Review Film, Livestream Matches and Get Your Wrestlers Noticed

High school wrestling is a fast-paced, ultra-physical sport that requires immense athleticism, mental fortitude and elite conditioning from its participants. In a constantly evolving sport, video analysis remains a key part of coaching and player improvement.

For years, high school wrestling coaches, athletes and teams had a hard time maximizing their potential. Previously, it was difficult to capture film of their matches, breakdown match film, access stats and get noticed by college recruiters. But now with the Hudl high school wrestling solution, all of that headache is a thing of the past. 

Seamlessly Capture Match Footage

The old saying goes, the eye in the sky doesn’t lie. In layman’s terms, this just means that film is the only truly objective way to evaluate player performance. Film has become a non-negotiable for virtually every wrestling program across the country.

Years ago, film was incredibly difficult to capture. It often required a tripod camera and parent or volunteer filmer. This led to errors, inconsistent film and headaches for everyone involved. But now, wrestling teams have access to panoramic and center mat angles that allow for greater precision and consistency. That added precision and consistency also make it easier for coaches to evaluate every wrestling move and help their wrestlers improve.

Wrestling teams are increasingly turning to solutions like the Hudl Focus Indoor camera. They can also use other options like an iPad or video camera and record using the Hudl app. This process just requires teams to have a dedicated filmer who is positioned near the mat to record all of the action.

Overall, the filming process is simple. Hit record (on your Hudl Focus Indoor camera or tablet/video camera) and let it run, no need to stop throughout the match. Then just upload your film to your account and review on any device.

Get the Most out of Match Review with In-Depth Breakdowns

A coach’s time is at a premium during the season. But now coaches can save hours of time each week with Hudl Assist breakdowns.

When coaches utilize Hudl Assist, they receive full match breakdowns with synced video and data, allowing them to quickly find the moments that matter for review and analysis. Coaches will save tons of time each week and throughout the season because they’ll no longer be required to enter data for every match or duel.

Another benefit of having access to and utilizing Hudl Assist is that now you can easily bring coachable moments to life. Whether you’re on the mat or at home, you can utilize playlists and comments to point out key coaching moments to your wrestlers, helping them improve faster.

Create Wrestling Match Highlights and Help Your Athletes Get Recruited

Getting your wrestlers noticed is a critical component of keeping your athletes happy. Whether they just want recognition from family or peers or want to be recruited to the next level, getting them noticed goes a long way in keeping your athletes happy and engaged. And now there’s no better way to get your wrestlers recruited than with free Hudl athlete profiles and highlight creation tools.
