FOOTBALL TEAM CHEMISTRY ANALYZER
The Football Team Chemistry Analyzer (FTCA) is an innovative tool that measures and enhances team chemistry through a series of carefully crafted psychometric tests based on real football scenarios, trade-offs, and in-game decision-making.
This model can also be seen as part of similarity scoring or a matching algorithm, which calculates a compatibility score based on how similar or congruent the responses are between two parties.

MOTIVATION
We lost 4-0 in front of our whole school. This defeat wasn't due to a lack of talent but because we failed to function as a cohesive unit. It became clear that in football, chemistry is often the invisible key to success, something that isn't always prioritized.

VISION
To create a universal language of teamwork, where understanding and enhancing human connection drives success in all areas of life. FTCA could be at the forefront of this movement, turning every team into a tightly-knit unit capable of extraordinary achievement, not just in sports but in every collaborative endeavor.

RESEARCH
I began with the academic groundwork by creating a Google form to identify the key parameters needed for the analyzer. This form was completed by more than 75 coaches and team captains from teams across India, providing critical insights that shaped the development of the tool. Accompanied by extensive research on team chemistry in professional leagues like MLB, NBA, EPL and the UCL; I determined four key parameters to measure team chemistry: Communication on the Field, Spatial Awareness, Adapting to Game Dynamics, Chemistry in Cohesion
