FOOTBALL DECODED: Using Match Analysis & Context to Interpret the Demands di Dr

Note:
This book was designed to quench the seemingly unlimited thirst for niche knowledge in the science and football area. Specifically, the intricacies and nuances surrounding the physical, technical and tactical demands of the game. Given the unprecedented interest within the industry for not just new information but useful and valuable material, it was clear that a dedicated text on ‘decoding’ the various facets of football performance would be well received. The decoding component of the book title, specifically relates to the cultivation of context to potentially help coaches and applied practitioners to see the signal from the noise as ’chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered’ (Saramago, 2005). Thus, I personally hope you enjoyed reading the various chapters that attempted to join up the very complex dots of football performance.
