Amazing night in Green Bay for the first soccer game at @LambeauField! Thanks to Bayern and City for visiting Wisconsin.
80,000 fans filled Lambeau Field to watch Man City vs Bayern Munich 🏟🇺🇸
That's awesome Derek, thanks for sharing! I've found that once you start talking in terms of PPP it becomes second-hand, and it really is the best way to measure efficiencies on both ends of the court. Glad you enjoyed the book!
Replying to @scotttappa
@scotttappa loved reading your book on analytics. I started using vps 6 years ago to give me another tool to analyze playing time. Your book opened me up to the value of PPP which I had never considered. I also have used a lot of color coded shot charts to help our shooters.

This was a great see over breakfast. Thanks for the purchase, Coach, hope you enjoy the book and uncover some actionable takeaways!
I can’t wait to dig into this book by @scotttappa on high school basketball analytics. I am hopeful I can continue to learn how to use statistical analysis to become a better coach. #book50for21 #readersareleaders

#Badgers linebackers haven’t gotten home on pass rush yet, and Nebraska tight ends have about 71 catches so far. Try something different?

Not complaining one bit, but how awful has Purdue's play calling been today? #badgers
Listening to Matt Millen call a game is absolute torture. How he continues to be hired to call games is beyond me. #badgers

Over the past several years I’ve written some books, the majority on coaching youth sports but a few fiction. All are self-published through Amazon. Here’s a little bit about the books -- 5-star ratings and reviews are appreciated! amazon.com/Scott-Tappa/e/B07…

I wanted to write a book whose main character is a girl. The Kid Who Called the Plays is just that. You can probably guess what the girl ends up doing in this book, but her path to it and what she does once she gets there was fun to write. amazon.com/Kid-Who-Called-Pl…

Last winter I coached basketball at our high school. We had a fun season and I coached with some great guys. One of my contributions was to track and try to make sense of the mountain of data available to us. The result: High School Basketball Analytics. amazon.com/dp/B0992MGZ2N/ref…
