About NWSL Notebook
NWSL Notebook helps you explore NWSL match data by asking questions in plain English.
How to use it#
- Ask a question in the chat (left side).
- Review the answer on the canvas (right side) as cards (tables, charts, and notes).
- Follow up to refine: change the season, add a minutes minimum, filter to a team, or request a different view.
Example questions to try#
Top 10 scorers this season (minimum 600 minutes)
Compare Trinity Rodman vs Sophia Smith across goals, xG, and xA
Which teams create the most chances per match in 2024? Make it a bar chart.

Tips for getting better answers#
- Be specific about time: “in 2024”, “last 5 matches”, “since June 1”
- Use a minutes minimum for rankings: “minimum 600 minutes”
- Ask for the format you want: “table”, “bar chart”, “trend line”
- Ask for definitions: “What does VAEP mean in simple terms?”
A note on trust#
This is an analysis tool. If something looks surprising, ask for:
- the time range used
- the filters applied
- a quick sanity check (“show the top 5 rows and values”)
