Seneca College Chooses MotionCoach FLeX for Sports and Gymnastics Programs
Visual coaching software FLeX from www.motioncoach.com is selected by leading Canadian College for gymnastics and varsity sports coaching.
Guelph, ON (PRWEB) April 21, 2006 -– Seneca College, located in Toronto, Ontario, joins the group of colleges using MotionCoach to teach and coach sports. Coaches at Seneca will be using advanced visual analysis technology in the training of several varsity sports.
MotionCoach is a visualization tool used by coaches and instructors to capture video of training students/athletes. Coaches can quickly overlay the video recordings with graphics to help the student understand their movement. The students acquire the technical skills more quickly, by relating the feeling of the motion to accurate visual feedback.
Lawson Hamer Assistant Head Coach of the Sport Seneca’s Women’s Artistic Gymnastics Program says: “We have a strong gymnastics program at Sport Seneca; selecting MotionCoach puts us on an even better technology footing and assists us in our program mandate which is to continually produce athletes for the Canadian National Team and to compete with the best in the world. We like it for its strong feature list and easy operation that will save the staff hours of work.”
Sport Seneca purchased complete MotionCoach MX computer/camera/software solutions, including the tablet solution, which combines a powerful computer with mounted camera in a small package no bigger than, a standard clipboard. The computer is light enough to be carried all day, and also has wireless internet connectivity so the coach can capture/analyze and e-mail a video clip to a coaching student or varsity athlete in under 2 minutes while standing in the gym.
The unique FleX education pricing structure makes MotionCoach the affordable solution to equip each student on a term-by-term basis. FleX allows the school to affordably place advanced visualization technology in students’ hands at a very early stage of their careers.
Instructors can issue a video as homework, students can perform a visual analysis, and return the work demonstrating if they understood the class lecture material. Because students and instructors use the same software, with the same powerful level of functionality, exchanging ideas and information becomes easy.
MotionCoach’s advanced Internet integration supports and enables this connectivity via standard Internet protocols with no additional cost or service fees. MotionCoach additionally includes support for popular Micro USB drives, CDs and LAN networks.
James Alexander, MotionCoach Customer Communication Director, is pleased to start involvement at Seneca College. “We have been involved with gymnastics and dance in the UK for some time. This has given our technology people time to refine the software for the special activities required by these sports.”
