Fun #F1 race today, lots of thing to discuss. but I want to focus on the important things: Data "Since when has data analysis been used in sports? Welcome to Statistics 1.0. With Big Data and Machine Learning, what happens? Now it is possible to collect and analyze enormous amounts of data. GPS sensors, high-definition cameras, and machine learning algorithms have allowed for an unprecedented level of analysis. Brief background Baseball: - 1960s: The "SABRmetrics" movement begun in baseball, focusing on objective statistics to measure player performance. We've all seen the movie "Moneyball," and if you haven't, it is a most. Imagine all this without Excel (launched in 1985). NFL: - 1960s: The NFL also adopts data analysis to find the best players, analyze performance, and improve tactical decision-making. The Dallas Cowboys were already doing this in the late 1960s. F1 (Formula 1): - 1970s and 80s: F1 teams begin using data to analyze vehicle performance and improve decision-making during races. Regulators also start modifying rules to make the sport more competitive. The biggest change came with the introduction of telemetry. Today, a car has up to 300 sensors, and with machine learning, they perform countless simulations to make the best decisions and reduce wear and tear on parts. A small comparison between cars: this season's cars are 70% faster than those from two years ago, and they reduce their aerodynamic load from 50% to 15% vs. those from two seasons ago. That's an abysmal increase in performance in just 24 months. Soccer: - 1990s: European football clubs begin using data analysis to improve player and team performance. Fun fact: Johan Cruyff played baseball and soccer (as we all know). The global vision of the field and deciding where to send the ball before receiving it are concepts from this sport that, according to his autobiography, fundamentally shaped the control and passing exercises in the rondos, the central structure of tiki-taka." I know that I also missing some other sports that I love too. (Golf, Tennis, cycling, etc) Which tool or code do you use to analyze data? #f1 #data #bigdata #telemetry #machinelearning #sports #code #simulation https://lnkd.in/eb5QMkPS

🏎️💡 Monday morning scroll revelations on social media got me thinking about the fascinating intersection of data and Formula 1 racing. 📊💥 Intrigued, I delved into the depths of the internet to uncover the intricate ways data shapes the high-speed world of F1. From optimizing performance to crafting winning strategies, data is the driving force behind every split-second decision on the track. 🚀 Teams analyze a myriad of metrics, from tire degradation to engine performance, leveraging insights to gain that crucial competitive edge. But it doesn't stop there—data isn't just for the teams. As a fan, I was amazed by how technology enriches the viewing experience. Real-time data visualization brings the excitement of the race to life, offering deeper insights into the action unfolding on the track. 🎉📈 So, next time you're watching Formula 1, take a moment to appreciate the role data plays in shaping the sport we love. It's not just about speed—it's about the science behind the speed. 🏁💻 #MondayMusings #Formula1 #DataDriven #RacingInsights

One of the biggest hurdles as a coach, trainer, and therapist is understanding where your athlete is lacking, and which area of need would raise the ability of correlated movements/exercises. Good news! At Output Sports we’ve taken a huge step in shrinking that hurdle and have even given you the ability to customize how you compare athletes with custom groupings or filters. Information is only as useful as it can be effectively communicated. Make sure the systems you are using, are helping YOU communicate with your athletes.

🌍✨ Excited to Share My Latest Project: Paris Olympic 2024 Dashboard!🥇 With the highly anticipated Paris 2024 Olympics just around the corner, I’ve taken the initiative to create an interactive Power BI dashboard that captures the spirit and excitement of this global event. This project is not only a testament to my passion for sports but also a demonstration of how data visualization can enhance our understanding of complex events. Project Overview: The Paris Olympic 2024 Dashboard provides an engaging and informative experience for sports enthusiasts, analysts, and anyone intrigued by the Olympics.
