'Goals are up, but so are the proportion of matches that are drawn, with those won by two or more in decline. Teams are slugging it out, back and forth. You attack, we counter, and everyone runs further as a result.' On the data from the first five weeks:

🗣️Régis Le Bris on influencing players from the touchline (2022) ⬇️

Quote from Regis Le Bris "On a football pitch, it's an illusion to think we are directing the player. We disturb them...potentially. But we don't direct them. You can prevent them from being what they are, what they should be in relation to their singularity. But you can't direct them. It's not possible. You can disturb them. I've seen myself talk to a player whilst they had the ball and regret it. In fact, I made the choice in their place. I've reached nearly 20 years of coaching now so...you need to leave room for educators to make mistakes, let's not forget. That is to say, that we must also live our own experiences. I've had a lot of experience influencing players, ball carriers, for example, and it may have worked sometimes but in the end it doesn't work. It's just a disturbance. The Spanish say that you should never speak to the ball carrier. Because they're in such a flow of information, so immersed in what they must accomplish, to solve, that if you just come and impact with your voice, you're just disturbing. Leave them..."

Quarto 2 will be 100 times faster than the current edition. You can try an early beta, but as of now it only does HTML output and can't run code yet. It'll be "about a year of work" before Posit advises users to move to Q2, @cscheid.net told #PositConf2026. github.com/quarto-dev/q2 #QuartoPub
