On the subject - how much appetite is there on bluesky for a kind of 'football/soccer analytics paper book club'? (idk how it would work, there's lots of ways it could, but the thoughts been floating in the back of my head for a while. My instinct would be to pitch it at 'approachable' level)

Sports Analytics meets Open Source

🔗 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓: impect.com 🔗 𝐏𝐲𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: tinyurl.com/pysport-impect A huge thanks to Stefan Reinartz, Jens Hegeler, and the entire IMPECT team for leading the way in supporting open-source sports analytics infrastructure!

tinyurl.com

PySport supports a community where everyone can become better in (applying) sports analytics. Everyone in the community shares the common passion: sports analytics. Sharing knowledge and teaching/lea

💬 Stefan Reinartz, Co-Founder of 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓: "With more professional clubs using open tools like Kloppy, it felt like the right moment to contribute to that ecosystem in a meaningful way."

100

This partnership model is standard in cloud and data infrastructure but remains rare in sports analytics. Together with 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓, we're pioneering a more collaborative approach to football data tooling.

110

⚡ The impact: Less time wrestling with data formats, more time generating insights that matter on the pitch - whether you're at a professional club, conducting research, or building applications.

100

🎯 What this means: - Native Kloppy support for @impect-official.bsky.social 's event data format is now in development. - The upcoming Kloppy release will be the "𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓-𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞". - Streamlined access to 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓 data through Kloppy.
