The Calgary Stampeders are advancing the sport by giving coaches the video they need to improve theirΒ teams.
It started in 2005, when Ross Folan noticed that a high school coach didnβt have adequate cameras to record his games. As the Director of Video Operations for the Calgary Stampeders, Folan had access to excellent equipment and decided to help the localΒ school.
That simple generosity blossomed into somethingΒ incredible.
Calgary now records each game for the cityβs 21 high schools (40 teams total including junior varsity) and providesΒ a Hudl accountΒ for each school. They even break down the games, saving coaches time while giving them incredible information and video previously unavailable to them.
βItβs about us giving back to grassroots football,β Ross said. βWe feel itβs a perfect tool for the high schools to maximize the coaching staffs and the players and their opportunities. They absolutely love it. From beginning to end, we film every single game. We put it on the cloud for them. We try and give as much as we can so they can concentrate onΒ football.
βHudl makes that possible. There is no way you could do this with a differentΒ software.β
