InStat: Good or Bad

[Unregistered]

Right, but parents see an index and say "look, this is an above average performance based on this technology that you said is for evaluating the players" so for clubs it really is a double edged sword. YOu either trust it and have to stand by the outputs, since you basically have parents paying for this or you dont trust it and then have to decide what is the point?

It’s a “differentiating” factor to let y’all know what great technology is used to produce the best players in the world! Are you sold yet?

MF Shore is the best! Screw all your ****ty township/academy's. If your kid isn't here at MF Shore, she sucks and shouldn't be playing soccer. Get her a pots and pan set and call it a day. WE ARE THE SHORE!

You people make me laugh. Parents complain about their kid being better then the starter but still doesn't get any time and now they have a tool that can show it but you still complain.

Is it perfect, no, nothing is in the early stages. Doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't be used. How do you think it gets better? I've seen it used and the amount of data produced and it isn't a bad tool even for youth sports.

Like most statistical tools, its useful but has to be used in the correct context. its more useful when the competition is uniform. Some agencies are getting the data an publishing it like a ranking list.

Quote from NWSL Pre draft

Found a player who has 37% SOT on InStat but 49% SOT on her college's website, that's not a complete ****ing nightmare for front offices or anything

And you really think the data for Club kids is good? LOL

As biometrics boom, who owns athletes’ data? It depends on the sport


https://www.washingtonpost.com/sport...-data-privacy/

Parents, ask questions


“The U.S. has been quite significantly behind [the EU],” says professor Barbara Osborne, who teaches sports administration at the University of North Carolina and has studied athlete privacy. But how concerned Osborne is about how an athlete’s data might be used depends on the athlete in question.

In her research, she points out that some labor agreements between leagues and players have begun to cover biometric data — including the NFL, which grants ownership of certain data to the players. “Professional sport is pretty well protected because of the rights and responsibilities of leagues, management and players,” she says.

But there are no such provisions at the lower level of sports.

“The youth and amateur level are where there is potential for abuse from a legal perspective,” she says. “People are not fully informed as to what data is being gathered and how it’s being used — and whether it’s being monetized by third parties.”

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Time for me to read some fine print on the devices and services we use to monitor.
