Starting the conversation with data
It’s amazing how two people can watch the same moment in sport and see two different things. You can guarantee that one person’s penalty was another person’s bad refereeing decision. Or for some it was genius, for others luck.
Such differing perceptions can maintain a conversation for ages, and even bring together strangers in a common interest. However how much of this conversation is based on any real insight and how is much is simply repeating the mantras of pundits paid to be controversial?
In this blog I hope to maintain the conversation, but from an angle based on data. Can this act as a starting point for interesting conversations? Of course data still has to be interpreted and different perceptions can emerge, but hopefully there will be some substance to the ideas and a trail of evidence to follow.
I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
