Frequently Asked Questions

What video analysis software should I use?

Professionals use tools like Hudl, Wyscout, and Coach Logic. Grassroots coaches can use free options like VLC player, YouTube, or simple phone recording. The tool matters less than how you use it.

How do I film matches effectively?

Film from an elevated position (stand or balcony) to capture the whole pitch. Use a tripod for stability. Film in landscape, not portrait. Capture the full width so you can see team shape and movement.

What should I look for when analysing a match?

Start with overall shape and patterns. Are we compact or stretched? Do we create chances? Then focus on specific moments: transitions, set pieces, key individual actions. Look for trends, not one-off events.

How do I give video feedback to players?

Show short clips (30-60 seconds). Highlight what they did well first, then areas for improvement. Ask questions to involve them in the analysis. Keep sessions short (10-15 minutes). Overloading with footage overwhelms players.

Is video analysis useful at grassroots level?

Yes, but keep it simple. Even basic phone footage helps players see what they're doing. It's especially useful for showing team shape and set-piece execution. You don't need expensive software to benefit from video.
