Advanced sports analysis: turn observations into a testable argument

Practice pathway
1. Testable question: ____________________
2. Defined sample: ____________________
3. Sequence log: ____________________
4. Consistent comparison: ____________________
5. Counterexample: ____________________
6. Limited conclusion: ____________________

Worked example
Fictional sample: five box entries before a change and eight after. Log observed minutes, opponent, score and the definition of an entry. The increase is 60%, but this alone does not explain a tactical improvement. Look for a sequence that challenges your hypothesis.
