Understanding the model and its assumptions is crucial for effective communication and decision-making. Involving domain experts, such as scouts and coaches, can provide valuable insights and improve the model's relevance and usefulness. Customizing the model to align with the specific needs and questions of the stakeholders is essential for successful implementation. Understanding the needs of decision-makers is crucial for effectively communicating and utilizing models in sports analytics. Predicting the impact of training loads on athletes' well-being and performance is a challenging frontier in sports analytics. Identifying discrete events in team sports data is essential for analysis and development of models.
