Promotion from league one and scouting new players - Jacob Blain #49

The guest for this video is Jacob Blain. Jacob has been at Carlisle United for over 4 years and in that time has transitioned from first team analyst, to recruitment analyst. We speak about the differences between these roles, Jacobs experience at Wembley, winning promotion via the play-offs and much more. It was great to hear from an analyst that had real constraints from a smaller budget and department. Jacob even explains how, as a Carlisle fan anyway, he was going to watch a game, and ended up meeting the manager afterwards to get his job! 0:00 - Introduction 2:42 - Jacob joins and gives overview, placements, getting started 10:31 - The role of academy analyst 19:40 - Coaching 23:19 - Joining Carlisle United 29:12 - Average week for a solo analyst 33:01 - Pre-match presentations & set pieces 38:30 - Promotion via the play-offs, Wembley 47:00 - Shifting over to recruitment 56:40 - Advice for new analysts, book recommendations Other relevant Episodes mentioned: Matty Owen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9EB0iuqHy4 Phill Hudson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ2tlAmhmaU Books Jacob mentions: Net Gains: https://amzn.to/3JoiS8d The Nowhere Men: https://amzn.to/3VE6qZb Matty owen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9EB0iuqHy4 Phil Hudson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ2tlAmhmaU ◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️◽️ 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
