School in Indiana. " That's a strong feature. ... We have standards for
how much film players need to watch each week, and it's part of how
we assess whether they deserve to dress for the game. "
A Better Way to Exchange Film
Gilbert also reflected on how far schools have come from the days
of driving cross-state to exchange film with another coach. The
ways schools equipped with Hudl Focus are now able to quickly and
automatically get video helps not only his coaching staff but every
single high school coach who wants to spend less time on the road
and more time with their families.
Hudl unquestionably gives an edge to teams playing at home in
facilities that have been outfitted with Hudl mounted cameras and
equipment, but what happens when they hit the road? The Focus
Exchange Network has them covered.
The Focus Exchange Network allows schools on an athletic
department package to gain access to HD-recorded film for games
" We're all in this together. Instead of making someone work extra
hours, let's all share what we already have so we can get back those
hours with our family, " Gilbert said.
At no time is this more critical than the postseason, when teams
are playing games with a quick turnaround against teams they may
not be familiar with. Coaches can often be left scrambling to find
film, but the Exchange Network gives teams instant access to video.
Coaches can begin reviewing film on the bus ride home.
Randy Barnes, head football coach at Farmersville High School in
Texas, remembers a time when collecting and trading film wasn't so
easy. His staff had to spend hours during the weekend cutting film
into offensive and defensive reels. He'd then spend hours driving
on a Saturday morning to meet a fellow coach and swap tape of
that are played in any Focus-equipped facilities. No more worrying
about who's shooting the game, how the coaching staff will access
the film, or whether the footage will be of high quality when playing
on the road or at a neutral site.
