Abstract
Hudl is a pioneer in performance analysis technology, now helping more than 200,000
teams in 40+ global sports prepare for and stay ahead of the competition. More than 6M users utilize Hudl’s best-in-class software, hardware, and services, including online coaching tools, mobile and desktop apps, smart cameras, analytics, professional consultation and more. Hudl Assist is a component within Hudl's suite of analytics products. Hudl Assist helps save coaches up to 800 hours a year by tagging meaningful moments in game video.
This year, the Design Studio team worked on adding field hockey as the tenth sport
available on Hudl Assist. The Design Studio team began by extensively researching field hockey and conducted consumer interviews with high school coaches from across the country. Using these insights, the team moved to developing a tagging workflow that allows Hudl analysts to successfully tag the moments that matter in a field hockey game. This tagging workflow allows game breakdowns that were essential for the development of the coach-facing insights module. The team crafted mockups and held customer interviews to identify the key game window for clip arrangement and the most valuable insight modules.
Drawing on feedback from internal Hudl analysts and coaches, the Design Studio team effectively created a prototype for a field hockey tagging workflow and a coach-facing interface. This prototype was then handed over to the Hudl development team for alpha testing, with the aim of assisting coaches in analyzing the moments that matter in a field hockey game.
