New 'Coach's Eye ' iPhone App Changes the Game for Coaches, Provides Instant Video Analysis to Improve Athlete Performance
OKEMOS, Mich. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Today's launch of Coach's Eye http://www.CoachsEye.com
- a new iOS 5 application for the iPhone and iPod touch from TechSmith
Corporation, provides coaches, athletes and parents with an edge:
the ability to immediately capture, analyze and share athletic
performance on video using an everyday mobile device. Coaches can now
provide instant feedback using technology typically reserved for film
rooms, such as slow motion frame-by-frame analysis, telestrator
capability, audio narration and super-fast video creation on device.
"Video doesn't lie. But access to video feedback and instant replay
technology for athletic performance is typically only available to
professionals due to the cost and complexity," says Brooks Andrus,
Coach's Eye product manager at TechSmith. "Now any sport that demands
purity of form for maximum performance can benefit from Coach's Eye.
From baseball to football, soccer to martial arts, yoga to
swimming-Coach's Eye can help athletes improve on the spot."
Coach's Eye is the most complete, instant video analysis program
available. It enables anyone to record video and review footage in
real-time, and quickly share the feedback via text, email, YouTube and
more. The Coach's Eye app is priced at just $0.99 for a limited time,
providing everyone with an affordable tool they can use to put the power
of professional coaching in their hands-on the field, in the gym, and
even in the backyard.
Coach's Eye is the first recreational mobile application produced by
TechSmith, the company behind award-winning visual communication
software including Camtasia, Snagit and Jing. The new video analysis
application extends TechSmith's traditional software product lines to
the mobile platform, allowing visual instruction on the go.
Key Features:
-
Digital Flywheel: Coaches can jump directly to precise points
of interest by spinning the unique digital flywheel either forward or
reverse.
-
Slow motion, frame-by-frame review and analysis: Coaches can
more precisely explain plays, review form, fine-tune mechanics and
more by slowing everything down.
-
Drawing on videos: Coaches can complement videos with
telestrator shapes and lines, the same way sportscasters break down
and analyze plays.
-
Output to free hosting on CoachsEye.com: Coaches can keep all
of the reviews they've completed, so they can refer back and replay
them for others.
-
Immediate video compositing: Coaches' narration, drawing and
replay are compressed into a single review on the device, eliminating
the time delay between video capture and feedback delivery.
-
Built to maximize iOS 5 functionality: AirPlay mirroring
enables coaches to output content from their device to a television
without using cables to utilize the footage in the film room, and
device notifications prevent updates from interrupting other device
activity.
Coach's Eye Beta User Feedback:
"My players used to swear they were taking corner kicks properly. But
the first time I used Coach's Eye to show them what I was seeing, they
stopped arguing and fixed their technique. At the next practice, they
were correcting the kids who missed the previous week! I was amazed by
how easy the app was to use and how quickly it got results."
Oscar Castaneda, coach and president, Capital Area Soccer League
"I have been coaching my son in baseball since he was about 6 years old.
He's 16 now, and his goal is to play baseball in college. With Coach's
Eye, my son can instantly see what he is doing wrong and understand what
it is that we are working on to change or fix. After seeing himself on
video and being able to move back and forth in slow motion, use stop
action and the drawing tools, it is like a light bulb goes on for
him. The first time we used it, I explained and diagramed what I was
asking him to do, and he said 'I get it, that's awesome!' We use it for
his pitching, hitting and fielding drills. It has been an amazing tool
in helping him to constantly improve as well as to make sure his
fundamentals stay strong."
