National Champion Basketball Coach Scores with Landro® Play Analyzer
Cal U coach uses video to reinforce success, noting “nothing builds confidence quicker than seeing yourself get better.”
Greenburg, PA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) January 13, 2005 -- Arriving at California University of
Pennsylvania in July 2000, after just four years, Head Basketball Coach Darcie
Vincent has compiled an amazing 112-19 record and possesses an 85% winning
percentage. Last year she met her aspirations to coach her new team into a
National Championship. Coach Vincent recognizes the necessity of before game
preparation, and this year has recruited the Landro Play Analyzer to enhance her
game strategy.
“It’s all about being prepared,”
says Vincent, “I put a lot of emphasis on getting ready and doing whatever it
takes; video preparation plays a big part.”
Manufactured by IRIS
Technologies, the Landro is a digital “play analysis” tool used to study game
videos. Though it has been a hit with football coaches, the Landro now offers
basketball coaches the same play analysis capabilities as their counterparts.
This revolutionary device allows coaches to analyze their plays, study player
technique and expose opponent’s tendencies 100 times faster and without the
inconvenience associated with video tape. The Landro® system is easy to use and
is quickly becoming a fundamental tool in gaming strategy across
America.
“Landro gives coaches the opportunity to analyze plays with
their team over and over without the miserable hassles of videotape,” explains
Jerry Salandro, inventor of the technology and a ‘70’s Cal U grad. “Research
shows that repetition is the mother of skill. Landro gives coaches control of
their video – it helps them make players smarter faster.”
Since putting
the tool to use at Cal U, Coach Vincent agrees. “When I’m reviewing tape with
players, seeing it again and again is what makes a difference. With Landro I can
do that over and over without ever rewinding, I just hit one button and there it
is again and again.” Coach Vincent claims that her players’ preparation habits
have changed as well. “Now they’ll pop in on their own for 15 minutes to watch
video because they know that in just a couple seconds they can see individual
strength, progress, or simply things they want to work on.”
Coaches have
remarked that using Landro play analyzer greatly reduces their preparation
sessions, enabling them to focus more time on practice. Landro’s time saving
abilities are a perfect fit for the fast-paced schedule of the basketball
season, assuring preparation time is spent in an exceptional and productive way.
“We have always watched video before practice,” explains Coach Vincent.
“For the first time, my players are relating what they saw in the video session
to the actual practice session and they can literally see themselves getting
better. It’s a huge confidence builder.”
