According to Forbes: Data-driven companies are 23 times more likely to top their competitors in customer acquisition, about 19 times more likely to stay profitable and nearly seven times more likely to retain customers. But most importantly: Data-driven goalkeepers such as Jordan Pickford are more likely to save penalties and bring football home 😉 #datadriven #euro2024

Now that soccer players know, their penalties are analyzed and their names are on these lists, will they change their tactics and throw off keepers …..?

“Data-driven goalkeepers such as Jordan Pickford are more likely to save penalties and take football home”. Now is this claim supported by data? 😜. You would need to see a group of keepers with and without using data……

What's really funny is that he did the opposite of what he had written down in his penalty vs Schär - you can almost always trust the data! He also did dive the right way for another penalty, but was too powerful to save - data can only get you so far

I think most people forget that this data came after 20y of training and developing intuition (which is just subsconscious data-driven guidance by our super-computer), reflexes, etc. But yeah… assuming you put two same goalies at the door but one is without data, the percentage will be in favour of the data-driven. Great info for high-performers, too advanced noise for starters.

Only 1 out of 4 if I am correct. What if he did not have this list, maybe it would have been 4 out of 4. And by the way, Hans van Breukelen had such a list already back in 1988. He could remember it, didn't have to write it down.
Yes. We are going to see this one in a lot of data strategy decks, aren’t we?

Was the other goalie not data-driven too? 😂
You assume every goalkeeper pick side to jump for saves but most prominent goalkeepers use many other factors like intuition or body language. Frequentists wont always win 😃 And, Pickford cant even make in the top 5 best goalkeepers list
