Deafgirls: Video Analysis in Handball with ATHLYZER

The women's national deaf handball team was founded about two years ago. Since then, the Deafgirls have already played one international match and several exhibition games. The experience gained and the games played must be continuously analyzed and used to further develop the team.

Deafgirls Rely on ATHLYZER for Handball Video Analysis

This requires video analysis that can be easily and efficiently integrated into daily training and game operations. With ATHLYZER, the Deafgirls have access to software for video analysis of handball games and training sessions that helps the coaching staff conduct structured evaluations of games and training sessions. The partnership with the company, which supports the team with its video analysis program, has been in place for about a year.

ATHLYZER in Training and Game Situations

ATHLYZER in Training and Match Operations: Alex Zimpelmann, coach of the German men’s national deaf handball team and a long-time ATHLYZER user, plays a key role in this implementation. Drawing on his experience with the program, he is helping the Deafgirls’ coaching staff learn about the software’s capabilities and increasingly integrate it into their training and match operations.

The goal is to use video analysis in a targeted and effective manner at the World Championship, thereby adding another important component to the team’s preparation for the games.

ATHLYZER’s video analysis is intuitive, time-saving, and effective. Time is a particularly important factor in competitive sports: Manual evaluations are often labor-intensive and take up valuable time. ATHLYZER offers features that simplify many of these steps, thereby enabling fast and structured analysis.

Video Analysis as a Component of Athletic Development

For the Deafgirls, video analysis can be a particularly important tool. Since the team is still in the early stages of its development, it is crucial to evaluate games and training sessions in a targeted manner, identify strengths, and pinpoint areas for improvement. At the same time, video analysis makes it possible to clearly illustrate game situations and convey them to the players in a way that is both understandable and memorable.

Christiane Weber on the collaboration

Christiane Weber, head coach of the Deafgirls, on the partnership:

“I enjoy using this video analysis because it gives us the opportunity to evaluate our games quickly, in a structured way, and with great precision. Especially for our still-young national team, it’s important to take away as many insights as possible from every game and use them for our continued development.

Our goal is to use video analysis strategically at the World Championship so that we can react quickly during the tournament—not only to our own games but also to our opponents.

For our Deafgirls, ATHLYZER can be a very important tool. We want to continue to develop as athletes, and to do that, it’s crucial not only to experience our performances on the field but also to be able to analyze them in detail afterward. Video analysis gives us the opportunity to further develop our game plan, make decisions transparent, and provide our players with concrete visuals. For us, it is far more than just an additional tool—it can be an important component of our athletic development.”
