Microsoft PowerBI and Tableau are business development tools that can take data analysis and visualisation to another level.
One of the most common questions I get asked by sports science practitioner is 'What data analysis tool should I learn?'. Currently, there's a notable surge in interest in data viz tools such as Microsoft PowerBI and Tableau among sports scientists looking to enhance their data science skills.
PowerBI in particular appears to offer a middle ground between the constraints of Microsoft Excel, which is often pushed to its limits in sports science applications, and the intricate programming languages of computer science, such as R and Python.
Based on their own experiences of trying to self-learn such tools, Ciaran Deeley and Johannes Marthinussen created Sport Horizon, a dedicated place for learning specifically about data modelling, cleaning, analysis and visualisation for sport. Together, we discussed the state of data analysis in sports science, and shared a demonstration of Microsoft Power BI on the Global Performance Insights YouTube channel.
