io9.com/5585219/the-invisible-gorilla-returns-to-show-us-how-often-we-miss-the-obviousI thought this was pretty interesting. There are two videos in this link, but if you only watch one, watch the second one. It reminded me of what I tend to do during practice, games, film, etc. It's like whenever I try to watch for just one or two things, I miss everything else that goes on, but if I try to focus on too many things at once, then I miss most of the details that I should be focusing on. For example, when we run counter, I can watch for the proper first steps of the guard and tackle on the double team, or I can watch for the proper pull step from the pulling guard, but if I try to see both, then I cannot focus on either. Is this one of those things that gets better with experience? Or do you just have to get better at picking and choosing what you are going to focus on and what you might miss?

Probably a good idea to have a punch list of what you are looking for, and or will be grading on, before you start watching a game video.
Same holds true for breaking a video down. Know what you are looking for before you sit down. What are the questions that need to be answered first for the scouting report, next for the plays we will call, or defenses we will institute, and then those for the tendencies that may or may not be there.
Finally, once the key questions are answered, you just watch the video to pick up anything you may have missed.
Good tests, I missed two things in the second video.

Darren, this may be different because I'm a defensive guy but I like to get specific the SECOND time I watch the film. The first time I like to get their basic stuff and get a feel for them. I think some staffs make a major mistake by going ODK and breaking down the tape before they actually watch it. |

Yeah, I agree, getting a feel for a team is important - I probably should have put that in first and then started the list. I am just not sure coaches even have a punch list beyond D & D, hash, formation, play, etc. (if that)
I just believe that some times there are questions that go unanswered in the film room that end up being the same questions that are asked after a game is over and things didn't go as planned.

Better at picking and choosing. It's like with medical diagnosis; you get better at figuring out the likeliest problem areas out of all the things that could theoretically go wrong, and looking there. Right now I notice that some of the things that go wrong with form, the players already know after a bad rep. So I try to focus on what they're less likely to realize. Plus, you have to think, if you do find something wrong with this, what are the chances you'll be able to fix it in a reasonable amount of time? Sometimes if well into a season a player has developed a "hitch" of some kind, and you try to iron it out, it can get worse before it gets better. |
