A lifetime of analysis, feedback, and individual development in sport 🔎 📈

Nine months ago, EIP Founder Connor Fewster was a university lecturer in sports science.

Teaching, explaining, feeding back, and improving performance in an academic sporting context.

Understanding and development were personal. Progress markers were explicit. The development pathway was linear. And it was effective.

But the way this cycle played out in professional sport seemed contradictory. Communications silos, slow feedback, lacking individual specificity, and little accessibility in who analysis was available to.

Then came the brainstorming. The planning. Validating the idea with those who had been in the middle of some of football's biggest moments. Long conversations with Daniel Robathan, who came on board to put ideas into practice in a way best suited to elite referees.

And now, nine months later, we're here, working to improve referee feedback and analysis, and strengthen performance in the moments that football never forgets.

I thought I was fit.....

During filming a few weeks ago Dan took me through an example session he would do to ensure he could stay at the peak of his performance during his time as an assistant referee.

Naturally I thought this would be fine, during my time within sport I had ran many high intensity sessions.

Nothing like this though! The intensity and volume really got a hold of me and safe to say which one of us struggled and which one got the best camera shots.....

Hats off to all match officials out there that are putting in these hard yards weekly.

Genuine athletes.

Some would say I have a face for radio!

Yesterday myself and @danrobathan got in front of the camera to film all things @eip_referee. We went from what it is like to actually referee in the @premierleague to running in the rain.

Thank you to @thenestcsf for their hospitality and access to their top class facilities and also @alexwaters.media for making the long journey from the North East.

The closest official is not always the one who sees the challenge most clearly.

For decades the Diagonal System of Control has prioritised a side-on line over pure proximity. The reason is simple: the same distance can hide or reveal contact and body position depending on the angle you hold.

Research on match officials has examined both distance and viewing angle in real games and controlled settings.

What consistently matters is whether the contact zone itself is visible. That is why positioning theory continues to stress staying out of passing lanes and holding a lateral view rather than simply closing the gap.

When you can review your own clips against that principle, the abstract advice becomes concrete. You see the angle you actually held, the information that was available, and the adjustments that open a clearer picture next time.

That is the kind of individualised feedback Evidence Informed Performance was built to deliver.

If you develop officials and want to explore how this works in practice, drop a comment or send a message. by @eip_referee

“Hey EIP, how did I do on my free kick decisions last game?”

That’s roughly how we think feedback should work. Ask, and get the answer back with the clips already attached.

Here’s the phase of play behind it. A team loses the ball in a dangerous area and presses immediately to win it back. The player closing down is frustrated, and frustration changes how a challenge gets made, not how it gets judged. The Laws don’t ask why someone went in. They ask what was disregarded and how much force was used.

Which is why what happens next is on the player, not the official. A late, committed recovery challenge is a choice someone makes. It also happens to be the exact moment an official is most likely arriving off balance, from an angle they didn’t choose, with a body already between them and the incident.

That’s the part we can help with. We show an official, from their own matches, where they tend to be standing when a turnover turns into a foul, and what a better starting position would have given them to work with. Then their peers and their coach look at the same clip and start building anticipation: not just what happened, but what usually happens two seconds after a turnover in that part of the pitch, and where to be for it.

Ask again in a month. The feedback and the clips come straight back.

25.9 metres. Behind the play. No assistant on that side.

A ball into the channel beats everybody, including the referee.

Quansah turns and goes. Gallardo is running onto it. The referee finishes the phase behind it, 25.9m from a challenge that will be judged on height, studs and force.

Play waved on.

The easy answer is “too far away.” The research doesn’t back it. Distance predicts far less than people assume, and the biggest study of all found no effect for viewing angle whatsoever.

What does predict it is line of sight.

Clear view of the contact: 86% correct.
Obstructed view: 27%.

Nothing else we measure moves the number like that.

And those figures exist because two expert referees hand-scored the clips afterwards, one by one. Which is why officials get told how the decision went, and almost never what they were working with when they made it.

Then VAR checks, serious foul play is identified, and he’s called to the monitor, where he finally gets the view the play never gave him.

The review process gets a second look. The official’s development should too.

Sightline, distance and obstruction are all computable. We hand it back in seconds.

30.8 metres. 12.7 degrees. One England defender in the way ✋

That’s what the referee had to work with when Ezri Konsa put in a controversial challenge in England’s World Cup fixture against Ghana.

Konsa and Adu are both travelling at 30 km/h. The assistant referee is closer than the referee at 24.4m away with a clear line of view, but he’s sprinting to stay level with play ⚡️

Some decisions are difficult because of the decision. Some are difficult because of where you’re standing.

#referee #football #worldcup #reftech #sportstech

counter attack doesn’t just beat the defence, but also the referee’s position. Nothing about being 30.8m away here is poor positioning. The speed of the phase of play put him there.

➡️ Distance to incident: 30.8m
➡️ Viewing angle: 12.7°
➡️ Line of sight: obstructed
➡️ Closing speed: 30 km/h

This is the statistical reality of refereeing the big moments. We spend a lot of time talking about decisions, but almost none talking about the conditions they were made in.

The assistant referee was 24.4 metres away with a clear view. But he was still moving at speed. Still at an angle where winning the ball and taking the man look almost identical in real time 👁️

Two officials. One challenge. Neither doing anything wrong, but neither getting the view that we get on TV.

When the conditions are hard - and when VAR doesn’t step in - referee support has to start with post-match feedback and review. EIP delivers that in minutes.
