Análisis de fútbol aplicado - Mirando a los casos reales
Este curso explora cómo se aplica la analítica del fútbol en entornos profesionales reales, pasando de la teoría a la práctica en el análisis del rendimiento, el scouting, la estrategia de club y los medios de comunicación. Los alumnos seguirán los flujos de trabajo utilizados por analistas de élite, desde la preparación previa al partido y la evaluación en directo hasta el informe posterior, y comprenderán cómo los clubes construyen procesos basados en datos para apoyar decisiones deportivas. A través de estudios de caso, el curso analiza cómo se diseñan bases de datos de scouting, cómo se construyen métricas clave y sistemas de clasificación, y cómo los clubes integran evaluaciones cualitativas con modelos avanzados como xG, xT, packing, clustering y sistemas de puntuación ponderada. Los alumnos también estudiarán cómo los clubes evalúan el rendimiento mediante Expected Points, simulaciones Monte Carlo, análisis por fases de juego, modelos de balón parado, planificación de plantilla, curvas de edad y evaluación contractual. Por último, el curso aborda cómo la analítica influye en los medios, desde gráficos radar hasta superposiciones en directo, y la psicología detrás de los datos, ayudando a identificar interpretaciones erróneas y construir argumentos más sólidos. Al finalizar, los alumnos comprenderán cómo la analítica apoya la táctica, el reclutamiento, la predicción y la narrativa en el ecosistema futbolístico.

By asking the right questions and identifying the true causes of objections, you will be able to develop a unique advantage in any negotiation. You will also be working on the creation of an objection resolution matrix, the tool you need to link objections with personalized and trust building responses. You are required to have basic negotiation experience, familiarity with client-facing sales conversations, and comfort asking probing questions. It is a way for you to apply the knowledge you acquire directly into the real world.

Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL
Welcome to this project-based course, Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL. In this project, you will learn how to use SQL regular expressions extensively for pattern matching to query tables in a database. By the end of this 2-and-a-half-hour-long project, you will be able to use POSIX regular expressions together with meta (special) characters in the WHERE clause and the SELECT clause to retrieve the desired result from a database. In this project, we will move systematically by first revising the use of the LIKE and NOT LIKE operators in the WHERE clause. Then, we will use different regular expression metacharacters together with POSIX operators in the WHERE clause. Also, we will use regular expressions to work on tweets from Twitter data. Be assured that you will get your hands really dirty in this project because you will get to work on a lot of exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the concepts. Also, for this hands-on project, we will use PostgreSQL as our preferred database management system (DBMS). Therefore, to complete this project, it is required that you have prior experience with using PostgreSQL. Similarly, this project is an intermediate SQL concept; so, a good foundation for writing SQL queries is vital to complete this project. If you are not familiar with writing queries in SQL and want to learn these concepts, start with my previous guided projects titled “Querying Databases using SQL SELECT statement." I taught this guided project using PostgreSQL. So, taking these projects will give the needed requisite to complete this Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL project. However, if you are comfortable writing queries in PostgreSQL, please join me on this wonderful ride! Let’s get our hands dirty!

We will look at the stages of exploration and how the science changes at each point. Next, we will meet Dr. Kristy Tiampo as we discuss Space Exploration-Viewing There. We will dive deep into remote sensing work around Earth and how that technique of viewing can be applied throughout the cosmos. Week 4 - This week, we will discuss some of the great science being conducted in the cosmos as well as our species search life elsewhere in the universe. We have three lessons this week. The first two are in two parts. Extending Science Beyond Earth. In Part 1, we meet Dr. Nick Schneider and discuss how the different wavelengths of light have allowed us to understand other planets like Mars but also Earth. In Part 2, we meet Dr. Dave Brain and discuss what we have learned about other planets in our solar system and compare those discoveries with our home planet. We will end with the Search for Life Elsewhere where our guest, Dr. Bruce Jakosky, and I discuss what is needed for life in the cosmos and where we might find it. In these lessons, you will become a member of the crew of the USS Pathway to Space and together we will make the unknown, known. Your journey to discovering your pathway to space begins now.
