In this activity, students will step into the role of a Performance Analyst. Students will work collaboratively in groups to analyse a football team’s performance over the past six games using provided data sets, which include match scores, corners, shots, and win-loss records. They will construct a range of charts to enhance their skills in data interpretation and visualisation. By completing and interpreting the data, students will use this information to develop a strategic plan aimed at supporting the team in improving their performance.
