Football Analyst to Hockey Olympic Champion! - Amber Luzar - Team GB Hockey - #15

My channel has yet to feature any mention of hockey and so that is why I was really keen to have this conversation with Amber! Amber started as a football analyst having played football too, and at that point knew absolutely nothing about hockey! It wasn't until she was ready for a new challenge (after a relegation with Reading FC) that she sent in her application for a hockey analyst position. Well, as they say, the rest is history. Not only does Amber know plenty about hockey these days, she was also at the Rio Olympics helping the GB Women's team secure a Gold medal! She has been able to travel the world with her job and is kind enough to share her experiences and also give some great advice for those looking to follow in a similar path. If you have any questions for myself or Amber, please do not hesitate to leave comment below. That being after you have liked the video and subscribed to the channel! Thanks for watching, and thanks again to Amber for taking the time out to join me! ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ 0:00 - Introduction 1:33 - Amber joins, university, intro to analysis 7:22 - Reading FC, starting unpaid... 11:55 - Being a female in male dominated sector 15:44 - Moving to Hockey 25:15 - The Olympics 31:31 - This years Common Wealth Games 32:21 - Progression at the EIS 34:46 - Average Week, Data & Coding Hockey 41:29 - Perception from players and player engagement 44:51 - What Amber loves about working in sport 46:50 - Advice for aspiring analysts... 50:22 - Interviewing for Jobs 55:37 - Books & Podcasts Amber is currently into ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ USEFUL LINKS 💻 Video Analysis Software - https://www.in-playsports.com/software/individuals ⚽️ Football Analysis Education (Use code Gill10 for 10% off) – https://apfa.io/course/ref/chrisgill_UK/ 📊 Get FREE sports data by learning web scraping – https://mckay-s-site.thinkific.com/?ref=3f7c5c FREE RESOURCES 📝 My downloadable CV Template – https://cvtemplate.chris-gill.com/download 📚 The ultimate list of sports analysis/coaching books - https://books.chris-gill.com/download MY OTHER SOCIALS 🌍 My Website – https://www.chris-gill.com 🆇 X/Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/chrisgill_UK 👨🏼‍💻 LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgilluk
