XOS Football coaching software


XOS is a software we use everyday at football. It is run by databases, and I would like to pursue a job when I graduate. It is a program that once inputed helps you watch practice or games as if they were happening in front of you. Also there is a way to fastforward, rewind, slowdown, and stop a specific play to help the coach coach.

XOS is constantly looking to expand their programs by asking coaches about what needs to be removed, improved and added. Programs all around the country use XOS, from big to small programs.

I was thinking XOS could convert to an online orientated company. I know alot of teams trade film of other teams. If they could convert the passing of film through their company they would force schools to use their service instead of competitors. If universities could log onto the server, and find then information they are looking for it would save their time and money. Check out their website and see what its all about xostech.com.

  1. This is a great program; speaking from experience. It has many utilities and functions to perform many tasks. I wonder if they will branch out to perform web services they you can use with the system, seeing how many players and coaches are out on the road a lot and want access to film and cut ups at a more easier convienance.

  2. While this does sound like a possible business opportunity for XOS, I highly doubt they would be able to limit the online exchange of game/practice film only to their own company, as so many different Universities and schools seem to participate with XOS already. If you are truly serious I'm sure there is someone to contact who would be interested in your idea.

  3. Dan, I could see you working here and loving it. I like the use of technology and sports. I think this will help improve teams across the nation because the coach will have assistance not only by his staff but in a visual way and this will help him coach better. Who ever came up with this hit a gold mind because it helps team and coaches and might provide some jobs to the athletes who spent most of their time concentrating on football but learned a little IT along the way. I like it!

  4. It's always interesting to see new ways that technology is being used. Who would of thought that this would be a strategy for athletes. I like the idea to convert to an online company. This could really create more opportunities.
