December 201819 From day one, we've built Hudl to meet the massive demand for a platform that makes it simple to record, share and analyze videomost elite international organizations, including FC Barcelona, NFL teams to colleges, high school, and club teams in the U.S. Performance Analysis Made Easy Sports teams and coaches can record their games or practice sessions with their devices and upload it to the Hudl software. They can also upload video while recording using Wi-Fi to analyze it within minutes. Once the video is uploaded, the entire team can access and review the video from any device on the go. They can then start breaking down the video and track statistics through the Hudl app. The team can also send the video to Hudl's professional analysts through Hudl Assist to provide team and player performance analysis for both the teams within 24 hours. As an add-on to the Hudl subscription, Assist provides auto-generated playlists with the ability to dig deeper into stats. After the breakdown of the video, users can gain insights into hidden trends through reports and charts to prepare for the next match. Interestingly, every stat is linked to the video, making it easy for users to find the most important moments of the team. Users can create custom playlists based on their stats for the entire team, individuals or custom groups. This way all the players are on the same page as the coach. Also, the platform allows users to pull together important clips to point out improvement areas. Hudl enables coaches to share videos, complemented with comments, to players showing positive plays to boost confidence or areas to be concentrated on for the next training. By actually showing them areas to work on, Hudl empowers players to grasp concepts or techniques rapidly. The platform also offers a highlight tool that allows coaches and players to showcase their best moments to fans or recruiters through social media channels. "There are numerous players who have got big offers to play at top schools just by listing their Hudl link on their twitter profiles." What's more, Hudl's communication tools enable coaches and athletes to stay connected. Along with Hudl assist, the company offers two more add-ons. Hudl Sideline, a wireless in-game replay solution, allows users to make in-game adjustments rapidly by instantly watching previous plays on iPads or iPhones. On the other hand, Hudl Technique allows individuals to record their game and review it in slow motion to break down their techniques with drawing tools along with side by side comparisons. Specialized Solutions, Powered by Hudl Hudl has strengthened its product portfolio with acquisitions of Sportstec, a provider of coaching applications and professional services and VolleyMetrics, a leader in volleyball analytics and video exchange.
