​​​"At London Irish we are always striving to find a competitive edge, and recognise the CPA as front runners for innovative and efficient analysis solutions. Spending time with Darrell and Adam opened my ey​es to new, powerful ways of improving my workflow and analytical output."

Richard Whiffin, Rugby Analyst, London Irish RFC

"Hull City have agreed a Paid Professional Placement scheme exclusively with the CPA. Due to the expertise at the CPA we felt they would be the best placed organisation to align our progressive performance analysis department with. We have been delighted with the initial impact the UWIC MSc students have had; from the outset their knowledge-base and software competency has been very pleasing and exceeded our expectations. From this strong starting point, we look forward to exploring and developing their capabilities as performance analysts to the benefit of both the club and the individuals."

Laurence Stewart, Performance Analyst, Hull City FC​

"During the Churchill Cup and Rugby World Cup 2011, the CPA facilitated Performance Analysis through a current UWIC MSc student. As a product of his education, Jarrad demonstrated capability in the role, utilising efficient workflows independently, under pressure in tournament mode. The intervention has increased the coaches and players awareness and use of Performance Analysis in a critical phase of World Cup preparation.

We would not hesitate to use them as a resource in the future and explore their diverse portfolio of services and CPD they offer."

Dave Hodges, Assistant National team coach, USA Rugby

"We utilised the CPA to capitalise on their specialist skills in performance analysis during the Women's Rugby World Cup 2010. They demonstrated great knowledge of the requirements of team performance and understanding of the analytical process to provide evidence-based decisions. The level of service was world-class, assisted the coaching process and impacted performance on and off the field.

The CPA clearly represent the performance analysis industry in a simple and effective manner, and systematically prepare vocationally alert practitioners to interpret and resource coach demands".
