In a remarkable tale of video game expertise translating to real-life success, Nathan Owolabi has played a pivotal role in Bromley’s historic promotion to the Football League for the first time in their 132-year history. As the Support Performance Analyst hired earlier this year, Owolabi brought his unique perspective and skills honed from playing Football Manager to the team.
Owolabi’s journey from gamer to analyst is a testament to the power of innovative thinking and the growing importance of data analysis in modern football. His experience playing Football Manager, a popular football simulation game, provided him with a deep understanding of tactics, player development, and team management. These skills, often considered unconventional in the football world, have now been proven to be highly valuable in a real-world setting.
