RLCM 'Everyday' Coaching Quote for Monday

" The main thing about winning on the ground for me is how much 
resolve and how good your attitude is. 

"If you have a real strong attitude and you're motivated you'll come 
out better on the field because you will do the things conducive to 
winning." 

Daniel Anderson from the RLCM Book 27 article 'Attitude Needed in the 
Ruck'

SPORTS PERFORMER FAQ's

What does SPORTS PERFORMER do?

Basically, you can record and then analyze anything you want.

For example, a coach could tag everything the halfback does by 
pressing 7 on the computer keyboard while the video file is playing 
every time his halfback is involved in the play.  The SPORTS 
PERFORMER software will record all those plays and save them for a 
specified time before and after the event (eg two seconds before and 
five seconds after)

Then you can make a movie of those clips, save it to video or CD and 
give it to the player.  It can be saved on a file and added to after 
every game and any improvement or deterioration of form or skill can 
be analyzed.

So, how many other scenarios can be analyzed?
Every player, play, tackle, pass, play the ball, time on the ground, 
time with the dance, running angles, catch, kick, left shoulder, 
right shoulder, square at the tackle, ad line defense, markers, every 
set or every tackle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in that set, coming out of your own 
end, first receiver catch and 
pass.........................................

It goes on and on.  Whatever you want out of a game or the 
opposition's game can be recorder by a click on the keyboard as you 
are watching the video through you computer.

Think of the time that will be saved.

What do I need to run SPORTS PERFORMER?

SPORTS PERFORMER requires a computer of speed capable of running 
video files.  All new computers have this capability and older 
machines with the following configuration could also be suitable.

Minimum hardware requirements:
* PC - 800 MHz
* 128 MB of RAM
* 20 GB Hard Disk
* System Windows XP or 98 se, 2000

Should you be transferring analog video, you will also need a video 
capture device, available at most reputable computer stores and large 
electrical retails such as Domayne or Harvey Norman.  For a laptop, 
recommend a USB connection and a PCI device for a desktop computer.

Should you be lucky enough to have access to digital footage, this 
device is not required as the file can be transferred directly from 
the camera to the machine via the camera port.

SPORTS PERFORMER staff will give assistance in selecting a device 
appropriate to your current machinery.

Can I trial SPORTS PERFORMER?

Yes, please send an email via the contact section of this website 
stating your name and contact details, your club and position within 
the club.  A 30-day trial version will be emailed to you with 
instructions for your evaluation.

How much does SPORTS PERFORMER cost?

SPORTS PERFORMER is priced at only AU$2,500 +tax making it affordable 
to most clubs and schools.

____________________________________________

Can I run multiple versions of SPORTS PERFORMER?

SPORTS PERFORMER is priced on a per-machine basis meaning you can run 
multiple versions on a single computer.  This is applicable where you 
want to have different teams and/or sports using the software.

Subsequent SPORTS PERFORMER registrations on other machines are 
priced at 50% of full price when registering in the same name.

Will SPORTS PERFORMER run in the US where video format is NTSC?

The software is totally independent of your video format, thus making 
it possible to use all over the world.  The system needs an MPEG-1 
(.mpg) file and just how this is derived is irrelevant.

On capture, your local capture card would capture the game using the 
local encryption
