How to Integrate Video Analysis into Your Training Sessions: Building on Filming Techniques
In previous blogs, we’ve covered the best practices for filming sports games. Now, let’s explore how to integrate this video content into your training sessions using video analysis to enhance athlete performance and team strategy. When used effectively, video analysis can turn training insights into actionable improvement.
Why Video Analysis is Crucial
The value of video analysis lies in its ability to provide visual feedback. While verbal coaching has its place, video helps athletes see their movements, positioning, and decisions more clearly. This makes feedback more impactful, allowing players to not only hear what went wrong or right but also see it, making the learning process more engaging.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Video in Training
Analyse Your Footage with Coach Logic
After filming your training sessions, Coach Logic’s platform allows you to easily upload and organise your footage. The platform enables you to tag key moments - whether it’s a breakdown in defence, a missed opportunity, or a successful play. Use this function to identify critical moments and break them down into clips that will be useful for analysis.
Coach Logic's collaborative platform makes it easy to share these clips with your coaching staff, helping you to analyse the session collectively and draw insights from different perspectives.
Tactical Adjustments Using Coach Logic’s Tools
The platforms features allows you to annotate clips directly, making it easy to illustrate key insights. For instance, you can mark out positioning or highlight gaps in your team's attack or defence. These visual aids are invaluable for helping players understand not just what happened, but why it happened and how to adjust moving forward.
Create Personalised Playlists for Players
Tailor your analysis to individual players by using Coach Logic to create playlists focusing on their specific strengths and weaknesses. For instance, if a player is struggling with decision-making during high-pressure moments, you can compile clips showing examples from their own performances and similar scenarios from other players. With Coach Logic’s sharing features, athletes can review these playlists on their own time, allowing them to come to the next training session with a clear idea of what they need to improve.
Use Video to Complement Training Drills
Before running specific drills, show players key clips to help them visualise the correct techniques or strategies. For example, if you’re working on attacking set- pieces, use clips from recent matches where your team had both successful and unsuccessful attempts. This visual reference gives players a clearer understanding of what they should be focusing on during the drills.
Encourage Self-Analysis via Coach Logic
Empower your players to take control of their own development by encouraging them to use Coach Logic for self-analysis. Players can access the platform to review their own footage, add comments, and tag moments they want to focus on. This self-driven approach increases player engagement and allows them to track their progress over time, building a culture of continuous improvement.
Maximising the Impact of Video Analysis
To get the most out of video analysis, make it a regular part of your training sessions, not just something you use after games. Regularly reviewing footage allows athletes to see their progress and understand their role in the team more clearly. Coach Logic makes this process seamless by offering an easy-to-use platform that keeps all your footage, clips, and feedback in one place.
Conclusion
By building on your existing filming skills and integrating Coach Logic into your video analysis process, you can elevate both individual and team performance. From personalised playlists to tactical insights, video analysis makes training more focused and effective. With Coach Logic you can ensure that your team is constantly learning and improving, both on and off the field.
