Takeaways:

• Communicating Bayesian concepts to non-technical audiences in sports analytics can be challenging, but it is important to provide clear explanations and address limitations.
• Understanding the model and its assumptions is crucial for effective communication and decision-making.
• Involving domain experts, such as scouts and coaches, can provide valuable insights and improve the model's relevance and usefulness.
• Customizing the model to align with the specific needs and questions of the stakeholders is essential for successful implementation. 
• Understanding the needs of decision-makers is crucial for effectively communicating and utilizing models in sports analytics.
• Predicting the impact of training loads on athletes' well-being and performance is a challenging frontier in sports analytics.
• Identifying discrete events in team sports data is essential for analysis and development of models.
