Using Online Technology to Analyse
Team Performance
New research from the University of Worcester has suggested the shift towards the use of online, video-based
coaching systems is part of an inevitable evolution in coaching practice in the digital era. With this in mind, the
researchers sought to find out how coaches are using video coaching platforms to facilitate collaborative
performance analysis between players and coaches. The research found both positive and negative aspects
of this digital coaching, with the ultimate challenge not being the technology, but how the technology is used
by coaches.
