SportsBoardTM Football Scout ("Scout") is a new iPad-based scouting tool that revolutionizes how Football coaches scout opponents and individual athletes.

Scout was designed by coaches for coaches, and combines the power of the iPad with sophisticated Football-specific functionality to replace the clipboard, and facilitate electronic data collection from scouting assessment events, scouting tournament events, or games involving opponents.

Toss the clipboard….use Scout instead to take notes, record voicememos, capture assessment data and take photos! Once you start using Scout, you will never go back.

Features
Scout can be used to:
•Evaluate players during tournament or other game-playing events
•Evaluate opponents playing against one another in order to identify strengths and weaknesses and developing strategy for playing against them

Scout allows coaches to:
•Rate players using pre-defined Football-specific metrics
•Define custom fields for additional data beyond the pre-defined fields
•Type notes or record voicememos about teams or individual players
•Focus on “tracked players” identified from prior research and easily identify them in the App via highlighted color
•Add newly-discovered players to “tracked players” list who were not previously identified
•Take profile pictures, photos and footage of individual players using the iPad2 camera

Benefits
•Spend more time watching the players than looking down writing notes or typing smartphone emails
•Make better scouting decisions, which optimizes time and money spent travelling to visit recruiting candidates
•Save money by not having to pay part-time clerical staff to enter data that was collected manually or with smartphone email into a spreadsheet or database
•Obtain more accurate data by not having clerical staff enter data incorrectly based on illegible notes or keyboard errors
•Save time in being able to view and analyze data collected about scouted players
•View photos of players, not just data, which synthesizes faces with names/data collected after attending many scouting events
