The Transition to Hudl Sportscode with Saint Louis University

When considering the transition from v.11 to the new Hudl Sportscode, the first thing you will want to assess is, of course, the improved functionality and features. For Pavlakovich and his team at Saint Louis, there were a number of factors that aligned with this approach.

“One of the biggest issues with Sportscode in the past is dropping frames during capture and this has all but been eradicated in Hudl Sportscode,” said Pavlakovich. “Also, with v.11, I was always concerned with checking all of the captures at halftime. Hudl Sportscode gives me enough confidence to let it run, so now, I can be in halftime discussions and become a better coach as a result.” 

“Hudl Sportscode executes high-level scripts almost instantaneously, allowing our coaches to analyze output windows efficiently, it's the perfect opportunity to learn scripting. It will take you and your team to the next level,” said Pavlakovich. “Using toggles for outputs in lineup efficiencies and sets success is even faster in Hudl Sportscode, allowing for quicker analysis.” 

Time-saving is also exemplified for Saint Louis in the crucial stage of reporting, and there’s also one new feature that Hudl Sportscode brings to the table.

“We use output reports for every aspect of scouting, and Hudl Sportscode cuts our time in half,” said Pavlakovich. “We combine all opponent games into one package for these output reports, and with the quicker databasing process, everything is much smoother. The new sorter is great as it makes it easier to label opposing team's sets for these output windows. All I have to do is change the name of the play, and it's ready to go.”
