There's a big 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 in athletics... As most reports have sports labeled as a $512B industry, but... 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝟰 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀: • $150B soccer market • $100B golf market • $100B betting market • $55B youth sports market By just labeling a few areas you can see that the "𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘪𝘯'𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨". SPORTS has to be well into the TRILLIONS in terms of market size. ─── 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐋𝐄𝐌: It's extremely hard to calculate all of the verticals, get good data, and navigate through the nuance. On top of that...there are plenty of gray areas (and the potential for error as sectors crossover leading to "double dipping"). ─── 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 💡 A college student should take on this project... and if you can come up with sophisticated numbers with sources I'll give you an internship for the whole summer. To everyone else...I'll also share the results in the Profluence newsletter once I receive them and verify it: https://lnkd.in/e2T--8tT

Research Wednesday Dive!! We’re excited to spotlight Carles Safont Aparicio, who joined our course in 2022. During his studies, Carles gained invaluable experience working with Shamrock Rovers F.C. before securing an internship role at FC Midtjylland. His impressive journey didn’t stop there—Carles has since taken on the position of 1st Team Set Piece Analyst at Manchester City Football Club. For his research project, Carles undertook a detailed analysis of 1,923 corner kicks from the 2022/2023 Danish Superliga season, revealing key insights into offensive and defensive strategies. With an average of 10 corners per game, his findings showed that while 28% of corners led to shots, only 3.48% resulted in goals. His in-depth breakdown showed that inswing deliveries, used in 58.6% of all corners, were by far the most effective, contributing to an impressive 68.66% of goals scored from set pieces. One of the most interesting findings was that corners delivered to central zones, particularly Zone 3, located directly in front of the goal, had the highest success rate, with a 6.04% goal conversion rate—far surpassing other target areas. His research highlights the importance of strategic placement and delivery in maximising set-piece opportunities, especially with inswing deliveries to this central area proving tactically advantageous. Despite these offensive insights, turnovers still occurred 35.21% of the time, highlighting the importance of defensive setups. Carles’ research demonstrates how even minor tactical adjustments, like targeting the most effective zones or delivery types, can make a significant impact on performance. Join us in congratulating Carles on his journey and the fantastic contributions he's making in the world of performance analysis!

I've had the chance to work with some incredible female founders... And now I get to work under the guidance of Laura Davies and Sarah Andrews as a content strategy intern for Mumie! One thing I've learned from working in marketing is that I need to be invested in the company's mission and values. Which is exactly what I saw in Mumie. ✨It's an app for new mums to help them navigate their postnatal journey. ✨It serves to inform and empower mums in their recovery. ✨It is a community for mums so that they feel seen, heard, and never alone. ✨It provides the right help and support for early postnatal women and for women up to 2 years into their journey. ✨It resonates with the challenges, emotions, and experiences that postnatal women deal with. And why do I feel so invested in this mission? I'm not a mother myself, but my mother had to go through all of this and I have friends who have been through childbirth. Plus, the facts are startling: ➡️More than 1/3 of women experience lasting health problems after birth (Lancet 2023). ➡️Between 2019-2021 over 300 women died within 12 months after pregnancy (MBBRACE 2023). ➡️Postnatal support focuses on the health and wellbeing of the baby, often excluding the mother (DHSC 2022). Internships are all about learning new skill sets, but it's also about opening yourself up to others' experiences. I know so many female founders who also juggle being a mother and this is my opportunity to be able to truly understand and empathise with their stories. #newinternship #femalefounders #motherhood
