Reviewing Tapes
I concur with the earlier comments. I would clear all of this with your supervisor(s) first. Additionally, here is what I do. I bring a VCR to all of my games. We have to be at games so early so, I go to the video coordinator for one of the teams, connect my VCR to their camera with RCA cables and have the video coordinator hit record on my VCR for me. That is all they have to do. After the game, I either get security to go up and gather my things and bring them to me, or depending on how the game goes and circumstances I get get my VCR myself.
The main thing is to understand and know how to "break" a game down and to self-critique. Many officials, fall short in this category. A person must want to get better and have an open mind to new suggestions and ideas on how to handle certain situations, plays, and philosophy. It is very easy to spot the individuals that don't want to get better, as I have seen this happen in many a video room at camp, and talking with other officials about plays and philosophy in general (even on this board as well).
BE YOUR OWN WORST CRITIC!!! I have several forms that I use when breaking down tapes, that I have either developed myself and/or have taken some from camps that I have attended.
HAPPY TAPE REVIEWING!!!!
