Performance Analysis in Team Sports

Filling an important gap in the performance analysis literature, this book explores the key characteristics of team sports and presents a general framework for analysis. Drawing on cutting-edge research and data, it examines individual, paired and collective behaviours in team sports, as well as the crucial relationship between analysis and the coaching process. The second part of the book drills down into analysis techniques across a wide range of team sports, including soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball and rugby. This is an essential companion for any course or research project on sport performance analysis or sports coaching, and an invaluable reference for professional analysts.
