I am an Academy Director at an European Club
Sideline Sports has developed an effective
solution for the academy director. With the duties of
the coach in mind, let's review the aspects that many
academy directors have in common.
1. Need to be able to distribute
educational material to coaches or players.
With Sideline Organizer you can send
files in e-mail or burned on CDs that contain text,
images, diagrams, animations, and video. This can be
material like drills, tactics, scouting reports, feedback
files, etc.
2. Need to be able to have
an overview of the work the coaches are doing
When you create practice plans or
master plans in Sideline Organizer, you can send them
in e-mail with a single click of the mouse in addition
to sending statistical information about the volume
of the different aspects of coaching. A coach can send
the academy director pie charts, bar charts or time
series that show exactly what is happening in the coaching.
With Sideline Video Analyzer, you
can get a detailed analysis of the individual parts
of games or the whole season.
By using these tools to help him get
an overview of the coaching, the academy director gains
better control and more information, in order to be
able to step in and help when he finds it necessary.
It multiplies the efficiency of his job.
3. Need to be able to define
the goals of the coaching
By using the master plan in Sideline
Organizer, you can create a detailed and exact teaching
and coaching plan.
4. Need to be able to get
an assessment of preparation and performance
Like we said before, it's easy to
hand over records and statistics of what happened in
practices and in games. This is important for new coaches
coming into a program and receiving a group of athletes.
Now these coaches can access information of what has
been taught before and what the empasis has been. It's
also important that this information is available when
academy directors want to to verify the reasons for
good or bad results in coaching.
5. Need to ensure that coaches
are organized and effective in their coaching.
As an academy director, you cannot
do a coach a better favor, than to give him access to
the products from Sideline Sports. We have thousands
of users and the feedback is always the same:
- "When I first saw it, I didn't
believe I could be taught how to use it, but when
I look back, it was incredibly easy to adapt to the
technology"
- "My job as a coach is without doubt
more fulfilling, because my work has become more efficient
and been raised to another level. I feel as I'm cheating"
- "I have no idea of how I was able
to coach before I started to use Sideline Organizer."
6. Need to ensure that coaching
records are returned to the club.
With a single mouse click, you can
take a backup of the coaching record of a coach. In
the same way it can be restored. That way, you can in
one program, view information about many years of seasons,
gaining access to detailed information about the coaching.
Here are promises we make
to the academy director.
Your coaches
- Don't need to be computer geeks
to use our software.
- Will become lifetime learners,
being able to store their lifetime observation.
- Can use a regular notebook or desktop
computer, to do what you want.

effective visual teaching material with the best teaching
software available today.

video and old documents, like binders of practice
plans, and store it all in one computer. Making their

- Will take their communication to
another level, being able to individualize their coaching
without having to spend extra time doing it.
