About me
Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Sports Performance with ATU Donegal, with an expected completion date in August 2023. Within this program, I have undertaken an in- depth study of Performance Analysis, which has equipped me with the knowledge and expertise required to excel in this field. As part of my master’s program, I am currently engrossed in a dissertation project where I employ performance analysis techniques to identify the physical and technical determinants of performance in under 14 male soccer using GPS and video analysis software.
Furthermore, I have gained practical experience utilizing the Performance Analysis software Nacsport. In this capacity, I conduct comprehensive analysis for a youth academy where I serve as a coach. Through the meticulous recording of games and the application of a sophisticated tagging system, I have effectively utilized Nacsport to extract valuable insights. Additionally, I have completed notable coaching badges with the FAI, including the National D license. Moreover, I have successfully completed the following performance analysis courses:
• Performa Sport – Coaching with Performance Analysis
• PFSA – Level 1 in Performance Analysis
• AnalyiSport – Level 1 Foundation in Performance Analysis
