FW: Special Invitation from Softball Ontario for Competitive Coaches

[Al's Fastball News]

Hello Al!

I hope you had a great 2011 Softball Season!  Now that things
from last season have wrapped up and you're preparing for 2012,
I have a great opportunity that I'd like to bring to your attention!
 
Are you coaching a competitive level softball team?  Would you
be interested in bringing your team to the next level with Olympic-calibre
software at a rock bottom price?

If you answered yes to either of these questions Softball Ontario
has a great opportunity for your Softball Association to purchase
Dartfish at adiscounted rate on the Dartfish TeamPro v6.0 software
package. Softball Ontario with your help would like to bring
the game of softball to the next level with the use of video
analysis. Video analysis is a procedure in which a videotaped
softball skill is analyzed using a frame-by-frame inspection
of footage. Dartfish is the world’s best software program which
assists in the analysis by allowing a Softball Coach to:

Highlight key points of interest by selecting and noting key
moments within the skill 
Add audio comments, text and drawing to selected key positions

Play reference video with key positions and notations to compare
with other videos 
Synchronize two different videos to play together 
Publish videos, key positions, drawings and annotations and voice
over 
Softball Coaches will be able to take a video clip of a Pitcher,
Hitter or Fielder (or a softball player doing any softball skill)
and analyze it and be able to return the clip to the player with
detailed analysis format called a Media Book.

Dartfish Software is a tremendous tool for any Softball Coach
wanting the help themselves and their players learn through the
use of video technology.  This program allows an easy transfer
of footage from the video camera to a personal computer.  Dartfish
allows a Coach to play a clip of a skill in regular speed, any
number of slow motion speeds and it can advance a clip by clip
frame.
Beyond that, a Coach will have the ability to look at two video
clips side-by-side or top-and-bottom, or up to 4 different video
clips at the same time.  Plus, a Coach can draw lines on the
screen, or magnify a certain part of a clip and even add a trail
of softballs to visually track the motion.

Samples of what Dartfish can do:


Softball trail 
Side-by-Side Comparison with Magnification 
Video Overlay 

How the Software works: 
A Softball Coach would use a video camera and film their athlete

Record each athlete’s footage to a video tape/dvd  or connect
the video camera to a personal computer 
Once each video was received, the user would then create a video
library 
Compare swings, pitching and fielding mechanics to previous clips
and reference clips 
Deliver the analysis to players, parents and fans 
Key features of the Software include: 
Side by Side comparisons 
Angle measurements 
Timing measurements 
Zone for micro analysis (e.g. hand or foot positions)

innovative coaching tool for $1075.00 (Cdn) plus HST.  Please
