Every week, via Twitter I see a vast number of Performance Analysis blogs which deserve every chance they can get to be read by as wide an audience as possible.
Since starting my blog I had the idea to include links to the best of these in a post each week so that people had every chance to view them. I've since seen a couple of other blogs which do something similar by I'm going to do this anyway, at least then it gives me something to refer back to if I ever need to!
James Grayson's excellent blog post about the correlation of Total Shot Ratio to success (tweeted via @OptaPro)
The always excellent Power Of Goals blog by Mark Taylor looks at an example of Arsenal's shot comparison when taking stronger and weaker feet into account (follow Mark at @MarkTaylor0)
From the Performance Analysis in Sport Twitter feed, a link to Chris Anderson's Soccer by The Numbers blogpost looking at Height discrimination when referees award fouls (tweeted by @Perf_Sport)
Some developments in American Football about the use of the iPad in the modern game, will probably be the next step in football, a lot of clubs already using this (Thanks to New York Red Bulls Performance Analyst Dave Lee for the link to this one, follow him @davelee_NY)
