If you think about it, your computer may just be your MVP. Power, speed, and agility all combine to make a great athlete. With computers, it’s no different. Powerful hardware lets your computer handle any video editing task you throw at it, speedy processors get the job done quickly, and modern software gives your computer the agility to handle video from any source.

Add it all up and your computer has the potential to save you a lot of valuable time, so you can focus on the details that make or break your team’s preparation.

Coaches often turn to us for recommendations when it comes time to purchase or replace their computers. Read on for our tips on finding the right machine for your team.

The more prepared you and your film crew are before you begin filming practice or a game, the better your video will be. Preparation, regardless of the level of football you play, will keep things running smoothly. I’ve found that when I’m properly prepared and have prepped my film crew, they take more pride in the video they’re capturing and the job they have to do.

You may have other ways you get your film crew prepped and ready but this is what I’ve found works best for us.

As a two-time Big 12 Video Coordinator of the Year, we love to tap Jamie for advice about how teams can better use video to prepare to win. When we saw how amazing Colorado’s video from their spring game looked in Hudl, we had to learn more.
