In an article from Kazmar, he touches on some of the reasons why Fort Osage has really latched onto the software. The Indians are 9-0 this season and poised to do some damage in the playoffs.

Under  • Coaching & Athletics

Former Husker quarterback Joe Ganz will be using Hudl Pro again tonight on Big Red Wrap-Up to break down one of the touchdowns from last Saturday’s Nebraska-Texas Tech football game.

The show will air statewide in Nebraska at 7 p.m. CT on NET and will also be available live online. This is the third week Ganz has used Hudl to break down a key play for Husker fans - following the Virginia Tech game in September, Ganz highlighted a key block that led to one of running back Roy Helu’s biggest runs of the game, and following the Missouri game Ganz highlighted a key touchdown pass to Niles Paul.

Under  • Coaching & Athletics

Forty-five Kansas football programs have gotten in the Hudl this season, taking the way they connect with players to a new level.

Players are used to being tapped in - from Twitter to texting - constantly throughout their day. These coaches know connecting with players off the field in a way they find familiar and engaging is the best way to keep their attention and - most importantly - get them to retain the information.

Using Text Messaging and Email to make Hudl an Uber Coaching Machine

Posted October 14, 2009 by John Wirtz
Under  • Tips & Tricks  • Coaching & Athletics

We love hearing coaches telling us that Hudl has helped their athletes watch more video, learn more from it, and really enjoy doing it. Ultimately, that’s what Hudl is all about - helping athletes improve. We’ve heard of athletes watching the game together at Hudl pizza parties, texting coaches as soon as they get home asking when practice video will be on Hudl, and creating and sharing their own video notes to teammates to highlight an opponent’s weakness. We’ve recently seen a handful of coaches go a step further in Hudl and use text messages and email combined with Hudl video notes in pretty creative ways to get their teams even more engaged in learning off the field.

Last week we pulled our “Get in the Hudl…” tweets off Twitter (if you are not following us currently check us out). We have really enjoyed adding a lot of teams to Hudl over the summer and we realized that our tweets had started dominating some people’s Twitter feeds.

We love being able to broadcast our newest partners (and we got some feedback from current Hudl partners asking us to continue this) so we are planning to post on this blog weekly with the newest teams that are in the Hudl. This way you can know which teams in your area are available for you to use our awesome new film exchange to trade film with.

In the Hudl: Helping the 3-0 Jets Dominate the Game

Posted October 01, 2009 by David Graff
Under  • Coaching & Athletics

Those of you who follow us on Twitter may have seen our tweets the other weekend from the New York Jets-New England Patriots game at the Meadowlands. Matt Mueller (our Client Support Manager who many of you have probably spoken with on the phone) and I both attended the game and witnessed what was the loudest and most energetic crowd I have ever seen at the Meadowlands (a claim many Jets coaches backed up).

It has been awesome to see many of our Hudl Pro partners have a great start to the season. The Jets are currently sitting at 3-0 heading into this week’s game with the New Orleans Saints, and new head coach Rex Ryan and rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez are having awesome starts with their new team.
