Why You Should Take Our Soccer Analytics Course

Analytics in all sports now starts with data.

How do you know how efficient Cristiano Ronaldo is as a player if you have no benchmark data to compare his work to? Can you determine with any statistical significance if Leo Messi is improving or declining in play without a thorough data profile of his career? How do you evaluate players in the transfer window without a deep understanding of their positional value?

Wyscout is the source for all such data, a treasure chest of information for the stats-minded soccer analyst. Wyscout is the world’s biggest library of football video and data.

Simply put, everyone needs to understand Wyscout. Learning Wyscout has never been more important to make evidence-based decisions. With Wyscout, you can flag potential targets and evaluate them through video before sending scouts to see them.
