All change in a year…

My last post on this was on the 24th March a whole year ago. At the time of writing I had just been given an internship at Gillingham FC, given the opportunity to help the first team for the final few months of the season…..

Since this point I have been given a full time role at the club, in charge of Performance Analysis. This covers not only the first team but also overseeing the running of analysis at u18’s and 16’s. This now provides opportunity to expand this further in coming seasons and improve the analysis at the club with the ultimate aim of continual improvement on the pitch.

The main of my work is with the first team, I am in charge of all opposition analysis and post match analysis and so far this season it has been a good year for us!

Here is an interview that I’ve done with our brilliant media team at the Gills to give people a little bit of an idea of what I do…..

I now get a lot of messages from analysts and aspiring analysts via LinkedIn and other social media, I try to answer as many as possible.

At the start of the season there was a lot of speculation media-wise about the team’s predicted league position, but all within the club had and still do believe that this season can be one to remember. We got off to a magnificent first few months of the season, picking up results that surprised many outside of the club and have continued fantastic form throughout the season.

At the time of writing this there are 11 matches left of the 2015/16 season. My next update will most likely be at the end of the season when I reflect a bit more on our year are a club and mine in my role.

Until then we will all continue to work hard for the final push, get behind the boys and see what we can do!

Up The Gills!
