Description
Football is one of the most popular sports in the United States, and as such, coaches from youth leagues right up to high schools and beyond are more often seeking quality videotape so they can break down the film, evaluate players and strategize for future opponents. The problem is, there are not enough talented videographers to record their games professionally. Sure, anyone with an iPad can pan back and forth to follow the action, but that method sorely misses the details in player identification and following the action closely enough, and it also lacks context such as penalties and down and distance. Plus, what do you do if you have no elevation to shoot from, or if it rains?
