My placement was at Brentford FC where I worked as an analyst in both the First and B Teams. For the First Team, I worked predominantly in the pre-match process, creating bespoke opposition reports and analysing opposition from a more data focussed point of view. In the B Team I aided the full-time analyst with his tasks and provided analysis for the team.

This role gave me the opportunity to work in an environment where there was serious pressure and high demands. As a part of this environment, I had to manage multiple workloads and my relationship with staff of varying seniority, while maintaining high standards in all the work that I completed.

Working in the Premier League exposed me to an abundance of potentially useful data and information, which taught me how to find the most important messages in that data and communicate them effectively.
