Why Video

Video analysis has become a pivotal component to cricket coaching in modern day cricket. It is being used in the International arena right the way down in grass roots cricket.

Video assessment can provide details on bowling actions and to help identify any techniques that may cause injury in the future. Bowlers actions can be modified to produce less stress on certain areas of the body after the remedial action has been under taken a second assessment can be produced and both compared to see if improvements have been made.

Training sessions can be videoed and analysed to provide feedback not only to the performer but his/her coaches as well. This will enable coaches to monitor the progress that is being made by the player and to see whether there are any areas of concern that need to be addressed.

'Knowledge about the proficiency with which athletes perform a skill is critical to the learning process and in certain circumstances a failure to provide such knowledge may even prevent learning from taking place’…’precise information about the produced action will yield significantly more benefits for the athletes than feedback that is imprecise’….’clearly, the use of video or film has the potential to provide such feedback’. Hughes and Franks.

Thus a library of shots and performance can be accessed by the player and coach to address further learning and provide all concerned with vital feed back.

Observation forms a vital part of any coaching process. Traditionally coaches have relied upon memory to recall past events. Recent technological development in video analysis has enabled coaches to more accurately assess players’ needs. In order to improve/enhance performance, coaches need to analyse skills and knowledge of players and compare to an ideal technical model. However, it is almost impossible to accurately recall all the key issues and points during a game or practice: Football coaches, after watching a 45 minute session, are less than 45 per cent correct in their post match assessment of the game. It is only through the collection and consideration of such data that effective planning can take place and an appropriate coaching programme devised.

It is suggested that video feedback can be a very powerful tool when used to increase players’ skill level and knowledge, players watching their own performance on videotape cannot regulate the feedback that they receive. In some cases the information might exceed their ability to process the information. For example, with very young athletes or very inexperienced athletes who might not have the skill or understanding required to apply the information. It is therefore imperative that the coach identifies relevant information, and points out the key areas of the performance to the player that are technically correct or any areas that need technical modification.
