There is a moment in every great match that nobody saw coming. The pass, no model would recommend. The run that made no sense until it did. We watch sports for that. The thing you cannot predict.

And yet, right now, somewhere behind that pitch, a room full of people is trying to predict exactly that. Measuring every step. Every sprint. Every heartbeat. The most human, chaotic, emotional thing we do, the beautiful game, has quietly become one of the most measured things on the planet.

Presented by Qlik Partner Ambassador MVP Igor Alcantara, and #Qlik Partner and Education Ambassador Angelika Klidas, this episode talks about Data Analytics in Sports. The World Cup is here and with that, lots of data, statistics, and analysis. We start with the World Cup, we go back to where this whole thing began, and we look at how real teams use this today, from Football to Hockey and more.
