Head of Video Analysis - Working in the MLS - Sam Green (LA Galaxy) #17

In this video I chat with Sam Green who is the current Head of Video Analysis at MLS side, LA Galaxy. Originally from the UK, Sam actually went to the same university as me (Sheffield Hallam) and spent time working in various clubs in the UK before initially moving to Toronto FC. We speak about the North American culture of data analytics in sport, what Sam gets up to in his role and what it was like making the move from the UK. Thanks again to Sam for taking part.
