The pitch proposal presentation in week 4 is a way for my peers and lecturers to provide feedback about my dissertation topic and give me direction, ensuring I am on track. Our dissertation proposal must have a clear dissertation topic, research and a plan of how we plan on structuring it.

With our proposal presentation, we must hand in a critical bibliography with atleast 5 research references to support our ideas.

Proposal Feedback

After my Dissertation Proposal Presentation, the main feedback I received was:

• Due to artificial intelligence being used in football analytics still being very up and coming, I could focus parts of my dissertation on the right now and how teams currently use it and how some teams have better access of the technology than others. Then take a look at how it may look into the future when there is more technical advancements and money invested into it.
• One suggestion was to potentially conduct some user interviews or a survey as AI analysis is still up and coming and it can take time to write papers where as it could be good to talk to people who it is impacting now through either interviews or surveys.
• I could also look at case studies for how it is currently being used and the effect of these experiments on teams

I was quite disappointed in how my proposal presentation went as I had put a lot of preparation into it but due external factors on the day, I ended up feeling quite panicked and unsettled before presenting causing me to trip up on my words and not present it to my full potential

However I think I was able to present the overall idea well and get across my aims for my dissertation and reasonings behind why I had chose this topic. I also received some really good feedback which I can apply going forward.

Defining The Structure

After the proposal presentation and the feedback, I decided to relook over my dissertation structure. I want to keep the original structure I had but rethink the content I will be including within the 3 main sections and make it more defined before I start writing my dissertation.

Current Outline:

• Introduction (500 words)
