With a squad built on experience, the University of Utah’s women’s soccer team heads into the 2025-26 campaign with a clear goal: securing a spot in the NCAA Division I Championship to compete against the top teams in women’s college soccer.

With a senior-heavy starting line-up and momentum from a strong finish to last season, having secured points in eight of their final ten games, the Utah Utes have a team capable of competing. But staying sharp in the demanding Big-12 Conference requires more than experience.

With a packed schedule, the Utes’ coaching staff leans on Spiideo Perform — and Spiideo’s automated game data breakdown tool, AutoData — to keep pace. Providing an efficient and effective video analysis solution, coaches can deliver timely insights and match-winning feedback to keep the squad at the top of its game.

Playing two games every week, video analysis is a daily fixture for the Utes.

Mondays — the league’s mandated rest day for players — are among the busiest for the team’s coaching staff. Often spending eight to ten hours watching back footage, the team breaks down Sunday’s match and prepares clips to guide the week’s training sessions. By Tuesday, the coaching team begins to send personalized visual feedback to players, highlighting what they did well and where there’s room for improvement. Likewise, in the days leading up to a game, assistant coach Travis Smith shares scouting reports on the next opponent.

These insights are curated and delivered through Spiideo’s powerful presentation tools. In this collaborative environment, coaches can create tailored slideshows, which are automatically synchronized and stored in the cloud, allowing effortless sharing.

Clips can be enhanced with advanced drawing tools, including dynamic markers and spotlights that track individuals around the pitch, and data overlays that offer critical context, allowing coaches to pinpoint key moments, keep the young squad engaged, and ensure
feedback hits the mark.

Short on time and operating with limited resources, the Utah Utes use AutoData — Spiideo’s automated data breakdown solution — to streamline their analysis process further. Whether captured through a Spiideo camera or an external source, game footage is transformed into comprehensive team and player statistics by a trained professional in under 24 hours.

By eliminating the need for manual tagging and clipping, AutoData allows coaching staff to spend less time reviewing footage and instead focus on tweaking tactics and delivering feedback. With just a click, coaches can instantly jump to that exact moment in the recording, finding the key moments in a game without any of the legwork.

This data also unlocks game-changing visualizations. Passing network maps, for instance, offer a clear view of where the opposition found success and where Utah’s defensive structure held firm — helping staff validate their game plan and better prepare for the next fixture.
