Dan’s journey into soccer analysis is different to most, and after a totally non-related degree, he bagged himself an internship with New York City FC. After working with the first team and academy teams, he made the move over to FC Dallas to head up the department there. I ask Dan about some of his roles and responsibilities, and he explains what an average week and match day is really like as an analyst in the MLS.For more MLS content, check out the other related episodes linked down below.(and subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already!)0:00 – Introduction2:05 – Dan joins and gives background7:26 – Starting out with an internship 13:43 – Roles and responsibilities at New York City22:59 – Academy and first team analysis, the differences31:31 – Joining (and moving to) Dallas37:50 – Scouting opposition44:47 – An average week for Dan50:56 – Match days54:01 – Travelling to fixtures56:28 – Combining tracking with video58:54 – Video analysis working group1:01:56 – New trends, USL promotion/relegation1:06:18 – Book recommendation, wrap upBook mentionedThe quality of madness (Bielsa): https://amzn.to/4lf5hBB Related EpisodesJohn Elsenblast (Seattle Sounders):Sam Gregory (US Soccer): https://youtu.be/x-aDJXkYOOEHarry Jamieson (San Diego): https://youtu.be/_r0u-jZmkps Scott Madle (Cincinnati): https://youtu.be/N0pNiRmPUPw Sam Green (LA Galaxy): https://youtu.be/WLKPLpTmtMc Lucy Rushton (DC United): https://youtu.be/9tPdnQJ-Vl8Alessandro Barcherini (Working with Bielsa): https://youtu.be/qPS41V84Lc4 Check out the APFA ‘Jobs in Football webinar that Dan was a part of: https://apfa.io/jobs-in-analysis-2024-12-12/#mls #fcdallas #soccer #socceranalytics #footballanalytics◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️CONNECT WITH ME🌎 Website: https://www.chris-gill.com 👨🏼‍💻 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgilluk/ 🎙️ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ZocCdjxjdVJZjO4UNNNew 🆇 X/Twitter: https://x.com/chrisgill_UK FREE RESOURCES📋 Football CV Template – https://cvtemplate.chris-gill.com/download 📝 Cover Letter Template - https://coverletter.chris-gill.com/download 📚 Ultimate list of sports analysis/coaching books - https://books.chris-gill.com/download PAID RESOURCES🐍 Learn PYTHON for football analysis – https://courses.mckayjohns.com/courses/football-analytics-course?ref=3f7c5c ⚽️ Football Analysis Education (Gill10 for 10% off) – https://apfa.io/course/ref/chrisgill_UK/ 📊 Become a data analyst with Data Camp: https://datacamp.pxf.io/WqBZGA
