Upcoming Masterclasses for Analytics Members

Written by

Training Ground Guru + Twelve

October 22, 2025

Our upcoming Masterclasses for TGG x Twelve Analytics Members include sessions with Professor David Sumpter and Vosse de Boode, the Director of Data and Insights at AusCycling.

The idea of our Masterclasses is to offer in-depth learning and insights on themes that will help you get a role in an analytics team within professional football – or to enhance your knowledge and expertise if you already have one.

They are interactive, meaning you can ask questions during the session itself or in our dedicated Slack channel afterwards.
