Hi everyone,
I’ve been working for the last 10 years as a sports data scout / data collector for statistics companies like FeedConstruct and Sportsdata.
My experience has been mainly focused on live match coverage, collecting and reporting football data in real time.
Now I’m looking to take the next step in my career and grow into a more analytical role by studying Data Analytics, Big Data, or something more specialized in football analytics.
I’d like to move from pure data collection into analysis, performance data, scouting intelligence, or football-related analytics roles.
For people already working in this field: what would you recommend studying?
Would you suggest general programs like Google Data Analytics, SQL + Python + Power BI, or something more specific such as sports analytics / football data programs?
I’d really appreciate any advice from people who made a similar transition.
Thanks!
