To those who are interested in soccer analytics, there will be a meeting in the video class room in Ratner at 9am on Wednesday morning. Please email me (mchoquette@uchicago.edu) or Facebook message me if you're interested. Essentially, you'd be working directly with film, gathering stats, and using this to produce analysis. It should be an awesome opportunity to get some hands on experience in analytics!
