Gearing up for the FIFA world cup: Dr Grund talking about soccer networks
Dr Grund gives in this talk (held at the University of Cologne) insights about how the network structure in soccer teams comes about and how the structure of passes has an impact on the performance of teams. Dr Grund has already published several articles on this topic and is currently working on a new project which investigates the origins of interaction patterns in teams. #soccermatics
