The football season has kick-started and we have lot of analysts working behind the screen. These guys are the reason for data to be presented accurately. The number of miles ran by a particular player, the entire team and the speed per square feet and lot of more metrics are crunched every single min. How exciting this role could be` You evaluate the attributes of each player, the team and the entire pool of teams. At the training end, an individual player’s attribute data will gives clear insights on how the player is how we can improve further. Team managers decide on the position of the players based on their individual attributes. For example, Ronaldo’s strength is agility and speed. The manager will evaluate the speed of his legs with the ball and without the ball. This help him analyse whether we can be a wing-man or a center forward. So here is the big clue – not on who is going to win the world cup but on how these data is collected and how you can land yourself in one of the most attractive jobs.

These guys are typical data scientists supported by data analysts and some of the data processing and representation tools. So how does one become a data scientist and what are the job role available for data scientists. First and foremost thing of a data scientist is his knowledge in data science and data analysis tools. He or she would have completed their masters in big data analytics courses and would have done months of on the job project training. These people will also a good sense of anyone of the advanced programming language like python. This will help them get a hold onto the data processing at the backend of the tool.

Some of them even have a data analytics certification and through years of working as a data analysts will be qualified for the data scientist position. People who qualify through years of experience will have thorough understanding of the subject and would have faced different case scenarios. These things are a gift but you need a lot of patience in getting this happen. But nowadays, we do not have patience and straight away would need to become a data scientist. Patience is the virtue of life and we advise you to step into the world with a good grip which is gained through years of experience.

There is a lot of attraction towards this in the recent years but the sad thing is, it is known only to a bunch of folks who are into the industry. Others are still bidding their hopes on mainstream courses like engineering and other mechanical courses. This has led to a huge number of grads without any jobs. Students need to understand the evolving nature of the industry and study the one which will help them stay in trend in the next 20 years.
