Media Release
Sports Wizard® the global leader in Applied Qualitative Analytics (AQA) today announced a major academic alignment with Cardiff Metropolitan University for exclusive rights in the UK and Europe to progress the application of Sports Wizard®’s unique programs to sports, clubs and students.
AQA is claimed to be the most significant breakthrough in high-performance sports analysis and measurement in the world for decades. AQA looks at areas such as how to control Momentum, Offensive and Defensive Transition Effectiveness, Decision-Making capabilities and application, and identifies, in advance, potential scoring opportunities and vulnerabilities.
“Sports Wizard® is very proud to be associated with a leading UK university in the sporting industry which is strategically placed to help connect the growing UK and European markets in key sports such as football, rugby, basketball and cricket” announced Tony Charge, Sports Wizard® CEO.
“Having operated from Australia where AQA was developed, a UK presence will enable us to
promote AQA into nations, sports and clubs where sport is a major part of life, as in Australia” Tony Charge continued.
“Sport is the international language of friendship and the wonderful atmosphere at the Iran v Iraq Asian Cup football game held in Canberra recently is a perfect example of this.”
“Formally entering this phase with Sports Wizard® is an exciting prospect for the Centre for
Performance Analysis at Cardiff School of Sport” said Darrell Cobner from Cardiff Met.
“This MOU represents an opportunity to learn, understand and apply new qualitative approaches to the area of performance analysis. We look forward to embedding principles into our practice and teaching, and to potentially creating new markets, roles and employability strands for Cardiff Met. Graduates.”
