Then, while I was in New Zealand, Simon contacted me about a job that came up with England. I went to New Zealand to play rugby out there for the season. It was really good learning.Īfter university, I decided to go travelling.

I would work at Leicester Tigers under Simon and some other analysts, and then also when there was a game at Nottingham I would do that by myself. The way Leicester works is that, when you are an intern, you can also go and work for Nottingham as well. Obviously, I would learn the theory at uni and then go do the hands-on experience at Leicester. I was working a Leicester Tigers throughout my final year of university. He was unbelievable, one of the top in Performance Analysis in Rugby Union. When I was at Loughborough, the university had a mentorship programme at Leicester Tigers, so for my Performance Analysis module I would go work at Leicester Tigers with Simon Barbour, who was my first boss. I went to Loughborough University and ended up doing a Sport Science degree there.

I am from Northamptonshire, a small town called Corby. What made you want to become a Performance Analyst?
