Olympic gold medallist David Faulkner MBE on how video shapes coaching conversations and feedback inside talent academies.
David Faulkner MBE, Olympic gold medallist with Team GB and former Performance Director at England Hockey, on the role video analysis plays in developing young players.
Drawing on his time as Director of Sport at Millfield and Head of Performance for the FA Women's Game, David talks through how analysis tools are used at talent academies including the South Coast Talent Academy, and what changes when players get direct access to their own footage.
The session covers the quality of coaching conversations when video is in the room, how much feedback a young player can actually use, and the practical setup behind running analysis across an academy rather than a single squad.
Relevant to academy staff, school coaches and anyone working with developing athletes.
