With all the stuff that's out there, we'll try to discern just what's good and what's a bunch of crap. I'll post links and answer questions about what compression technology is and how it affects your bottom line, what your budget should look like when considering video coaching technology, etc. Please include your name and company/school with comments.Video Guruhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09984854623343380852noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29727297.post-1171481306271048852007-02-14T11:05:00.000-08:002007-02-16T09:00:02.984-08:00

As everyone who has ever tried to film a sporting event for review later, there have been many frustrations and lots of bad footage. Ever try to film soccer from the sideline and miss a play because the ball was kicked to close to you and you couldn't get everything in the frame? Or tried to film your son's little league game and see plenty of the outfielder, but none of the pitches? I'll

There are a ton of confusing stories and difficult to decipher information for parents and athletes about getting recruited. Everyone has seen the "Guide for the College Bound Student Athlete", but what exactly does "once between June 21 and 30th in your Junior Year" mean to coaches and athletes. Many parents spend thousands of dollars with recruiting services sending out tapes and having their

Lately I've been working with coaches on expensive editing systems, great highlight film and recruiting software, and gearing up for the fall athletic season. One major thing I've noticed is how poor the video cameras are that some big time programs are using. Now in this day and age, everyone's budget is getting cut, but skimping on a decent camera is not the way to save a few bucks. You can

Recently there have been quite a few companies popping up talking about video exchange over the internet. The technology is there to do this relatively inexpensively, but there are a few things to consider. You'll want to know how much internet bandwidth is allocated to the area of your department that you can use and how your digital editing system works to take true advantage of the

There are a couple of tools out there to do motion analysis with and depending on your budget and what you want out of your video study, a few options. The two leaders right now seem to be Right View Pro and Dartfish. For different reasons, they are both good alternatives. While RightViewPro (www.rightviewpro.com) focuses on Baseball and Softball, they can also be used for other sports. Their
