The Coach's Eye App
The Coach's eye app was created by the TechSmith in Michigan. This app cost $1.05 and can be purchased at the iTunes store. This app allows you to study athlete movements and provide feedback. It has the capability to allow you to review the athlete movements in slow motion while giving audio commentary as you record. Coach's eye has several ways to draw on the video to provide more awareness to certain movements. This app would be very useful as a basketball coach or any sport. I coach middle school basketball and I have been trying to find a way to show my players the correct way to dribble, shoot, and pass during basketball practice. Coach's eye will be a great tool because I can record their action and narrate it at the same time. Their movements can be control by a flywheel which allows you to slow down their movement for closer review. The key components to the Coach's eye are the ability to capture the athlete's movements, to slow down the motion for further review, to draw detailed information on the video, to provide audio commentating, and to make the adjustments after review. I also think this app could be utilized in my Physical Education class to show students how to perform the correct mechanics in throwing, catching, and running. It would be so much easier if students could see what you are trying to correct.
Didn't we demo this in class?

Yes,
ReplyDeleteI asked Dr. Penny if I could use the Coach's Eye app that was introduced in class due to the difficulty of finding an app that could be useful for me on the middle school level and an app that was not reviewed by iear. As a coach this was a perfect app for me to investigate for future use.

This one is so cool! I can def. see myself using this one if I ever coach in the future. Such an easier method than video recording & playing it back on a TV. I remember that's how my coaches used to do it - this way looks much easier & it would be a great way to assess students or athletes on skills & techniques!
