Who is it for?

This module is suitable for anyone who wants to understand how wearable devices can be used to maximum effect in football. You might be an early-career performance analyst looking to get the most out of key tools, or a student preparing for your first job or placement. The module would also be very useful for anyone thinking about a career in sports science.

This module is not the ideal starting point if you’re new to performance analysis. Our Level 1 Foundation in Performance Analysis is a better starting point if you want to find out what the discipline involves and how it’s used in elite football. However, if you’re completely new to data in football, the best place to start is the Level 1 Introduction to Analysis in Football course.
