    Excited to share what we've been working on this season with Ballard FC in their United Soccer League (USL)2 Season! This year we focused a lot more on building behind the seasons tools, tracking more metrics and improving our process. I'll have more posts on that in the future, including an open source Event coding tool that we created, but still wanted to share the stats dashboard that we put together for the team. Collaborating closely with the coaches this season was a game-changer, and I learned so much from their insights. Thanks to James Riley and Josh Chasan for your time. We added some exciting feature enhancements this year, with two standout updates: ⚽ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: This allows us to track not only where shots were taken from, but also where they ended up, offering deeper insights. One highlight I found was how Austin Brummett seems to really like scoring on the right side of the goal. 🎯𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥: Designed to track where shots land on goal, this tool has been incredibly valuable for goalkeeper analysis, revealing patterns over time that we hadn’t seen before. Huge shoutout to Sam Zisette for all his support at Ballard FC and Sebastian Bush for help with coding shots and goals. As always, couldn't have done this without Paulina Thrasher, thanks for being the legend that you are. #UptheBridges #SoccerAnalytics #FootballAnalytics
