Video Analysis & Player Development


Integrated Coaching & Match Insight


At Centred Coaching, video analysis is used to support development, not overwhelm it.


As a UEFA licensed coach and PFSA Level 3 Performance Analyst, I combine on-pitch coaching with match and training analysis to help players better understand what, why and how they are performing.


Using an xBot Go automated camera, I capture full-pitch footage that allows players to see the game as it truly unfolds, their positioning, movement, decisions and understanding not just isolated moments on the ball.


This creates clarity, confidence and purposeful improvement.


How Video Analysis Is Used


Video analysis is always:

  • Age-appropriate

  • Role-specific

  • Linked directly to coaching themes

  • Focused on learning, not criticism


Rather than highlighting everything, I carefully select key moments that best support a player’s development.


The aim is to reinforce good habits, highlight learning opportunities and build football intelligence. Players are encouraged to see the game, not fear it.


What the xBot Go Adds


The xBot Go camera allows for:

  • Full-pitch tactical context

  • Clear understanding of positioning and spacing

  • Consistent footage across matches or sessions

  • Visual learning that complements coaching discussions


This is particularly valuable for:

  • Young players developing game understanding

  • Players stepping up a level

  • Those who benefit from visual learning

  • Trial or confidence preparation


Integrated With Coaching


Video analysis is most powerful when it supports coaching, not replaces it.


Where appropriate, clips are:

  • Used to inform upcoming sessions

  • Referenced during on-pitch work

  • Linked to simple, clear development goals

This ensures players don’t just see the game, they play it better.


Who This Is For


Video analysis is suitable for:

  • Young players who want to improve their understanding of the game

  • Players seeking clarity around their role or position

  • Parents looking for structured, meaningful development

  • Players preparing fortrials or transitions

  • Teams or individuals wanting a more joined-up approach


No two players receive the same analysis, everything is tailored.


My Approach

  • UEFA licensed coach

  • PFSA Level 3 Performance Analyst (100% pass mark)

  • Player-centred and development-focused

  • Calm, supportive, and honest

  • Grounded in real coaching environments


Analysis is never about labels or judgement, it’s about helping players grow.

“A big thank you, Andy (Centred Coaching) for the 1:1 sessions with my daughter over the past week. After a difficult season for various reasons including injury, we hoped to bring the joy and confidence back for her and that’s exactly what Andy did. With a personalised training plan that could be adapted to suit knee injury and enthusiasm and support right from the start, she thoroughly enjoyed her time, has grown in confidence and has a clear plan for progression. She is looking forward to seeing you again! Thank you!."
