Analysis of the Use of Statistical Data in the Formulation of Strategies, Tactics and Evaluation of Football Matches

Abstract

This study discussed the use of statistical data in the formulation of strategy, tactics, and evaluation in football matches. This study aimed at describing the use of statistical data in the formulation of strategies, tactics, and evaluations in football matches. A descriptive method was used in this research. The subject of this study were 23 licensed football coaches in Sleman. Sampling in this study using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used in this study was a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used in this study was descriptive statistics. The results showed that the use of statistical data was not optimal due to the absence of tools, the coaches believed more in their intuition when making decisions of tactics, and statistical data was not familiar to many coaches. In determining strategies, tactics, and evaluating matches, the coaches are still limited to using handwritten media. The use of media notes in the form of writing shows that the tools for recording football statistical data have not been able to reach the coaches so that the use of statistical data has not been optimal.
