 😅 10x500m 3:33/km pace.
Not something new but this is a really nice visual of the relative age effect in football.
Relative age effect is nuts. Planning on having a professional footballer? Get your timing right!

What is the best Python library for visualising data in tables?

Thought this was an excellent intro if you are starting off with @matplotlib which can be a little daunting at first if you are like me and more familiar with ggplot. Some good pointers from @petermckeever on data vis also.
