[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s coach this season films all training sessions and matches. He asks the boys to do a mini analysis of their own play.

I fully support what he’s doing, and I appreciate the kids now have to self evaluate. Anything that involves critical analysis of their own play is a big benefit. Both positives and negatives, because the trend otherwise quickly becomes high praise for skilled players with lesser players being ignored. The Veo levels that out quickly when you see who is really playing the game compared to who just shows up to matches and does their own thing.

[b]It’s also interesting to see the parents of players that were once thought to be the backbone of teams suddenly becoming quieter on the sidelines when the finally see the game catching up to their kids. [/b]

This is true. We have a few players whom the coach loves and the parents puff their chest out and are usually quite outspoken.  But when you watch the film review, their actual production value is quite low.  -At a glance, they are flashy and win the ball, but the end result is over-dribbling and failed passes that get turned over.  I have a quiet kid, gets subbed in, makes 80-90% pass completion, always finds feet, but then gets subbed out.   And surprise, the coach does very little film review, so in the end we are paying for a service that is under-utilized.

I know the coach is human.  There isn't always enough time and it takes a few hours of effort to rally analyze a game and track player metrics. I think our film usage could be better, but I think a lot of teams just film the games and don't do much with it.[/quote]
