“The Power BI for Sport Scientists course was an absolute game-changer for anyone in the high-performance field. The tailored content and real-life sports data examples provided an incredibly insightful and applicable learning experience. From athlete performance tracking to in-depth statistical analysis, this course offered a comprehensive understanding of how to harness Power BI's capabilities for optimizing sports data management and decision-making processes.”
Ryan Davies
QPR FC — Sport Scientist
“This course has transformed how I report GPS data and hugely increased coaches’ engagement with training load. Would recommend this course to anyone working with any sort of sports performance data and analysis.”
Sophie Grimson
Brighton & Hove Albion — Physical Performance Data Scientist
“Can’t recommend this course highly enough to any sport science practitioners looking to enhance their data analysis and visualisation skills. The industry is currently lacking specific examples and support for practitioners to embed Power BI and Tableau into their daily workflow. This course specifically helps with forming reports to produce training load analysis via Power BI and I now use these daily.”
Lucas Posthuma
Almere City FC — Sport Scientist
“Although I was already familiar with Power BI, this course was really helpful. It started with the basics and then delved into real world situations with some really good examples on how to create different dashboards. I especially liked the fact that all the thinking behind the calculations and graphs was explained very well. The course was separated in different modules which eased the learning process. So, both for beginners and for more experienced users this course can be useful if you want to get your message across in a clear way.”
Conor Smith
Wexford GAA — Sport Scientist
“Power BI for Sport Scientists is a great all in one learning tool for sports practitioners that are interested in adding to their skill set. As a beginner, Level 1 of the course guided me step-by-step through building a functional database, as well as creating several efficient and informative dashboards/visualisations. Subsequently, these dashboards provided a strong foundation whereby I could confidently convey key messages to players, coaches and medical staff.”
Yannis Irid
INSEP French National Institute of Sport — PhD Candidate
“The course provides an outstanding introduction to the world of data visualization, especially within the unique context of sports. The competencies I gained through this course have empowered me to communicate with precision and effectiveness among diverse staff members. I am now proficient in crafting comprehensive and pertinent reports, which play a pivotal role in guiding our decisions concerning player load management.
Furthermore, I would like to emphasize the remarkable responsiveness of the course's creators, Ciaran and Johannes, in swiftly addressing any challenges we may encounter during the learning journey. Their unwavering support has proven to be an invaluable asset, significantly enhancing my overall learning experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend this course to all professionals, be they sports scientists or strength and conditioning coaches. It presents an exceptional opportunity to cultivate indispensable skills in the realm of data visualization tailored for the world of sports.”
