Methodology/Approach - Regression analysis is applied to several factors relating to the performance of a football player. The datasets used in analysis consists of 37 different players belonging to various clubs in the English Premier League. Reversal theory is used to understand the motivation and performance of a player.

Findings - Results reveal that every factor/variables affects the performance of a player differently both in direction and magnitude.

Originality/Value - The novel element of this study is the use of press releases/press reports as one of the independent factors/variables that can affect the performance of a football player.
