Discover how Klevr enhances athletes’ learning and retention
In today's fast-paced digital age, video feedback has revolutionized the way athletes train, learn, and grow. Gone are the days when coaches relied solely on verbal cues and demonstrations to teach essential skills. Now, young athletes can harness the power of technology to gain an edge in their performance and unlock their true potential. In this article, we will highlight how Klevr’s video analysis tools enhance learning and boost retention amongst young athletes.
Visual feedback
Most athletes are visual learners meaning they retain 80% more of what they see compared to what they hear. For these athletes, seeing is believing, and video feedback provides a comprehensive visual representation of their performance, making it easier to grasp complex movements and techniques. The ability to observe their actions in real-time or in slow-motion allows visual learners to absorb every detail, ensuring a deeper understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement. Klevr also offers the flexibility to watch and re-watch as needed, allowing visual learners to reinforce their learning at their own pace. The visual cues provided through video feedback create lasting mental images, which can be easily recalled during practice or competition, enhancing muscle memory and performance consistency.
Active learning
Studies have shown that active learners retain 93.5% of previously learned information compared to only 79% for passive learners after one month. A hands-on, interactive approach encourages athletes to critically assess their techniques, tactics, and decision-making, actively seeking areas for improvement. Klevr allows athletes to pause, rewind, and replay moments, allowing for deeper reflection and understanding of their actions, promoting active problem-solving skills and self-awareness. This process of self-discovery fosters a sense of responsibility for their growth, motivating athletes to take the lead in shaping their development. Furthermore, by comparing their performances with elite athletes or previous personal bests, athletes are challenged to set ambitious goals and actively work towards surpassing them, creating a continuous loop of active learning and improvement in their athletic pursuits.
Repetition
By repeating key information, learners will be able to call upon the information they’ve already seen more easily. In short, repetition improves long-term memory. Klevr provides a means of capturing and preserving critical moments during training or competition, allowing athletes to revisit and reinforce successful actions or correct mistakes.
Revisiting past performances enhances long-term memory retention, facilitating the transfer of learned skills and knowledge to future challenges. As athletes witness their progress through video feedback, they become more motivated and engaged in the learning process, solidifying their commitment to continuous improvement and ensuring better retention of valuable lessons.
