I wrote a couple of weeks ago that a new Soccermetrics company website was in development with the intention of having it go live by the 1st of the year. I wanted to bring together the three SRC-related sites under one content management system — company/product/client information, the blog, and the software and document repository, […]
I decided to open a BigSoccer account last night for the purpose of contributing to the soccer analytics and business forums there. A number of my posts have been linked on BigSoccer forums in the past, but I admit to having a arms-length relationship with Big Soccer for a very long time. There are some […]
I mentioned on Twitter earlier this week that there were some changes coming to Soccermetrics on the company side. Multiple things are happening in parallel, but one of those that I can announce at this time is a new website for Soccermetrics Research & Consulting. When I launched the company on a full-time basis five months […]

It will also be available on the public FTP site of Soccermetrics Research & Consulting in the Presentations folder.My thanks to Dr. Ryan Rodenberg for extending the invitation to present.

If you've been following me on Twitter, you would have seen my tweets chronicling my move from Tucson to the Atlanta area. I am happy to announce that I arrived in Atlanta Saturday afternoon after three and a half days and more than 1,700 miles on the road. My furniture hasn't arrived yet, and I'm […]
There are new visitors to this website all the time, so not everyone is aware of my ongoing projects, but I have been quiet about this particular project for quite some time. I have been working on the design of a match result database to facilitate my analysis work. I am very allergic to repetitive tasks, […]
Last night I said that I would have a major announcement to make on this site. It is an announcement that I have been preparing to make for several months, but I have told very few people until now. I am now ready to go public with the news. (more…)
A couple of months ago I mentioned that UPenn Wharton had put forward a request for proposals for a ticketing analytics research opportunity with Stubhub.
