Time is rarely as precious as it is at an Ivy League school. At Princeton, it’s imperative for players to be able to take the film room with them to their next stop of the day in the palms of their hands with Hudl.
“That's really important to us,” said Kerrin Maurer, assistant coach for the women’s lacrosse team. “For their ability to just pull it out, open the app, look at it quick and then put it away — and it doesn't have to be this long drawn-out thing where they're sitting for a half-hour — that’s big. Princeton kids do not have a half-hour to give at night. They’re in the library.”
Maurer, who graduated from Duke as the program’s all-time leader in assists, knows a thing or two about designing offense. She’s also coaching goaltending and draw controls, two areas where there’s a lot of attention to small details.
“You can tell them in the moment, but they just need to see it sometimes, to have that ‘Aha!’ moment,” Maurer said. “To be able to film them, upload it to Hudl, and have them be able to have access to it whenever they want, that’s helpful.”
