Alec Scott joined Liverpool's backroom team as an assistant performance analyst on an internship role in August 2010.
The Liverpool John Moores University student works closely with the club's head of performance analysis Andy Scoulding, analysing future opposition and our own performances.
Alec also assists head of fitness and conditioning Darren Burgess with match fitness data.
"My role in the performance department is to assist in analysing the team's performances in matches as well as help inform the coaches to prepare the team for future opposition to find strengths and weaknesses, specifically looking at opponent team's set pieces," he explained.
Alec, who completed a three-year science and football degree course at John Moores and gained experience at Everton and Tranmere's academies, believes the use of performance analysis can be beneficial to the team's success.
He said: "I think performance analysis can help hugely. There is a lot of hard work that goes into each match in trying to prepare the players in the best possible way. Our part is to produce reports on the opposition and cover every possible detail we can to help give the players an advantage in a match.
"You try to give the coaches and players as much information as possible so that when they go on to the pitch, they're aware of the opposition's key players, their tactical strengths and weaknesses."
He added: "It's an amazing feeling when you walk through the doors at Melwood and see the quote on the wall by Bill Shankly and the European Cup in the hallway. It is that constant reminder of the ambition and desire the club has for success that has made it one of the best clubs in world."
