Video has become an essential tool for sports coaching. It enables coaches and athletes to better analyze their performance, communicate more effectively, and optimize daily training.
It can therefore be used in a variety of ways:
- By coaches, to film and analyze training sessions or competitions and identify the strengths and weaknesses of their athletes,
- By athletes, to identify areas for improvement and optimize their performance,
- Using video analysts, automate capture, break down play, evaluate individual and team performances and generate statistics.
- By medical teams, to identify a technical gesture or an incident that has led to an injury.
Obstacles to the use of video in sport
The benefits of using video capture and analysis in sport are undeniable, enabling a deeper understanding of athlete performance, improved tactics and informed decision-making. However, a number of obstacles sometimes stand in the way of widespread adoption of this technology.
First of all, one of the main obstacles is the growing need for qualified human resources. The effective implementation of video capture and analysis systems usually requires experts capable of configuring, managing and interpreting the data collected. These professionals, whether video analysts, engineers or data specialists, are often rare and expensive, which tends to confine the use of this type of solution to major team sports whose budgets allow it.
What’s more, the technical complexity inherent in setting up these systems can also be an obstacle. The acquisition of the necessary equipment, the management of sophisticated analysis software and the regular maintenance of these systems require advanced technical skills. Coaches, elite athletes or sports teams, especially those at lower levels or with limited resources, may feel daunted by the learning curve associated with these technologies.
Developed in the field, with top athletes and their coaches, far from the sport business, VOGO’s dedicated solutions overcome these obstacles to pave the way for more widespread and beneficial use of video in sports coaching.
The benefits of video for trainers
With VOGOSCOPE STAFF, VOGO has opted for a turnkey video solution that offers many advantages to trainers. It provides live feedback during training sessions and competitions, but also retrospectively, thanks to the collected data available in the Cloud. Before or after training sessions and competitions, you can view video archives and look back on memorable moments and gestures.
It gives coaches the opportunity to precisely analyze athletes’ performances and movements, and then to design personalized, tailored training programs. Video also serves to reinforce the message conveyed by coaches, thanks to images that speak louder than words.
With our tools, video analysis can be adapted to all sports and all levels, making it an ideal solution for high-level athletes: clubs, INSEP, CREPS, federations, etc. It also facilitates communication between athletes, coaches and medical staff.
The benefits of video for athletes
In addition to its benefits for sports trainers, video and image analysis also has numerous advantages for athletes and the optimization of their sporting performance. Athletes can thus gain a better understanding of their technique, and easily identify their strengths and areas for improvement.
The analysis of video data and the replay of training sessions and competitions therefore increases motivation and commitment, enabling athletes to monitor their performance on a daily basis and self-correct. But they can also create content for their own visibility, to raise the profile of their sport, or to find sponsors.
