5 Questions @mathieufeig


The pursuit of wisdom in any walk of life quickly reveals that what you think you know is not nearly enough to get you to where you want to go. As I'm starting out in my football journey I challenged myself to reach out to those already working in various roles in football to answer a short list of questions. My goal wasn't to get answers but relevant perspectives on the game within the game.

Here is Mathieufeig:

What is your first memory of football?

My first memory is the final of the World Cup 2006 France against Italy.

What is the biggest misconception/cliche you’ve found in this space?

Probably all the misunderstanding about the meaning of lot of statistics.

If you could start over what skill/perspective would you build on first?

I would love to develop skill about statistics and programming (Python).

What three (3) football icons would you want to have a meal with? Why?

Zinedine Zidane to talk about football performance in general.

Pep Guardiola to talk about tactics.

William Spearman to talk about data science.

What is your favorite quote or saying?

« Pounding the rock » Greg Popovich
