Dr. Ming-Chang Tsai is a Performance & Data Scientist, the lead for Biomechanics & Performance Analysis at CSI-Pacific, and lead for the Performance Sciences – Data Science/Engineering at OTP High Performance Advisory Council. Ming has an undergraduate degree in Engineering Science, a Master’s degree in aerospace engineering, and a PhD in exercise physiology. As a former elite athlete who is passionate about high performance sports, he finds it extremely exciting to be involved with the national team again and contribute in a different way. With the knowledge Ming gained through being an athlete and a researcher, it has enabled him to bring an evidence-based approach to his coaching that has produced success in elite athletes he has trained.

Ming’s unique combination of technical and physiology knowledge and experience in high performance sport as an athlete and a coach aids him in assisting NSOs (HPDs, coaches, and practitioners) in incorporating sport analytics as one of the most important performance/game decision making tool.
