Our Philosophy

Video based statistical analysis is a great potential resource for all GAA clubs. The key words here are "potential" and "all". Our experience has involved recording and analysing hundreds of matches for all levels of Gaelic Games from Underage Development squads to All Ireland winning teams. This has given us a clear perspective on how best to provide the optimum platform for coaches to get the messages they want to communicate to their players, whether individually or collectively.

From experience and feedback we know a coach wants to focus on the relevant statistics and passages of play from the match. A picture is worth a thousand words. The coach does not need the entire match to be played back, paused, discussed, fast forwarded and so on. This is the old way which is time consuming and laborious. That day has gone. The alternative is better and it is here now. Once it is experienced no coach will want to go back. There is no use telling your players they had 18 wides or 14 lost kick outs the last day without understanding why that happened. That's just data masquerading as the match statistics. Players learn and improve far more quickly if they can see the actual footage where they did something well (or not). They then have the basis for improvement.

Time can work against a coach. They need to productively use the attention and focus of players on their coaching message. When coaches have a match recording they want to cut straight to the chase, make a note on the relevant event, show only those events or clips to players to make their point. The statistics of the matches only have meaning when they are linked to video clips that are immediately accessible to the coach. Saving time and helping the coach with video analysis is what SidelineEye is all about. This is unlocking the potential of Match Video Analysis.

We believe that top class effective analysis should be both simple to use and affordable to teams and clubs of all standard and size. It should not be the preserve of the elite counties and clubs that aspire to winning All Ireland, Provincial and County Championships. Small clubs, lower division teams, under age sides, boys and girls all want to improve, all want to play and all want to win. Their coaches want this too. The evolution of video based match statistical analysis has provided this to meet the current and future needs of the development of Gaelic Games Coaching. This is what SideLineEye is all about. This is unlocking the potential of Match Video Analysis.
