Shawn shares invaluable insights on how this product helps identify discrepancies between practice and game performance, allowing coaches to tailor training sessions more effectively. "The more informed you can be, the better," says James.

He explains how understanding shot load can reveal why a player excels in practice but struggles under game pressure. Implementing such advanced technology comes with challenges, especially for smaller programs. Shawn discusses the budget considerations but emphasizes the significant competitive edge it provides. "If you can do it, it's something I would highly, highly recommend," he advises.

Coach James also talks about the practicality of the software for smaller coaching staffs, highlighting how it automates tasks and frees up time for critical areas like recruitment and strategy development.
