Rahul Kumar is a football writer and an aspiring performance analyst with a degree in English & Sports Science from Loughborough University. His work focuses on the intersection of tactics, data, and interpretation.
He has experience in performance analysis, sports research, and football media — including work with Olympic Gold Quest (OGQ) and Rounders England (BUCS), as well as writing for Thick Accent.
Through his platform, Rahul explores how the game can be understood beyond the obvious — where data informs, but does not define, football. His interests span football, F1 racing, volleyball, and tennis.
Depth of Field exists because most football writing doesn't go far enough. The matchday cycle produces opinion at volume but rarely produces argument with structure. This is an attempt to do the opposite — fewer pieces, more thought, and an invitation for the reader to question, challenge, and sit with the arguments long after they’ve been made.
No content for the sake of content. Just football understood on its own terms, written by someone who finds the game genuinely interesting rather than merely convenient.
Every piece is an argument. Every argument has structure. The work is published without haste and without compromise.
