What is happening at the academy – Post Match Analysis

Head of Football, Sam, goes through post match analysis with the players after a recent fixture.
The VEO camera’s cutting edge technology allows our coaches to provide targeted feedback, addressing tactical nuances and guiding the team towards improvement.
The VEO camera sits atop a 3-meter-high tripod. It tracks the ball and captures the dynamic play on the field. When watching playback the VEO system allows you to pause the action at strategic moments, overlay a grid for insightful zonal analysis, and utilize zoom functionality to focus on specific phases of play.
At IH Manchester, we bring you a game-changing tool for detailed performance analysis, combining our passion for language education with footballing excellence.
