Hypothetical Data/Stats/HUDL Question

But does that HUDL assist data come with your terminology already? I'm listed on like 4 different school HUDL accounts and I get random emails from HUDL saying they have finished tagging a game, but it is usually well after we already have the same data in. I'm at a program where we can NO WAY afford to pay more money to HUDL than we already do... I assume there has to be programs out there where the money they can save on that makes things a lot easier on their programs.

Just the ability to have all of your ODK, DN, DIST, YL, HASH, PLAYCALL data into HUDL less than 10 minutes after the game is over makes everything take less than half the time it used to back in the day.

I guess I'm at a place where funding for hudl assist is easier to come by than help to do the tagging and live stats portion.

This is exactly what it comes down to. Way better to have it done manually by a dedicated individual(s).

But... i've been finding this very hard to find. I've been an OC that is also doing all the tagging for O/D/K & D&D while still trying to input data for game planning and its a lot. But I do prefer the accuracy of getting it done right. In hindsight though for my sanity and personal life it probably would've been beneficial to have the less accurate but quicker way. I just hate doing it like that and resigning to something that is not as good or accurate for the sake of convenience. The reality is we should have enough people on staff putting in the necessary work to make it happen.

That's my next step as well... currently we can get all of the ODK, DN, DIST, YL, HASH, PLAYCALL into HUDL within 5 minutes of our game being over. I don't have enough support staff to have another person or 2 doing anything statistical on Game-Night. But my coach in charge of "stats columns" on HUDL can get the RUSHER, PASSER, RECEIVER, TACKLER1, TACKLER 2 filled out in about 30 minutes, which means stats can be done at that point.

Not where I want to be yet, but we are taking a team that has been 4-37 over the past 4 years (0-10 twice, 1-9 twice, 2-8 in 2015) and rebuild it. Pretty much nobody in the community is willing to help out currently. We are 2-4 right now, and have 3 of our final 4 games that are winable. If we end up 5-5, I'm sure I'll have people coming out of the woodwork to help.

I've got a spreadsheet that my 1 volunteer I have fills out while the game is happening. The headings are labeled exactly what the columns are in HUDL and if he can get as many of those as possible during the game. It makes EVERYTHING else go 100x faster. From that list, I have a guy who just takes the "PLAYCALL" column and puts the OFF FORM, SHIFT, MOTION, OFF PLAY, PASS PRO, CONCEPT1, CONCEPT2 into the separate columns. It takes like 5 minutes for the entire game. Same thing with the defensive playcall going into DEF PER, FRONT, STUNT, BLITZ, COVERAGE columns. 

So basically, within 10-15 minutes of the game ending, we have our ENTIRE basic data (ODK, DN, DIST, YL, HASH) and our entire OFF and DEF sets into HUDL. After that, we split it up and have the various coaches put in data to help us find clips later. For instance, once we have our defensive data in, our defensive staff will enter all the data for the offense we faced. When the kids get to school on Saturday for recovery/film. They can see that we ran 40 Mike Go Silver vs. Doubles 5-Step Smash on clip #2. Makes watching fil m take 1/10 the time it used to. The playcall and what play we are facing are labeled at the top before the play. You can watch 50 plays in the same amount of time it used to take to watch 10 in the old-days.

Why not get a math nerd(with all due respect, and I have great respect for math and science) or somebody of the like to just sit in the coaches office and do it in real time on game night, will be completely done by the time the game is over? Of course not, but you could probably have it by the time you leave that same night. Let a math nerd be a jock....

Old School (when I played) = VHS
.....Watch a play once to see what the heck it is supposed to be (maybe have to watch twice)
.....Watch again now that we know the play and look for anything glaring that is wrong
.....Watch a 3rd time to see if there is something small that you can point out and fix
Every time you need to do it, you have to rewind. Takes forever. Can't skip ahead or back or anything quickly.

HUDL without data
.....Watch a play once to see what it is (or try to match the play to a paper playsheet that may or may not be in the same order)
.....Watch it again and look at the wide view to correct any skill position mistakes
.....Watch the EZ view to correct any box mistakes
Still can't move ahead or back quickly because you have to watch the start of the play to see if it is the one you are looking for

HUDL with data
.....Pull up the video and the info is at the top. Everyone can see it is supposed to be Power Rt
.....Watch the wide angle and fix the skills
.....Watch the EZ angle and fix the box
If you need to jump ahead or go back, you can do it very quickly because you are looking for the blown coverage in the 3rd quarter where they get a TD so you find the clip marked D with a K right after it with a 65 yard gain and there it is. No hunting for anything.

If you do what our staff does, then you already have a playlist of the 15-20 clips you want to watch with the kids already cutup before they get there. Then you don't have to search at all. You just watch those clips you already tagged.

Yes...

As we enter the other stuff, we make sure that we make a list of good/bad plays we have to watch with the kids. We don't watch the whole game. Usually you find out that you had the same issue on plays 12, 14, 26, 28, 29, 56, 67, etc... Just watch one and emphasize that we had issues all night with it and that when they watch the whole game, you will see that this same problem comes up all the time.

It definitely speeds up tagging your own games, but really my time sink is tagging traded film. A division of labor on that would probably be smart.

Big thing to remember is delegation requires 1) clarity of responsibilities and 2) training people to do the job the way you want it done. Of course, you also have to have some way to audit the data and make sure it's correct...kind of a whole mess.

Yep... Excel file that we import as soon as the game is over and we have EVERYTHING hudl assist gives you already done in under 5 minutes.

We turned it over 4 times last week (2 muffed punts and 2 ints) and lost 28-12. 5-5 record is officially out of reach, but if we go 4-6 this year it will still be more wins this year than the 5 years before this one combined. Still have a long way to go, but we are getting better.

Trying to teach the kids how to win... they have no clue how to do it, how to sometimes "win-ugly" or sometimes just find a way to make it happen. School and community so used to losing it's like 2nd nature. Trying to find a way to get that mindset erased.
