Goodhart's law is an important concept for coaches and analysts to keep in mind to maintain an edge when technology, data, and analytics are so pervasive in today's game. Simply following the current trends in the tech and data space may lead coaches, players, and organizations to misuse their analytics departments resulting in players underperforming on the field given the underlying data analysis. In this episode, we discuss the limitations we currently see with chasing metrics and how using an ecological approach can allow you to better harness analytics for your player development and on-field performance.
