Build a Scouting Report in 60s with Hudl's new Prompt Reports
We're starting to release a way for coaches to create reports by typing in the analysis they want
Hudl will build a report with visuals & text insights all linked to video
DM me for access, we need your feedback!

Titan data inside Hudl changed how we prep at @PlatteviewFB and @platteview_sc. Top speeds, player loads, distances right next to the film.
Here’s how we’re using it to build practice plans and track player load all season. 📊👇

Sean McDermott reveals after he was fired by the the Bills, he went back to people inside the organization and asked them to tell him the truths during his tenure that never made it to the top of the food chain so he could learn and grow
“When you’re a head coach or a leader of any sort, you don’t always get this space to just live life and to reflect. I’ve been reflecting on my journey in Buffalo. The good things, the things I’d like to do differently in the next go-around.”
“Doing some other types of reflection as well, which is asking other people and sort of a blind-spot type of exercise. People in the building in Buffalo who I respect. Because sometimes as a head coach, not everything gets to the top of the food chain. Every story. Every truth. So just going back and probing because, I want to know. I want to know what I don’t know.”
“It hit me between the eyes. Hey, sharing more of myself. Sharing more of who Sean really is. From a personal level, dropping my guard a little bit and really just showing them my true self as a person. I think that just comes from getting so focused on the job and the task at hand.”

This week’s player to watch: @NDFootball RB Aneyas Williams. 👀🔥
Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price are off to the NFL, which means Williams is the next man up.
Small sample size, but he delivered in limited action last season.
Behind a loaded o-line, Williams could burst onto the scene with a strong performance against Wisconsin.

Know we’re getting close to game time but we’re dropping one more update to data entry…
Quick Edit is BACK! Click on data in the clip overlay and edit right from there, works in fullscreen too!
Annnnd now you can multi sort in the grid as well!
Cmd/Cntrl + Click on a column header to enable multi sort so that you can do things like sort by Down then Distance then Play Type
Try out Click +Drag to Paste and Cmd/Cntrl + Z to Undo in the grid
This is our first step towards full copy/paste/undo functionality

This is the ideal passing heatmap. Extra Credit for anyone who can guess this team.

I’m excited to announce our partnership w/ Hudl—accelerating how GMs build more competitive, cost-efficient football rosters.
@HudlIQ's best-in-class data now gives college Front Offices real-time sync between athlete performance, valuation, and roster spend in @DropbackHQ 🧵👇
Wanted to highlight some of the awesome new Reports functionality we've brought to Hudl
🔸Interactive Insights and Reports next to video
🔸12 familiar Reports like Boxscore and Down/Distance
🔸AI-powered Reports that allow you to type in the analysis you want and get back key takeaways and visuals
Check it out and drop us your feedback!
A coach said he'd drive to Lincoln and fight us if we took away Classic from football coaches.
Finally, I think I can talk him out of it...as you'll see in the thread, Classic workflows and layouts are back, and a lot more.
I've coached all 16 years I've worked at Hudl. High school HC, college OC at an NAIA school. I live football like you do. I tried using the new Hudl exclusively during spring ball and couldn't. Tough look.
I know every click costs time. Time is whether I get to do bedtime with my kid or I'm eating dinner at my desk. So I made a list. Every detail that kept me from doing my job. The team took it seriously.
I told them I was ready to go back to Classic and never look back.
This weekend, I gave Hudl another go. For the first time in a long time, I'm fired up to use it this fall.
Our team fixed a ton of the flows coaches love in Classic. And we built some things Classic never had.
The fixes: can see more information, the folder tree is back, drawing no longer plays the video, undo is back, the timer stays on screen, etc. The basic stuff that isn't so basic, it’s vital.
The new stuff: reports live next to my film. Titan data tied to the actual clip. AI scouting reports before I run a single query. Video on a second monitor. New stuff that's making me more efficient as a coach than ever.
Check out the thread for a more detailed breakdown on everything 👇
We've done a lot over the past few months to make sure no one besides me wants to fight @GregJNelson
Go breakdown a quarter or a practice in Hudl this week and tell us what's still making you want to go back to Classic
Check out all of the familiar things we've brought back and new things that should save you hours of time

High school coaches:
How can I help support you for free?
Whether it’s game planning, in-game tools, research, or something else entirely, I’d love to hear it.
I’m also thinking about doing some high school coach exclusive giveaways as a small way to give back to the people who invest so much time and energy into coaching, developing young people, and growing the game.
Reply below or send me a DM. I want this account to be a resource that genuinely helps high school coaches and players.
And if you can help connect me with any high school coaching communities, or help share this message with coaches who may not follow yet, I’d really appreciate it.
You can now adjust the fast forward and rewind speeds in the Video Editor
We also added a keyboard shortcut for splitting (K) and undo (V) when viewing a single angle
Great suggestion from @Coach_McIntyre
@Nathaniel_Pat… we are using Hudl Flex at practice, it’s been great! The issue is cutting/clipping it each day! If we cut the team/group periods could Hudl clip the film? Or could we add a super fast-forward button to the “edit” film page?
Appreciate @CoachSamz reaching out to me and highlighting a quick win starring us right in the face
We've added checkboxes so you can select multiple values and search-to-filter so you can get to all matching values
Team > Team Settings > Manage Breakdown Data
Working hard to get all 150+ coaches who replied or sent me a message access! Everyone should have access by Sunday afternoon
For those who have access, there’s a Feedback button at the bottom of the report or you can send me a DM here
Thank you for helping us build together!
Currently limited by team to just a few reports per week, but we will be adjusting those limits as we better understand usage and costs
We're also limiting to Varsity teams now but will look to revisit that as well
We have a lot more improvements coming soon!
