Game IQ is a specialist individual performance analysis and development service designed to support ambitious footballers at every stage of their journey, from emerging academy players to semi-professional and professional environments. We combine elite-level data analysis, detailed video breakdown, and coach-led insight to help players better understand their game, sharpen decision-making, and accelerate long-term progression.
At its core, Game IQ exists to bridge the gap between raw performance data and meaningful football understanding. Modern football produces vast amounts of information, but without expert interpretation, that information rarely translates into improvement. Our role is to turn performance evidence into clear, actionable intelligence that players can immediately apply in matches and training.
Game IQ delivers a fully individualised approach to player development. Each analysis is centred on the specific demands of the player’s position, role within the team, and level of competition. We assess not just what a player does, but why decisions are made, how actions align with elite positional standards, and where marginal gains can be found within real match contexts. This ensures that development is relevant, realistic, and aligned with the modern game.
Our services extend well beyond post-match statistics. Players benefit from pre-match preparation and opposition insight, live in-game observational analysis where required, and comprehensive post-match audits that combine data, video, and tactical context. This layered approach provides a complete picture of performance rather than isolated snapshots. Over time, this allows players to track trends, understand consistency, and build sustainable improvement rather than chasing short-term outcomes.
Game IQ is founded by Andy Burgess, a UEFA A Licence coach and former professional footballer with over 400 senior appearances and extensive experience across professional academies and first-team environments. That background underpins everything we do. Our analysis reflects real coaching standards, professional expectations, and the realities of competitive football, not generic data outputs or automated reports. Players have direct access to expert guidance, ensuring clarity, accountability, and informed decision-making throughout their development journey
We operate with a player-centric philosophy. Game IQ works alongside clubs rather than against them, focusing exclusively on individual development without interfering with team tactics or coaching structures. Confidentiality, discretion, and trust are fundamental to our work, and every engagement is handled with professionalism and care. Where required, packages can be adapted to suit personal circumstances, competitive level, or access to footage, ensuring the service remains practical, ethical, and supportive.
Ultimately, Game IQ is for players who want more than feedback. It is for those who want understanding, structure, and a clear pathway to becoming a more complete footballer.
