Rob Carroll, who operates a performance analyst site called The Video Analyst, has written a very detailed two-part summary of the Sports Analytics conference that was held in Manchester a couple of weeks ago.  Part One is available here and Part Two is here.  Highlights of the conference were presentations by Bill Gerrard on evidence-based coaching, the Manchester City performance department on the use of analysis in a major football club, and an interview with Oakland A's GM Billy Beane.  It's well worth your time to read both parts and follow the links therein.
