The analysis of coach behaviour using information and communications
technology has become an established area of research. Advances in the
application of information technology have lead to analysis systems for sports
being integrated with match video allowing interactive video feedback to be
provided in an efficient and flexible manner. Commercial video analysis
packages are not only useful for analysing player behaviour in sport, but can also
be used to analyse coach behaviour. The purpose of the current exercise was to
implement a coach behaviour analysis system using the DartfishTM package to
allow a netball coach’s behaviour to be analysed so that the quantitative
breakdown of the coach’s behaviour could be supported by video sequences of
examples of behaviours of interest within a process of reflective practice. A split
screen video displaying a close up view of the coach as well as a wider view of
the coaching session was analysed. The coach found the video sequence feedback
to be more useful than the quantitative information produced. The specific phases
of reflective practice where the system could provide the most benefit are issue
identification, experimentation and evaluation.
