Data Analyst: The Numbers Behind the Beautiful Game

Is sport an inseparable part of your life, and do you also love working with numbers? Then there may be no better career for you than football data analysis, the discipline reshaping how clubs recruit players, prepare for matches and make million-rand decisions.

The Data Analyst course introduces you to the data side of the modern game: understanding event and tracking data, key metrics such as expected goals, working with spreadsheets and analysis tools, visualising data so coaches can actually use it, and applying data to both performance and recruitment questions.
You do not need to be a mathematician or a programmer to start. You need curiosity, a love of the game, and a willingness to let evidence challenge opinion.

Data scouts and data analysts are among the most in-demand professionals in world football, and African football is only beginning to tap this field. Position yourself at the front of it with the Football Business Academy.

Opposition Analyst: Know the Enemy Before Kick-Off

Matches are not only won on the day; they are won in the week before, when a team learns exactly how its opponent plays. That intelligence comes from one person: the opposition analyst.
The Opposition Analyst course teaches you how to break down an upcoming opponent: their formation and structure in and out of possession, their pressing triggers, their set-piece routines, their key players and their weaknesses, and how to package it all into a clear pre-match report and presentation for the coaching staff.
You will learn to watch football differently, not as a fan following the ball, but as an analyst reading patterns, spaces and habits that can be exploited on matchday.

If you love the tactical side of the game and want a role at the heart of match preparation, the Opposition Analyst course with the Football Business Academy will train you to deliver the intelligence that wins games.

Set-Piece Analyst: Master Football's Fastest-Growing Specialisation

Up to a third of goals in modern football come from set pieces, yet most teams still treat corners and free kicks as an afterthought. The clubs that do not, the ones employing dedicated set-piece specialists, are turning dead-ball situations into a genuine competitive edge.

The Set-Piece Analyst course is dedicated entirely to this growing specialisation: analysing attacking and defensive set-piece routines, identifying opposition vulnerabilities on corners, free kicks and throw-ins, designing routines, and working with coaches to train and deliver them.

You will study set-piece trends from leagues around the world and learn how to build a set-piece playbook that fits your team's players and profile.

Set-piece coaching and analysis is one of the newest career paths in football, and the market is wide open in South Africa and across the continent. Get ahead of it with the Football Business Academy.

Performance Analyst: Turning Footage and Facts into Winning Insights

Why did the team concede from the same channel three matches in a row? Why does the striker's output drop after sixty minutes? Gut feel cannot answer those questions. Performance analysis can.
Performance analysis combines notational analysis, the factual record of what happened in a match, with the study of movement and physical output, to give coaches an objective picture of team and player performance.

On the Performance Analyst course you will learn how to code matches, build key performance indicators, analyse individual and team trends over time, and, most importantly, communicate your findings in a way that changes what happens on the training pitch.
Performance analysts are now embedded in technical teams at every serious club, and the demand for skilled analysts in South African football is growing fast. Train with the Football Business Academy and become the person who turns information into an advantage.

Video Analyst: Where Every Coaching Decision Begins

Ask any top coach how they prepare for a match and the answer starts in the same place: the video room. Video analysis is the first and most important step in improving a team's performance, and the person behind it is the video analyst.
The Video Analyst course teaches you the foundations of the profession: filming and capturing matches and training sessions, clipping and coding footage, building highlight packages for coaches and players, and using video to tell a clear footballing story.

You will work with the tools and workflows used in the modern game and learn how analysts fit into a technical team, from matchday filming to the Monday review session.
No club is too small to benefit from video, and no analyst pathway starts anywhere else. Whether your ambition is the PSL, the international game, or building an analysis service of your own, the Video Analyst course with the Football Business Academy is where it begins.
