As a coach, the purpose of a VOD review is to break down and analyze your performance in a match by reviewing the footage. I’ll go through key moments of the game, identifying both the positive plays and areas where we could have made better decisions. The goal is to focus on improving individual skills, team coordination, positioning, and decision-making. Positional Awareness: We’ll look at your positioning on the field. Are you maintaining proper spacing from your teammates? Are you covering the field effectively, especially during transitions from offense to defense? A lot of mistakes come from poor positioning, so we’ll focus on making sure you’re in the right place at the right time. Mechanical Skills: I’ll highlight any mechanical mistakes such as missed aerials, mis-hits, or missed opportunities. Rocket League is a fast-paced game, and mechanical errors can often be the difference between winning and losing a play. We’ll talk about how to execute mechanics more consistently and how to handle high-pressure moments. Decision Making: We’ll discuss decisions you made during the match. Were you too aggressive or too passive? Did you make the right decision to challenge the ball or retreat? Improving decision-making comes from understanding when to be patient, when to go for a challenge, and when to pass the ball to a teammate. Mistakes and Recoveries: It’s important to identify mistakes, but we’ll also focus on how well you recovered from them. Did you overcommit and then fail to rotate back quickly? Did you react well to counter-attacks or pressure from the opposing team? We'll focus on improving your ability to bounce back quickly and minimize the impact of mistakes. Mentality and Focus: Lastly, I’ll also give feedback on your mentality. Were there moments where frustration affected your gameplay? How did you react to losing possession or conceding goals? Staying mentally strong and focused is key, especially in higher-level play. Throughout the review, I'll pause and rewind to specific moments to explain my points. This is not just about critiquing mistakes but also pointing out moments of brilliance, so we can replicate those in future matches. The VOD review is an opportunity to learn from every match, analyze what went well, and focus on key areas for improvement.
