1. A Partial History of Performance Analysis Keith Lyons 12 February 2018
2. Background • A partial story of 150 years of endeavour. • A move from hand notation to computerised coding. • Real-time activities. • Technologies that permit lapsed-time analysis. • A move from personal practice to artificial intelligence.
3. Performance Analysis as a disciplined insight Systematic observation Permanent record of performance Enables an analysis of performance Provides quantitative and qualitative augmented information to an audience

10. Ideographic notation Symbols as “a more-or-less renderings of some concrete item”. Methods that “highlight the unique elements of the individual phenomenon - the historically particular”.
11. Ideographic and idiographic Not until we are prepared to dwell upon the unique patterning of personality, and to concede that lawfulness need not be synonymous with frequency of occurrence in a population, and to admit that prediction, understanding, and control are scientific goals attainable in the handling of one case and of one case alone - not until then are we in a position to assess the full value of personal documents. Gordon Allport (1942)

19. A ball player who has served on a championship baseball club for seven seasons and a reporter who has followed the fortunes of winning and losing teams for twenty years decided to pool their knowledge of the game and its players and produce a book. They agreed that past generations of ball players and reporters have left only garbled traditions and scattered fragments of their knowledge of the game and that the science of baseball, as understood now, should be preserved in some way for future generations to use or to improve upon. Johnny Evers and Hugh Fullerton (1910)
