I′ve been part of a youth soccer team management for a couple of seasons now, and I can′t help but feel frustrated with our player selection process. Last season, we relied heavily on subjective evaluations from coaches and parents, which led to some players being overlooked while others who didn′t perform well got picked due to familiarity. We ended up with an unbalanced team that struggled throughout the season. How can data-driven insights improve our strategies in player selection? Are there specific metrics or analytics tools that could help us make more informed decisions about which players to recruit and how to build a cohesive team?
