Sir Ian McGeechan - Why use Video?

Sir Ian McGeechan highlights how useful it can be for development to capture video footage and share it among players, coaches and parents.

Video Subtitles

Things like iPhones iPods, whatever it is. It doesn't have to be a camera. You've got high quality reproduction of events or parts of events or training sessions or games. We did whatever it is that you can if you see something good or you just see players good game. Whatever it is. You can share that with either other coaches or with parents or with players that you can actually do a one-to-one analysis with the player simply from having an iPad at the game and being able to then upload that you can then use the information there edit it and actually say well look this is what you're doing. Well, these are the things you need to work on and this is how we'll put your development program together based on the knowledge that comes from little video clips. I think it is. Yes because it's it's hard to get a message across sometimes two young children and we can stand in for 20 minutes and talk about what they should be doing in the situation where if you Just flip out and iPad in and say look this is what you should be doing and they're can see that in the video all of a sudden Twigs in the mind and once they've seen it the can actually replicate that skill. Whereas we can step spend 10 20 minutes talking over it go through little drills trying to get them to do the skill you've seen being done. But if we can actually get a rapid out and say look, this is how it's done. Once you do this now then fantastic for the children.
