Скачать или смотреть Samples of Video Analysis To Improve Sports Performance

Here's an example of how to use video to help players develop their skills. I recorded this a few years ago (before I had an HD camera) to show how to help a player see what they are doing with free throw shooting.

It’s important to be able to show your athletes exactly what they are doing so they can make adjustments for mistakes. It’s also great for positive reinforcement when they do something the right way.

It’s one thing to explain drills and skills to them and to demonstrate something yourself (as a coach) the correct way.

But when you can show them clips of themselves, they can get a deeper understanding, and I think they can make improvements to their skills quicker.

Something magical happens when athletes can see themselves doing things correctly as soon as it happens.

They are still feeling good from your positive feedback, and when you show them a video clip of themselves doing it, it has a much stronger impact than if you just told them “good job”.

The combination of them doing the skills correctly, hearing you compliment them, and then actually seeing themselves do it is very powerful.

You can use your video camera or phone to record clips of your athlete to show them, but it’s a good idea to use their phone to record some clips too.

That way, they can review the clips whenever they want. It helps them to mentally reinforce all the correct movements and skills by watching the clips repeatedly…which they will do if they have the clips on their phone.

What to record and show your players…

For your sport, you’ll have to decide what angles you want to record that’ll help your athlete.

As an example, when I am teaching free throw shooting, I’ll set up the camera in these angles:

Directly in front – helps me see alignment of the shooter’s body, how they keep their head straight, their follow through, etc.

Side view – shows their up and down motion (which should be mostly leg power), the angle of their follow through, etc.

Back view – shows similar things as the front view but at another angle

All these together give me a better understanding of what the player is doing correctly and what they need work on.

If you coach baseball pitchers, you might want to use the same angles:

Front, from behind the backstop – to show front facing delivery mechanics

Side view – to show shoulder/arm mechanics, to see the side view of release point, and how they plant the foot on the step-off for the delivery

Back view – to get another angle for a more complete analysis

These same angles will probably also apply to football quarterbacks, volleyball servers, tennis players, etc.

As for equipment, all you need is a phone or a basic video camera. And a decent tripod that will hold the camera or phone in position while you conduct your sessions.

Again, the most important thing to remember is to find out what your specific players need help with and then decide which angles will capture their movements the best for you to show them what they are doing correctly and what they need more work on.
