A Walk With Legends: The Number 9️⃣

January 18, 2020 15:50 - 34 minutes - 32 MB

Until 1928 football players didn’t have #s on the back of their jerseys. When initially introduced, #s signaled where and what role the player plays on their team. Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday (then known as Wednesday Football Club) were the first two teams to field players wearing 1-11, with the lower numbers belonging to defensive-minded players and higher ones to offensive ones. In this show we're highlighting the Number 9: your poacher, your striker, your goalscorer. Join us to rem...

Diego Maradona = D10S (2 of 2)

October 27, 2019 08:53 - 16 minutes - 15.3 MB

The second part of the D10S series finds us discussing Diego Maradona’s club career. Beginning in Argentina, Maradona would embark on monumental journeys to Barcelona and Napoli, both on world record fees. Diego Maradona at Napoli was something you find in dreams. He waltzed by defenders. He scored audacious goals — free kicks, falling down chips, super calm penalties and slalom runs resulting with the ball rifled into the bottom corner. His status as Napoli’s greatest ever was cemented ...

A Walk With Legends: The Number 3️⃣

October 06, 2019 05:37 - 21 minutes - 19.7 MB

Paolo Maldini. Roberto Carlos. Ashley Cole. Bixente Lizarazu. Denis Irwin. Patrice Evra. What do all these legends have in common? They all played left back and wore the #3 jersey. Not only incredibly intelligent defenders with a keen sense for situational awareness, but they were also a genuine threat going forward in attack. As the game has evolved through the century, full backs (left or right) are asked to both defend and attack on the flanks. In fact, most of the all-time great lef...

Diego Maradona = D10S (1 of 2)

September 28, 2019 07:43 - 16 minutes - 15.3 MB

In football there are legends — heroes who transcend the sport and live forever in the hearts of supporters worldwide. And then there are gods.  Gods fly in rarefied air and singlehandedly change and shape the game. They are untouchable. A once in a lifetime presence and talent that alter how we comprehend what truly is possible. And it is this latter classification which finds us nestled within the aura of Diego Armando Maradona.  In the first part of our D10S series, we cover Maradona as...

The Science of Winning: An Interview with Professor Konstantinos Pelechrinis

August 17, 2019 14:04 - 23 minutes - 22 MB

Johan Cruyff used to insist that players only have the ball for ~ 3 minutes per game. So what makes a player great is what they do the other 87 minutes without the ball, walking/jogging/sprinting/zigzagging into space. While data analytics is not new to sports, it has largely been absent from the world’s most popular sport until the past 5-10 years. In this episode, we had the privilege of chatting with Kostas Pelechrinis, an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of...
