Has anyone seen a decent form for tracking soccer shots? I'm sure something exists, I've just never seen anything. I'm thinking I want to track not just where shots are taken, but how it missed or was saved or scored.
Should headers be tracked differently?
Is it important to note where a pass or cross came from? Or that a shot came from a direct kick or corner?
Below is an example. Here's the legend:
- Black circle: score
- Circle with X: save
- Circle R: shot missed right
- Circle L: shot missed left
- Circle H: shot missed high
- Black Square: header score
- Square with X: header save
- Square R: header missed right
- Square L: header missed left
- Square H: header missed high
Results:
- 1 shot scored
- 1 header scored
- 1 shot saved
- 1 header saved
- 2 shots missed left
- 1 shot missed right
- 1 shot missed high
- 1 header missed left
- 1 header missed right
- 1 header missed high

At first I thought all that was some secret cheat code for a PS2 Soccer game
ReplyDelete(nope, the two cheat codes listed are ----> LEFT,UP,UP,RIGHT,DOWN,DOWN,RIGHT,DOWN Unlock All Venues, and Hold L1 + Triangle and press Left, Up, Up, Right, Down, Down, Right, Down All locations)
Also, the diagram of the pitch would fit better if you rotate it 90 degrees
ReplyDeleteGuess I should have said helpful comments requested.
ReplyDeleteSorry, don't play the sport, or watch often, I don't see shot charting in Hockey either the way you do in Basketball, so maybe there's a reason coaches in Hockey and Soccer don't bother with that sort of detail.
ReplyDelete(though it's definitely a useful way to evaluate player and team performance in Basketball)
Glad I could help you hone your requests for comments though, experience is the best teacher.
(bet you won't make that mistake again in the future)
