The Scottish national rugby union team has begun introducing drones into its player performance analysis, facilitated by a tailored training course designed and delivered by Consortiq. Ten performance analysts from the Scottish Rugby Union are in the middle of their drone training course at present, and are expected to graduate with the completion of their flight assessments once the Autumn International tournament concludes in November. Drones will eventually be used to analyze the performance of the players, such as their formations and tactics, providing an overhead, maneuverable bird’s eye view of the team as they train.
A team of Consortiq instructors have been active at Scotland’s home ground Murrayfield, providing ground-based training to the SRU team and readying them for their upcoming flight assessments. “They knew they wanted the course, and within a very short of period of time, we arrived there and delivered that training in line with the timescale that they required,” Séamus Kearns, Customer Success Manager at Consortiq, says. “We can tailor our services to meet whatever needs. They have tight demands, and we were ready and willing to deliver to these requirements,” Kearns added.
