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 and team performance. With sports growing in popularity and competitiveness, film has become a non-negotiable for virtually every program. That includes soccer programs and organizations. And for soccer coaches and teams, Focus Outdoor and Focus Flex soccer camera systems are the best ways to record soccer games.
Now that soccer teams can properly capture film and later analyze it, it opens up a number of possibilities for coaches to review team-wide performance, ramp up player development and power recruiting. For players, film is a valuable tool for improvement and a great way to stand out and get noticed at the next level. Here are some soccer recording tips.
Years ago, film was difficult to capture. It required a camera person or iPad and parent or volunteer filmer. This inevitably led to errors and inconsistent film, which is hard on both coaches and players. Automated soccer camera systems like Focus Outdoor or portable sports cameras like Focus Flex ensure greater precision and convenience, which allows for greater attention to detail with the way soccer teams approach soccer game analysis and team preparation.
These new preparation methods include the use of advanced automated artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms to track the ball, players and field movements with incredible accuracy. By using a portable sports camera for soccer, teams can effortlessly capture every moment of every game.
For coaches, the benefits of automated soccer camera systems extend far beyond just capturing video. These automated camera systems are seamlessly integrated with popular video analysis platforms like Hudl Assist, which aids coaches in their workflows from start to finish.
When cameras automatically upload and process film, coaches can quickly access game footage within minutes of the final whistle. That means no more time-consuming manual uploads or video conversions. This streamlined process gives coaches what they need to dive into game analysis immediately and identify areas of improvement.
When you start using a portable sports camera for soccer as part of your coaching routine, you can unlock new methods for player development and overall team performance. Here’s how:
Focus Flex is the only soccer video camera on the market that’s fully integrated with Hudl and goes anywhere your team needs it.
Clear, HD video powers your team reviews, player development and recruiting. Built-in, real-time streaming and uploading power is powered by a 4G data plan* and automatic uploads with no additional process time make your submissions to Hudl Assist easier than ever.
An automated soccer camera system like Focus Outdoor or Focus Flex integrates with Hudl, meaning you can reap the benefits of both the camera and our all-in-one video and stats platform simultaneously. This integration allows for easy film upload, film organization and video analysis workflows. That means now, more than ever, coaches are in the best position to identify areas for improvement, give player feedback and share match insights with their team.
Simply put: Integrations allows you to maximize your coaching abilities. The Hudl platform and a portable sports camera work side-by-side to help you get the most out of coaching your soccer team.
Focus Outdoor and Focus Flex are excellent for capturing high-quality video footage, but their true power lies in their ability to help you see the game differently with advanced analytics and data-driven insights from Hudl Assist. AI and machine learning ensure that you get access to everything you need for proper soccer game analysis.
With access to data like attacking, defensive and set piece stats, coaches can find new and creative ways to put their teams in winning positions. And this data-drive approach not only helps pre-game planning but will allow for in-game adjustments, too.
Soccer is always evolving, but it’s fair to say soccer cameras are here to stay. These cameras have changed the way we see the game, and are giving coaches like you the tools you need to be the best.
By embracing this technology and finding the best ways to use it, you’ll become a better coach and your players will improve.
