Okay.
-- -- -- of your fox -- take if you're an NFL fan or college football and no doubt you've seen.
All of those coaches on the sidelines with a binders filled with paper as they poring over the different plays strategies for the game.
Well now that's all about to go digital.
And the man behind the company global aptitude it's about to change the way we watch the NFL college football is here with me to talk about Randy nice to see -- -- welcomed with Richard thank you.
So you guys came up with the concept to use ipads.
To basically streamline the process that coaches and players go through tell us about it.
Yeah basically.
Two years ago we were approached by the Baltimore Ravens to.
Eliminate the need to cram seventy plus five and 600 page -- -- on a weekly basis there were strictly looking at it as a measure to improve player communication.
And save money on pregnancy trees.
So right now there are eight teams in the NFL that are currently using.
This act that's the strategy do you think that it gives them a competitive advantage.
Oh absolutely.
And talking with the coaches and that's really the video and operations folks that we work with.
We've learned that the players really like the medium that we presented the materials on to the point that they actually spend more time studying video than they did before.
So strategy watching the game.
Previous video tape of other teams -- you can prepare for the next game hitting play seeing the play right there on the screen says sitting in the film room like they used to do.
There on a regular basis and in addition that we can take all of the data.
That comes with that so in the old days you would have to go to affecting.
You'd have to ask them you know I wanna see all the third down plays from my -- -- across the last four weeks.
Fought hard technology can actually do that right there -- -- this is your bookshelf which is world your playbook and game plans and scouting report files and show up.
-- seventeen calendar to -- all players and coaches on the same schedule you can administer quizzes here.
With video content -- picture finals or just straight -- So the idea here obviously this is and when you -- football team but.
You might be watching pre snap alignments and calling out the Mike are calling up a blitzer and they are asked to answer question.
Similarly here you can actually -- of video -- Here quiz to you -- do practice film on here and ask about blocking assignments -- other.
You're on currency among so essentially this is what replaces the big 50600.
Page playbook -- OK so it operates much like an -- -- What operate to simply swipe across to change your pages.
We have a writing tool here.
Which you can.
Highlight tax.
Or you can draw your own.
Stuff you -- our own lines on here we have a Little Richard -- I can also take notes right on this page.
So again I'm requirement meaning there something I mean take note of I can just -- away here.
When I have say this time I actually hide it because covering up half page but again we give me that green indicator -- -- -- -- the notes were taken.
And last thing we've done in this is a real game changer for player preparation.
If I'm a new player or someone I'm trying to learn an assignment here or maybe put in a new installing new blitz package or you know new play of some sort.
You can start tagging video content now.
To these place.
OK so this will be practice film where this could be your team executing this place successfully during -- game.
But the idea here is I'm reading the play -- may or may not understand lines on the page some of these players are more visual learners and others.
And -- -- given the ability to visualize that by adding a video clip.
So this is our full video player so this is where a player -- go to view full game film typically -- watching.
The last four games of your upcoming opponent or something like that.
You know -- some of these have green down -- errors and some don't we give you the ability to stream this content.
From the cloud as well as download it to me wanna download video -- hopping on the train or plane or something.
But for most -- industry and your video and you don't have to fill -- -- on our.
Linemen typically only to see the end zone -- -- him a -- filter on that.
And so now you simply swipe from played at play here like this but what it across if you filter out all the silent -- -- at the end -- Let's say it also on -- coach and -- caught something in this alignment that I wanna know.
I can enable my -- here.
I go ahead and draw right on the screen John -- -- And unique thing about the solution is -- with the cost of our software subscription.
And the price of going out buying ipads a typical NFL team by 120 of them.
They will save money and by your two and then every year after their saving 4050000 dollars a year and -- Pretty itself yet that it really is an -- -- So there you have it nice to see you -- any criticism of -- to be an application that you only have about eight teams using.
I have a weird feeling that in the next few years you see every NFL team using this.
If you have any questions about -- softly don't respond on Twitter at Clayton Morris until next time.
Okay.
