Really enjoyed the Symposium - congratulations for organising a very successful event.

There's some really interesting discussion about Talent and expertise at going on at the moment. One of really interesting distinctions people like Gladwell make when discussing outside his book is the significance not just of the evaluation of 'talent' but of the role the 'selectors' take. For example, its very easy for a general manager to draft a player with 'plenty of upside' because the fans can see that, and know that by the time the selection doesn't work out, its so long ago everyone has forgotten. Another favourite of mine is when teams throw out 3 years of stats and evaluations in competition because someone 'blew us away with their workout'.
My last question is: would teams be better off dumping their 'Scouting Departments' and just picking the players based on the ESPN website, BUT, spending all the scouting department money on making sure they had the absolute best 'teachers of young talent' they could buy?
actually it was boat trumpet. I have new phone and new melody composed by my other son :-).

If you could pass on Chris' contact details, I will forward them to one of the conference organisers to get in touch. Thanks,

The day after IACSS, there is a conference in Sydney aimed at the Young Statisticians branch of the Statistics Society of Australia and we are looking for one more keynote speaker. Previous talks that have been given on Sport related Statistics have been well received, so I thought it would be good if there is someone attending IACSS that would be interested in a trip to Sydney afterwards. We have funds to cover domestic flights, meals and accommodation.
If you could advertise this, or if you have anyone in mind, it would be helpful if you could put them onto me for further discussion. Thanks,
Karl
Delighted to be in touch, Darren.
