LATEST NEWS FROM THE VIDEO COACH:
 

May 29 2007 -  The Video Coach goes international

Malawi national manager Stephen Constantine has asked The Video Coach to help him prepare for a friendly international against Senegal and then a vital African Cup of Nations qualifier against Morocco.  Video Coach Sales Director John Dukes is flying to Africa to provide our unique analysis service for the Malawi players in the two games and also to help study opposition.

September 18 2006 -  Colchester benefit from The Video Coach

Championship newcomers Colchester are the latest club to sign up for The Video Coach's analysis service with a two-year agreement.

Manager Geraint Williams made quality performance and video analysis a priority after taking charge in the first week of the season, and chose The Video Coach after being impressed with the advantages of the wide angle view of his team formation.

Colchester used the service for the first time in their win over Derby - and have since taken ten points from a possible twelve.

Williams said: "We learned very quickly how fine the line between winning and losing will be in this division, and anything we can do to make sure we have a better chance of winning is essential.

"Having the opportunity to review incidents and look at the team shape in the wide angle has really helped our preparation, and the players are already beginning to take on board the information that is being produced.  It's essential to learn lessons from the last game to take into the next one."
