Grasshopper Club Zürich enjoys Spiideo in their everyday work with video analysis
With 27 titles, Grasshopper Club Zürich holds the record for winning the most national championship titles in Switzerland, and for having the most successes in the Swiss Cup. The Zürich based club built their current performance center back in 2005 with 5 pitches, where 4 pitches are equipped with the Spiideo system for live and post match/training video analysis.
When Grasshopper CZ began looking for a system to upgrade their capabilities for advanced football video recording and analysis they made very detailed research for the best and most suitable solution.
Another big issue that only Spiideo was able to solve for Grasshopper CZ, was simultaneous recording at all the pitches. Grasshopper CZ can now see all their activities live on the different pitches at the same time.
The process of analysis became much more efficient once Grasshopper CZ started using Spiideo. As a coach, you can tag special events and sequences live during the match/training and show the player immediately. This was not the case before Spiideo when the process was very slow and time-consuming. The coaches at Grasshopper CZ had to record the practice manually with a camcorder, then upload it to a computer after the practice. Not until after that process was complete, it was possible to start analyzing the material in detail.
With Spiideo, Grasshopper CZ now has many new possibilities for deep analysis. With the system, you can always see the whole pitch. It also provides video from different angles when needed. For instance, on the match pitch, Grasshopper CZ has two goal cameras behind each goal, which they use frequently. These allow the goalkeeper coach to see all important angles needed to improve the goalkeeper feedback, and how he positions and moves in relation to the rest of the team.
Grasshopper CZ is also using Spiideo every day for the youth teams playing on the training ground.
For Grasshopper CZ, one important factor in the selection process for a new video analysis solution was to find a provider that also could provide a good partnership / collaborative relationship.
