Bundesliga Match Facts powered by AWS | Shot Speed | Amazon Web Services

Have you ever wondered just how fast a shot from your favorite Bundesliga player travels? The newly introduced Bundesliga Match Fact (BMF) Shot Speed now allows fans insights into the incredible power and speed behind shots. Shot speed is more than just a number; it's a window into the awe-inspiring athleticism and skill of the Bundesliga players.

Spot Speed measures speed for shots that end up as goals, those that miss the target, hit the post, or get saved. To make sure the BMF is consistent, it does not include headers or shots that get blocked. These can get a bit tricky due to deflections.

Let's break down how the data collection is used to calculate shot speed:

1. Extracting shot trajectory: After recording the event and tracking the ball's movement, the BMF extracts the trajectory of the shot. This means it maps out the path the ball takes from the moment it leaves the player's foot.

2. Smoothing velocity curve: Although the data is detailed, it can sometimes have tiny variations due to factors like camera sensitivity. To ensure accuracy, the team uses algorithms to smooth out the velocity curve. This removes any minor bumps or irregularities in the data to get a more reliable speed measurement.

3. Calculating maximum speed: With a clean velocity curve in hand, the BMF then calculates the maximum speed the ball reaches during its flight. This is the key number that represents the shot's speed and power.
