<p>It seems that with each week there is something new in the world of athletics related to technology.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Some of the things I see our coaches using:</p>
<p>1. Each sport now seems to have an app that can track stats or do a live game tracker. <a href="http://www.pointstreaks.com" target="_blank">www.pointstreaks.com</a> is what we used during basketball season to show a live game center with stats.</p>

<p>2. Coaches are using apps for on the field instruction. Coach's eye is one of the best for videoing and then showing right away. It has a great slow motion.</p>
<p>3. For video library - Hudl is the way to go. Coaches can share game/practice film with the viewers they want. Coaches are filming practices and then sharing and breaking down film with their athletes.</p>
<p>4. Social Media - Twitter and facebook have change how we receive info.</p>
<p></p>
<p>These are just a few and there seems to be more each week.</p>

<p>Hi Jeff,</p>
<p>Another one is the use of an application for signups. At <a href="http://aes.ac.in" target="_blank">AES New Delhi</a>, I was about to program an application for our Basketball and other coaching programs to allow participants to sign up using a web interface. Unfortunately that project (not the idea) was put on hold since we are adopting Veracross this Summer and it provides sign-ups for such activities.

<p>Hi Jeff,</p>
<p>Another one is the use of an application for signups. At <a href="http://aes.ac.in" target="_blank">AES New Delhi</a>, I was about to program an application for our Basketball and other coaching programs to allow participants to sign up using a web interface. Unfortunately that project (not the idea) was put on hold since we are adopting Veracross this Summer and it provides sign-ups for such activities. Though, we extensively use in-house applications I have developed for other programs like After School Activities, Swim School etc.</p>
<p>The benefit has been increase in number of signups, better management of roster and even online payment eliminating the need for paper thereby reducing our carbon footprint.<br/><br/></p>

<p>One interesting way technology has been integrated into Track. The difference between hand times and automatic times is substantial. video play back has changed the way many events where half an inch could have been lost (shot put) due to human error is now being measured.</p>

In Pennsylvania high school wrestling coaches have to enter weigh ins into the NWCA Optimal Performance Calculator to track athletes weight loss and calculate an appropriate minimum weight class that the athlete can compete at. Also the coaches have to record the competition results for dual meets and tournaments into this same program.<br />

<p>They now use video and video freeze framing for instant replay for almost all the major pro sports..............The NFL uses for all kids of call, MLB now uses it for homeruns, the NBA can review certain things like buzzer beaters, 3pt shots and to determine who committed a foul, and the NHL uses it to review goals as well. Video has also long been used to help athletes perfect or correct their craft.</p>

<p>Hi! There are a ton of apps on iPods that are good for sports. There are also pedometer aps. There are app games that teach kids the rules of sports too. You could also use a flip cam or iPod cam to take a person swinging a bat or a club to demonstrate technique, and then you can show that video on a projector for others to analyze.
