Together with Corban’s outstanding faculty and dedicated staff, I heartily embrace the idea that Christians are to be salt and light in their culture. We are to make every difference possible for Jesus Christ. We are to do this not just by spreading the good news of the Gospel, but also by exerting a Christian influence in every sphere of life—including politics, the media, the arts and the academy. At Corban, we are committed to equipping a new generation to think critically and operate from our one central foundation, Jesus Christ. To provide a Christian higher education is to equip today’s students to approach, respond to and serve a world that’s in desperate need around us.

These statistics can have a large bearing and provide a lot of pressure on players as their every move can be analysed. Performance analysis in sport is a vital way of being able to track a team or individuals performance and more commonly used resource for player and team development. Discovering information such as this proves the importance of these types of analysis as with post competition video analysis a coach can reach a far more accurate analysis of the game leading to the ability to coach and correct the exact requirements of the team instead of their perceptions. A significant difference was found between winning and losing performances for different types of turnovers supporting current research that states that turnovers are not a valid predictor of match outcomes and that there is no specific type of turnover which can predict the outcome of a match as briefly mentioned in Curz and Tavares (1998).
