Sounds like fun, if I could take 3 months off! (if it was for the two weeks of the Championships, I'd have been sorely tempted!)

This is LTA jobs, not Wimbledon jobs, and absolutely nothing against the young woman in question but what the dickens is a 'talent scientist'?

When we did careers advice at school, I'm absolutely sure 'talent scientist' wasn't on the list (mind you, neither were a lot of other things)

But I see that as part of the LTA delegation over in Switzerland for the junior championships, the LTA have taken one graduate from Exeter who lists herself as a 'talent scientist for British Tennis'.

The page has now been removed so I can't see the context, but a Talent Scientist is usually a Data Scientist that specialises in analyses of recruitment and employee data. I could see in the context of tennis you could extend that to deep analysis of your players' data.

OK, fair enough.

But wouldn't that person be a graduate in data science? Machine learning? Computer science?

She's got a Masters in Sport and Exercise (!)

OK, maybe I'm being old-fashioned and feeling grumpy ... you may well be right.....smile

LOL my wife (who's an electrical engineer who does a lot of work in the first two areas you mention and definitely isn't old-fashioned by any stretch of the imagination) asked much the same question just a few days ago. I'm inclined to agree with you and her that if you want that kind of analysis done really well, sport doesn't really have that much to do with it and you need someone who's a proper specialist in the areas in question.
