Personal Film Study

I’m curious how others personally watch and break down film of their own team.

My current process is pretty simple: I watch the game and take notes as I go on what I see and what I think is important. As the film unfolds, recurring themes usually start to show themselves.

The dilemma I keep running into is that early in the game I tend to take a lot of notes, and not all of those end up being worth showing to players. I worry that this can bog athletes down or blur the main teaching points.

I’ve thought about watching the film once just to identify key themes and then going back a second time to tag or note only those themes—but realistically, with my schedule, a full second watch often isn’t feasible.

So I’m interested in how others handle this: how you take notes and how you personally filter what actually gets shown to players?
