Reliable maximum speed data at scale
Peak Velocity finally provides scouts and decision-makers with a genuine measurement of a player's maximum speed.
No more proxies. No more asterisks.
Just a reliable, easily communicated metric with strong correlation to ground truth.

We spoke to co-founders Charles Montmaneix and Hugo Bordigoni to tell the story of how a student project became a business trusted by elite teams in world sport.
From kitchen-table conversations to our first big break through to expansion into multiple sports, it's been a decade of innovation and growth powered by our global team.

We used @SkillCorner data to search South America for the 'next Jhon Durรกn' - an uncut gem with a physical capacity beyond their age.
Including the Premier League and MLS for comparison, 2004-born Catriel Cabellos ranked first out of 683 datapoints for High Intensity Actions.
Some fella @MickRathbone

What a ride. Thank you everybody @RotherhamUnited for everything over these last three years. I have met so many incredible players and staff and made memories that will stay with me for life. I want to say a special thank you to the fans who have been so supportive since my very first day, I always gave when I pulled on that shirt. Thank you for the memories, Ollie โค๏ธ

Great to chat @chrisgill_UK ๐
Analyst work/life balance, telestrations and tracking data...
Here's a little teaser for my next video with @C_Inness ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Craig began his journey as an analyst intern (and actually followed a similar path to me). After bagging himself a first team analyst role, and spending time working in the Premier League, he decided to leave.
Why?
Good question, and that I definitely asked Craig to expand on.
Since his time as an analyst, Craig has worked in the sports tech space and is currently with @SkillCorner.
These guys have been mentioned in a few previous episodes so it was great to learn more about the data they provide, and see a great example of how clubs might use this in a recruitment setting.
Full video out next week.
(It's a good one)
Thanks Craig, it was great to chat ๐๐ผ

Moving to MLS is now a popular next step for emerging talent before jumping to elite-level Europe โ and new roster rules will draw even more to a growing league.
We've picked out markets and prospects using @SkillCorner data that should be of interest to MLS teams this summer.
