Many coaches at school and community clubs often feel that video analysis is beyond them. Whether it is access to the technological know-how, financial restrictions or simply the constraints of time preventing them from doing a decent analysis job. For many, the thought of filming a match, analysing it, clipping relevant sections and then creating time to discuss the feedback with their participants is time that could be spent practicing.
For schools, time is a very scarce commodity. Most coaches want to get their participants active for as much of a session as possible. Spending time watching videos and discussing what is on the screen feels ‘alien’ to many sports coaches.
However, this sentiment is being challenged by a new breed of technology-savvy coaches across several team sports. Rugby, football and hockey coaches at clubs – and, increasingly, schools – up and down the country are realising that their participants can benefit enormously from targeted video feedback and meeting sessions.
