LESSONS FROM ANALYSIS
The LGFA Player Development Programme (PDP) is well underway.
Football analyst Glen Kelly provided a range of interesting analysis
from our 2022 Under 17 Player Development Programme National
Festival Day. @SportsAnalysisGK
The below analysis was based on ten 20 minute games (200 minutes
of football) that took place at the 2022 U17 PDP Festival Day.
THE DATA SUGGESTS THAT AN
AVERAGE 20 MINUTE GAME
WILL SEE AN AVERAGE OF 23
TURNOVERS.
THUS, A 60 MINUTE GAME
WILL AMOUNT TO 66
TURNOVERS PER GAME.
U17 = 66 TURNOVERS PER GAME
