Analysing video and data to achieve performance gains is now essential for the best-prepared players and teams. As the use of analysis in football has evolved, so too has the role of analysts in a football club’s multidisciplinary team. This has led to the growth of the coach-analyst role, crystallising the connection between analysis and on-the-grass coaching. 

We are therefore delighted to present an expert-panel discussion, explaining best practices for incorporating analysis into coaching, as well as exploring analyst career pathways into coaching. Providing their expert insights are Swansea City first-team coach/analyst George Lawtey, Arsenal academy coach and analyst Josh Brimacombe-Wiard, and Swindon Town coach/analyst Liam McCartan, who also works with the Republic of Ireland’s men’s Under-21s. 

All three guests get stuck into some excellent questions from our Coaches’ Voice subscribers, as put to them by our brilliant host, Georgie Bingham. We hope you enjoy the insight
