An Auto-Tracking Camera For Basketball That Makes Coaching Easier
Hudl Focus Indoor is the only camera that comes with complete Hudl integration. This means your basketball games and practices are automatically recorded and uploaded to Hudl, saving you time to focus on what matters most—developing your players.
“Focus enables us to evaluate and break down our practices in the same way we do our games, which is a really valuable tool, both from a coaching perspective and for teaching the kids,” said Cara Doyle, basketball coach at Saint Ignatius College Prep.
“And as a head coach, you're getting ready for a game and the last thing you want to do is make sure you have someone to film the game, or you're worried about it, or you're asking your assistant coach to go ask someone they know in the stands to do it,” she said.
“To have that all set and know all you have to do is press a button on your phone and you're covered, it really makes your game day preparation a lot easier.”
