Project Overview
Awardee: Sarah Queener, Assistant Professor of Physical Education and Women’s Lacrosse Coach
Title: Spiideo Video Analysis
Goal: To implement the use of Spiideo, a video recording solution, to enhance the teaching and learning of lacrosse classes
Project Description
Looking for the lacrosse teams to compete nationally, Sarah Queener applied her Hahn funds to the purchase of the Spiideo video system to support 35+ players and coaches. Spiideo offers a complete video recording, analysis, and streaming solution that the varsity teams and classes now utilize on a daily basis. The cameras enable the teams to capture all of their practices, classes, and games using fixed cameras with virtual panorama and multi-angle recording. They no longer require a cameraperson to film and can control everything from a phone/computer app. Furthermore, because Spiideo is cloud-based, there are no local servers involved.
There is a large performance analysis boost to using this system. We can use GPS and optical player tracking and activity data import, so we can use our catapult system with this, which is extra exciting for us!

Project Outcomes
Spiideo is much more than recording software. It has empowered the lacrosse teams to tag live and post games, call up on-demand film to use during timeouts and halftime, create professional presentations with telestrator drawings and tracking, share via automatic filtering, and, of course, help student-athletes understand concepts and plays. Players can even tag practices and games so they can track their own progress throughout the season, giving them more agency over their learning.
The Spiideo recordings have already proven a successful educational tool for the lacrosse teams with student-athletes studying films of themselves from both practice and games. The panorama and end line views have added a new level of value to the team’s recordings, too, as they have never had access to a behind-the-goal angle prior to the Spiideo implementation.
Queener and the teams are also pleased to share their advancements with family and friends from all over the world now that they are producing reliable, quality live streams and recordings.
