Text Messaging, Smart Recruitment Emails, and Athlete Video Tracking

Hudl Can Text Message Your Players

You asked for it. You got it. Gold and Platinum Hudl partners can now send text messages with Hudl. You just need to add your players’ mobile phone number and carrier.

The off-season is our chance to really push ahead with new features, polish existing ones, and make sure coaches can get the most out of Hudl.

Although text messaging is the marquee feature for this release, there are a number of others.

Here’s what we did:

Better Widescreen Video, Invoices, and Consistent DVD Pricing

Hudl Presenter

Last week we released an update to Hudl that included several minor (but still important) changes:

  • We added better support for widescreen video.
  • Coaches can now view and print their teams’ invoices from within Hudl.
  • We lowered the price of premium highlight DVDs to $25. All DVDs are the same price.
  • We tweaked and improved the presentation tool. We’re almost ready to take the “beta” sticker off…

Read on for the details.

Using Hudl to Give Rock Star Clinic Presentations

Now that high school and college football season has wound down, it’s time for clinic season to ramp up. For all of our coaches preparing to speak at clinics across the country, Hudl can save you some serious time and help you put together a presentation that will blow away your audience.

We just released the ability to download your presentations so you can easily give them with or without an internet connection. And, we just added the ability to use Hudl with the Smart-Pointer remote ($39 on Amazon.com), so now you can use an Xbox 360 controller or the Smart-Pointer to walk your audience through your slides and video.

Hopefully this post will give you some useful pointers on how to make a sweet clinic presentation in Hudl - a process that will be a lot easier than trying to create and present with a DVD or PowerPoint.

Trim Your Premium Highlights, Burn Highlight DVDs, and Earn Cash

Premium Highlights just got a little better.  You can now zero-in on the action by setting custom start and stop points on highlight clips.  Trim out the dead time before or after the play, or just skip right to the spot where you level the QB.

The new update in Video Editor allows coaches to download and burn highlight videos yourself.

Coaches: Earn cash from the Hudl Rewards Program by spreading the word about Hudl to other teams.  We are starting a new referral program where you can earn money by referring new schools to Hudl.  If you are happy with us and Hudl then earn some money spreading the word.

Learn Hudl Faster and Stay Up-to-Date Using Hudl’s New Support Tools

Here at Agile Sports, we spend a lot of time ensuring that our Hudl partners’ user experience is better than any other video editing system. Whether it is making sure the Video Editor walks you through the publishing process or that it is easy to create custom reports, every facet of Hudl goes through a design pass with our in-house design expert, Kyle Murphy.

As the client support manager, one of the areas that really hit home with me was our support and training tools. Our old tutorials page gave you an easy way to see our tutorials but didn’t really let you know what was fully available. So, with that in mind, our support department spent time with Kyle evaluating our tutorials and support tools to find ways to make them better than ever. The result was two new support pages: Hudl Tutorials and Hudl Support and some new tools to get you access to Hudl.

Create Recruiting Packages & Premium Highlights

The football season is nearly over. What better time to release Hudl’s new recruiting features and an improved highlight creator for athletes.

We’ve done our best to turn your off-season work into fun.

There are a slew of other new features and great updates within Hudl:

Player Stat Reports

Hudl Player Statistics Report

In our last Features & Updates post, we forgot to mention one of the bigger new features…Player Stat Reports! Now you can generate stats for players based on playlists just like you generate Down/Distance, Formation, and other reports.

Give Us All of Your Hudl Feature Requests

By now most of you have seen some of the new features we rolled out in the new released yesterday (if you haven’t check out Jon’s post about it: Team Highlights & Pages, Easy Basketball Breakdown). Over the next few days, we’ll pass along more tips about how you can best use these new features, but I wanted to take a chance to explain that shiny new Feedback button on the right-side of your Hudl menu and how you can use it to make Hudl better for you.

It’s been a month since our last release and we’ve already got another one. As always, leave us your thoughts in the comments section. Your feedback is the reason we can continue making Hudl better and better.

Here’s what’s new and changed in this release:

News from Hudl - September 2009

Choose your playback angle

Our Sept. 2009 In the Hudl Newsletter is now out.

In this month’s issue you can learn how to choose just the camera angle you want while on Hudl.com or how to exchange film through our improved escrow video exchange process. Read up on our new partnership with the Minnesota Golden Gophers or check out how a high school wrestling program in Wichita used Hudl to dominate on the mats and send their athletes off with full-ride scholarships to NCAA Division I schools.

This September release is a huge one for us. Coaches, now that your seasons are underway, we can clearly see areas in Hudl that needed attention. Thanks to you and our support department for highlighting these areas for the development team.

The big, noteworthy changes are:

Improved Hudl Packages for August ‘09

In our last release before the football season officially begins, we’re adding a huge new feature: Presentations. It’s so big, in fact, we can only offer it to our Gold and Platinum partners.

Don’t despair, Silver partners, we’ve got a bonus for you as well!
