Condition : in the pre-season Bryant University (bulldogs) to improvise football

team
Sports Analytics in advance analytics lab

Visualization

Statistics

Predictive modeling using sensor data

Need analytics for

Better recruiting
Better passing / receiving
Better fitness / conditioning

Typical recruiting problem

We have invite 20 receiving student receivers I could giving 3 scholarship
Who gets scholarships ??
Old factors they already measure :

Height/weight
Speed
Size of hands
Length of arms

New Factors : Reactions time

Ones we get receiver, we have a good passing quarterback.
We have GPS for sensor analytics

Video analytics could help

(psycology) Dr Dave

Brainstorming ideas with coaches

o Lightbulb perception test (Need more learn about this !!!!)
(put a receiver on a dark room, how fast a head rotate, and
where the head ending direcly after the light source)
Measures peripheral vision reflex time
Measures accuracy
o Faubert motion object test (prof Jocelyn faubert)
Professional athletes have extraordinary skill for rapidly learning
complex and neutral dynamic visual scenes (other sports , football,
hockey and other)

Precision route running (we can instruments who round perpect round
using deviation using GPS for looking every receiver like sky and
swimming group-

He recruit 2 students giana and kevin (SP and SU they join the player,
recruits and coaches)
They collect sensors and team video data for analysis
The Progress :
Giana :
lightbulb and motion object test
Each recruits got 5 tries for every test
Lightbulbs test : head rotation time and ending gaze deviation in two
dimension (left or right and up and down)
Sas report shows that :
R10 : gaze accuracy as well as head rotation. Sometimes Rec turn head
downs quickly dont end up position correctly, fast but not accurate.
Motion object test, check 2 more times.
Start using 8 balls, and track 4 balls (1,5,6,7)
Slow, medium, fast
Some athletes much cleary better attraction
Kevin
Route running.
GPS sensors were not used. Coach used practice and game film. For each
pass play has a perfect route. ((looking a perpect route))
Called wrangler and we marked up having a one second timing.
Look like receiver run 4 yards and cut 45 degrees and get 2.2 seconds 11
yards downfields
Although he starts from different points we can allowed when we overlay
his line a score deviation
Using coordinate system and algorithm to compute
To look overcut :
Overshoot cut and wrong angle and miss end points
Showing precision route
Green : perpect
Yellow : good
And red we dont want
Total
Scholarship rec
5 peoples
We search regression test to shows new factors are statistically
significants
Foot speed
Emotion object test (significant)
Lightbulb test
Reaction time and hand size
When football start giana and Jason go the game.

They pick a good recruit this season. Freshners get a game.

He fast and he running presisi. We winning because get a better
passing
