After many months of not getting the website released... it's here.
I will add to this with more tutorials, packages and projects over time.
If you have a tutorial request let me know.
Also... if you spot errors, typos, DM me :)

Like all of Baltimore and Maryland, we are saddened by the passing of the Honorable Elijah Cummings, a champion for our city and our state.

Heroin and heartbreak, heroes and hope - here's my story on @MPinoe and her brother Brian, whose goal was to get out of prison in time to watch his kid sister play in her third World Cup espn.com/soccer/fifa-womens-… @USWNT

Paper with @YAMiAM9 on 4th-down strategy is now (finally?) online at Journal of Sports Analytics content.iospress.com/article…
Excited to announce that I will be joining the @Ravens this summer as a Quantitative Analyst!
Unfortunately, this means I must step down @StatsBomb. Although you might catch a guest appearance by me when I get nostalgic about soccer data.
Special thanks to all of the smart people @StatsBomb who made my time there so great. @mixedknuts @EuanDewar @lemonwatcher @jair1970 @TheM_L_G @shergul @CharlieERandall @alifakharany @Habozekry.

Today we're rolling out our version of a passing uniqueness model. Here's @YAMiAM9 with the methodology and application. statsbomb.com/2019/04/modeli…
For this (like me) who wished this was done in R, I translated Devin's work here: github.com/YamStats/Applied-…
I will be running a workshop this weekend at @RotmanSTAC titled "Applied Soccer Analytics in Python", using public data provided by @Statsbomb. Get your (free) ticket here: eventbrite.com/e/rotman-spor…
Slides and Jupyter Notebook will be posted beforehand on GitHub.
This work validated every hour I spent building Ultimate Teams on the FIFA 11 Demo during undergrad. Enjoy...

Excited to be granted a poster presentation at #SSAC19, for my research in evaluating goalkeepers in professional soccer. Look forward to attending my first conference and talk more about some of the work going on @StatsBomb.

Introducing Goalkeeper Radars by @mixedknuts and @YAMiAM9.
A detailed primer on the new GK metrics, why they were chosen, and why all this GK stuff is rather a Big Deal(TM).
Plus some questions about GKs that we still can't answer.

Bit on Alisson and the @StatsBomb data that suggests he is saving his team more goals than any other Premier League goalkeeper — a big difference for Liverpool. skysports.com/football/news/…

We have @YAMiAM9 back with more research on shooting under pressure. This time he's taking a deep dive on how the direction of pressure affects shots. statsbomb.com/2018/10/shots-…
