Video analysis used to need a performance department. A phone, a clear drill design and consistent metrics now get academies most of the way.
Measure fewer things, consistently
Choose three or four metrics per skill and capture them the same way every session. Trends across weeks matter more than any single reading.
Feedback inside the session
Feedback that arrives while the athlete can still repeat the movement changes behaviour. Reports that arrive a week later mostly inform the coach.
Protect young athletes' data
Get guardian consent, limit who can view video, and set a retention period. Trust from parents is the foundation of an academy programme.
