Testimonials from students on Soccermatics Pro course
"My Python coding was a weak area for me, and I really wanted to improve in this so I can be more responsive to the needs of the coach and team. It was a great course, with such useful skills being covered. There are so many analysts working in football, but so much mathematics missing from their skillsets."
Mark Carter, English FA.
“Thank you for all this course does for the community. I'll be joining a Brazilian club as a data scientist in the upcoming weeks, and it is crystal clear that it would not happen without your course."
Rodrigo Salvador, Red Bull Bragantino
“The course combinated mathematics, programming, and real-life cases from industry experts - along with three obligatory hand-ins in Python. Being able to apply this course to own data sources and develop bespoke metrics makes this course recommendable.”
Simon Eilersen, Football Data Consultant, Danish League.
David goes through the methods for using Large Language models to talk about data. Ágúst breaks down scouting metrics.
