One advantage to having clear and concise ;language that has definitive meaning for your players is that it allows you to effectively and efficiently make adjustments as well as communicate with staff as the game is going.
A tremendous tool for making adjustments on Friday nights is your instant replay system, but the effectiveness is very dependent on having great technology and that’s where our partner of the Coach and Coordinator Podcast SportScope excels.
When you go feature by feature and compare SportScope to the competition, it’s a no-brainer. From the speed in which you can access video from the previous play to what it will cost you program, SportScope wins in all regards,
SportScope gives you easy and predictive play tagging, picture in picture angle switching, smart features like sorting clips and play lockers for use of important clips at halftime, as well as giving you live in game opponent stats and tendencies
Technology can certainly provide advantages on game day, but only if you can trust it and maximize its effectiveness. For an episode on how to exactly do that, listen to Douglas Rivers, 6x state champion at nationally ranked Dutch Fork HS and see how SportScope helps them win.
