Sports Coaches Are Starting To Use Broadcast Analysis Tools For Player Development

There is a quiet revolution taking place on the training field as sports coaches turn to broadcast technology to enrich player development and scouting through the power of video graphics. “Football analysis has really progressed in the last few years, but what hadn’t moved on so much is how that data was being presented during training or coaching sessions. Even now, you still see coaches using magnetic boards and talking around a video clip, and it’s all pretty abstract.” That’s the opinion of David Burke, head of technical analysis at Derby County Football Club, one of the first professional sports teams to recognise the potential of using broadcast analysis tool Viz Libero for player development.
