CEO Claims Athletic Performance Enhancing Technology as Effective as Steroids
Hundreds of college, university and high school coaches have given Landro® play analysis technology the green light to build smarter athletes.
Greensburg, PA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) April 20, 2005 -- Jerry Salandro, CEO and inventor of the Landro®
play analyzer, claims his new technology can be just as effective as steroids to
prep players for the game. Gaining wide recognition in sports programs across
the country, the Landro allows coaches tape-less access to up to 20,000 video
clips in less than a second. Studying game video has long been accepted as a key
to building better programs; professional sports teams and coaches have used the
strategy since the days of film projectors. While the methods used are often
complicated and laborious, Landro is 100 times faster than traditional VCRs,
tape or video editing systems.
As for the claim that this new technology
can be as effective in sports as the controversial usage of steroids, Salandro
commented, "Despite being illegal as well as dangerous, athletes continue to
abuse these substances because they believe they'll become stronger faster.
Landro uses proven teaching technology to make players smarter faster and it's
legal. It’s a positive approach instead of a negative one. I've not met a coach
yet who would prefer a stronger player over a smarter one."
A former high
school teacher and coach, Salandro explained why he felt a change was needed in
the game strategy and play analysis arena. "I was constantly frustrated with
using video as a teaching tool because of the miserable hassles of tape. Rewind,
fast-forward, pause, eject – it all kept me from using video, even though it has
been proven the most effective tool for teaching in a way that makes kids
remember."
Referring to studies that show using video increases a
student’s retention by 70%, Salandro harnessed this power to help create better
athletes. "Viewing performance reinforces good technique and corrects bad--this
is true for teaching anything, from science to music," he explained. "We took
the technology to football coaches first because they know the value of studying
video repeatedly. When they can review technique and then practice what they
see, they find they are building smarter players faster."
The Landro
website www.landro.com is
filled with testimonials from coaches around the country who claim that Landro
has helped them win more games and receive more scholarships for their student
athletes. The company is currently branching out to other sports and educational
markets. Landro play analyzer is being used in colleges and universities for
video analysis in counselor training and speech pathology and has recently been
installed at the Pentagon to analyze news footage of the war in
Iraq.
