Vidswap's underused features for scouting, statistics and accountability

Fully utilizing all that VidSwap has to offer can be the difference between good and great, and in some cases, winning the next or losing it. That is why it’s important you get the most out of your VidSwap experience.

here are the 3 VidSwap features you should make sure you use in your workflow:

1. Reviews

A cooperative tool for optimizing team performance that has similarities to the Highlights feature but separates itself by providing a more granular approach to coaching, allowing for team communication during the process as well as giving accountability tools for the coaching staff. This tool allows the following:

• Segmentation – Reviews allows coaches to pick and choose exactly who will be able to view the highlight footage and comments. Whether it be a single-player, a custom group of players, or an entire position group (defense, offense, set pieces, etc). Reviews take highlights and turns them into specific, learnable, and actionable content.
• Team communication – Review sessions include a chat box so, players and staff can share thoughts, constructive criticism, and tips with all the participants.
• Accountability – a reporting tool that allows the coach to see player participation analytics about the review. These include the number of comments, watch time by section, and last accessed information to name just a few. This data gives allows the coach to view which players are engaged, learning, and following instructions.

2. Custom Statistics

The best results in every sport are achieved when coaches find ways to rise above the rest by thinking outside the box and not relying only on superiority in the execution of cookie-cutter strategies.

Within Settings, coaches can create custom statistic formulas. This means every coach can gauge their player’s performance in a way that suits their specific need and vision. This statistical sandbox approach provides flexibility, allows low-risk experimentation, and rewards originality for coaches who are looking for an edge. As the proverb says, “Fortune favors the bold”.

3. Scout

Pro sports teams employ scouts to find new talent and gather intelligence on rivals. Before the advent of modern technology, this option was a reality only for the rich and the few. Luckily, much like in other sectors, technology is democratizing access to information and therefore generates possibilities for those who were previously optionless.

In VidSwap, coaches have the option to unlock Scout feature. Just as the name suggests, the feature gives coaches the power of scouting and intelligence gathering. Want to learn how to stop the other team’s star player? Learn their game through video footage. Want to evaluate a young prospect as part of your rebuilding plan and can’t afford to send staff to the venue? Analyze their abilities remotely. The feature comes with an additional cost, however, the saving of time and money (flights, accommodations, additional expenses, etc) present a high return on investment for any coach who’s looking to take their team to the next level.
