The Ludimos platform is renowned for its comprehensive suite of features, which includes advanced video analysis providing deep insights into player technique and performance. It also offers ball tracking and biomechanical overlays, giving precise data on ball trajectories, movements, and detailed analysis of player body mechanics. Furthermore, its remote coaching capabilities enable coaches and players to review footage, identify and tag key trends, share real-time feedback, and personalize training plans, irrespective of geographical location.
Brendan Connor, Cricket Ireland’s Performance Services Manager, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership and said, “Ludimos’ technology is already helping our coaches to streamline how they feedback to players, track key trends, and deliver practical insights to players.
“This partnership strengthens our commitment to using innovative technologies to support talent development at all levels — from the grassroots to the international stage.
