Rezensionen

"As someone who shares with the author a lifelong interest in sports in general and soccer in particular I fully agree with the authors' premise of writing this book. The organization of chapters around picking up specific skills is useful. The provision of R scripts and data (through a Github page associated with the book) is
welcome and will encourage readers to delve into their own analytics. I believe that this book overall successfully covers its targeted niche."
