About the role
This internship supports coaches by coding matches, organising video and exploring performance data. The panel wants football understanding as well as careful analysis, because a tidy chart is not useful if the event definitions or tactical interpretation are weak. You should show how you turn a broad coaching question into a small number of clear findings.
How to prepare
- Analyse a short passage of play and connect your observations to a tactical question.
- Review how event definitions, timestamps and quality checks make match coding reliable.
- Practise using a spreadsheet to summarise and compare football events without overstating the sample.
- Prepare a concise video or written analysis that leads to a practical coaching conversation.
- Think through a file-naming and handover process for work shared by several analysts.
Common mistakes
- Listing metrics without explaining their tactical relevance.
- Treating a single match or isolated event as proof of a stable pattern.
- Presenting too many clips or charts for the time available.
- Failing to agree definitions before combining coded data.
