I don't know much about US sport but for those outside the World Series  -
Does Shane Warne (arguably the best bowler in world cricket) use video to check his arm and wrist position.
Does Ronaldinho (arguably the best footballer in the world) use video to hone his tricks.
Did Jonny Wilkinson (who made me so happy that November morning) use video before he kicked England to Rugby World Cup glory?
The answer is ofcourse NO. So why do we?
I did once and it showed me all my flaws.
Did it improve my game. Not one iota. |
Actually video is being used more and more in sport and I know for a fact that Sir Clive Woodward is a big fan of using video for training methods. I have heard that Gareth Bale at Southampton uses a video playback screen when practicing free kicks, so he can see why a shot went over or wide straight away and not have to rely on trial and error. He has scored 2 beauties, and hit the post with another effort already this year (3 games played).
