The 'SPEED needed to make the play'..Game Speed
Film Angles
To enrich raw game film to show the types of graphics & data seen in our examples, we need to see lines and markers (sidelines, goal lines, end lines, yard lines, etc.).
Let's start with the big field sports like football, soccer and lacrosse. We recommend a high vantage point for most sports. Wide-angle shots taken from an elevated sideline camera or phone will give you footage of the positioning players, as well as the on-the-ball action.
Most football games use 2-3 fixed camera's, wide, tight and end zone. The best angle for adding 3D graphics, trajectory, speed, distance, etc. is the wide angle sideline camera or phone. We might be able to use a tight sideline angle, depending on what part of the field the play begins.
For court sports and hockey rinks, a wide enough angle showing the whole width of the court at least a third of the length is ideal.
If you have any questions at all regarding game film, please reach out.
Breaking it down for coaches
Our goal is to bring performance data to the heart of the recruiting process in a simple and accessible way. Analysis of this kind empowers you to quickly find answers to some of your most important performance questions. This framework, done on a regular basis throughout the seasons will help access key trends in the data over time and serve as a reference point.
Effective use of performance tools and video analysis ensures that coaches have relevant and reliable information available to make informed decisions.
- Support the opinion coaches have of you
- Bring new layers of context to your key plays
- Situational analysis, Break it down
- Show player decision making through video
- Quantify & conceptualize your speed inside of game scenarios
- Connect your key performances with data and video insights
- Apply visualizations so coaches can view plays, shapes, dimensions and more
- Show movements, positioning, spacing at any field location
Provide coaches dynamic video and objective information to support the opinions they have of you during the recruiting process. College coaches are spending even more time recruiting online. College coaches also like to follow an athlete’s progression early in their career, which means they start following athletes as early as freshman year. Techniques such as video analysis can be key to this process.
Traditionally, decisions and feedback have been informed by a coach’s subjective view of performance, but that can be influenced by a huge number of biases. Given that most coaches have been shown to recall just 59.2% of critical events during games (Laird and Walters, 2008), it’s key that additional systems are used to improve the objectivity of the planning and review processes. By integrating data with video footage in this way, you are able to better understand the specific context of each key play and open better discussions around performance between you and coaches. This is where we help.
Getting Started
Getting started usually begins with a phone call at a time convenient for you. We love having the athletes participate as much as possible and answer any questions. After the phone call, we will send you a short Getting Started email and will be available to help with any questions.
