"Entering our inaugural season we knew our team of freshmen would need more instruction than what we could provide at practice and individual sessions. We knew that extensive film breakdown and review could help us gain the edge our young team would need. However, we were also realistic about our budgetary and time restraints.

After reviewing several film editing options, we decided to purchase eAnalyze Plus. This product has turned my hour-long film sessions into a fifteen-minute session that holds the attention of my young and easily distracted team. Creating clips is literally as easy as hitting 1 key. The use of Hotkeys has been a tremendous time saver for my coaching staff. Even the way eAnalyze Plus organizes clips make our life easier. I can retrieve clips by game, player, team, or clip type. We use eAnalyze Plus to breakdown film from our practices, games, and our upcoming opponents.

The software allows me to be a telestrator during film sessions. I can draw directly on the film to emphasize key points. eAnalyze Plus has also eliminated the need for me to use the whiteboard during film sessions. The program includes a field diagram that I can draw on, and instead of drawing and erasing a bunch of X's and O's, I can simply move the player icons to illustrate my teaching point.

As coaches, we cannot guarantee that our team will be focused every day, and we cannot guarantee that they'll perform every day, but we can make sure they're prepared. Our use of eAnalyze Plus allows me to say with confidence that our team is prepared for every game. Now we just need to figure out how to teach these freshmen to turn that preparation into execution."
