I would like to talk about data analysis in sports in general. Nowadays,
 every movement, every decision an athlete makes on the field is 
registered, watched and analysed. Every single data about the athletes 
could be useful to coaches. It would allow them to have a better idea on
 how to identify the other teams weaknesses or strenghts, but also it 
gives information on your own habilities and weaknesses. As an example, 
did you know that in football a video game called football manager is 
now frequently used by clubs? This video game contains a huge data base 
that a lot of clubs lean on for mutiple tasks such as scouting players or identifying strategies and weaknesses of the other. Football manager allowed a lot of clubs with low budgets to aspire a better club level. Their data base is so effective that some clubs like Toulouse Football Club or Lens managed to get promoted to a superior division and then to get into european cups which means that they finished on the top of the table. A lot of people were starting to complain about how football was getting dominated by wealthy clubs that spent all their money on the best players. We can now see little clubs getting more and more wins that were not possible a few years ago. Therefore european football is still massively dominated by wealthy clubs. But it kind of gives hope to the little clubs out here. Never the less, football manager is a very useful tool to clubs and data analysts are starting more and more to be very important in modern sports. It is also kind of ironic how video games that are often rejected by the sport's field, and that now one is used to improve football on a deep strategical and physical level. Hopefully, one day esport will be considered as a real sport by everybody out there. Football is evolving a lot with the tecnological advancement that is made everyday. It is quite astonishing to see how the impact of technology on sports is growing each day. We have now a lot technology involved in refereeing and strategy. Which is game changing to sports. Perhaps one day, we will see robots play the game, who knows?
