"Dartfish is definitely the leading technology in the world of coaching. This system enables a coach to pinpoint problems immediately and share the information with the student."

Vince Panzano

Three time Olympic Coach; Three time NCAA Coach of the Year
"I purchased Dartfish Pro in November of 2002 and have been using it extensively everyday since. One of my divers just won the 10 meter platform event at the 2003 NCAA Championships. This title came, in large part, as a result of daily use of Dartfish."

Audrey King Weisiger

World and Olympic Coach; 1999 United States Figure Skating Association and Professional Skater's Association Coach of the Year; Director of Grassroots to Champions Skating Seminars
"If you love sports, then you'll love Dartfish. Sports enthusiasts of all ages and abilities can benefit from the Dartfish software. As an Olympic figure skating coach, I find the visual impact of SimulCam and StroMotion a dramatic step-up from conventional video, and my students are making remarkable technical progress. The resources available on the Dartfish software have helped take my coaching to the next level by providing new data on the biomechanics of my sport. As the director of the Grassroots to Champions seminars, I use this state-of-the-art technology for coaches' workshops and mentoring. And finally, on the recreational participant level, the Dartfish software helps show yours truly, a novice golfer, what is wrong with my swing. I highly recommend this company and product for those that are intimidated by computers and video technology, because they take pride in training you so that you are confident when using the system. I'll say it again. If you love sports, then you'll love Dartfish."

Gary Nelson

Director of Nike's Bo Jackson Fitness Center
"Dartfish software is a must have and the significance of this product is tremendous. Dartfish software will impact training in a manner similar to the impact that video had on film. These developments are monumental."

Glenn Whittle

Head Coach, Golf, New South Wales Institute of SportI have been a Professional Golfer for 13 years, during this time I have spent most of my time coaching players of all ages and skill levels. I have used approximately 5 coaching software programs and can honestly say that nothing comes close to Dartfish. Although at first glance it may seem more comprehensive than other programs, I encourage you to persevere with the initial differences between your current program and Dartfish and I can guarantee that you will never look back. Every program has improved with the new Dartfish 4.5 clearly better than any version before. If you truly want to improve your ability to communicate with your clients and give them the best chance of improving their golf, then do yourself and your clients a favor and invest in the worlds leading coaching software!

Ron Brant

Men's National Team Coordinator USA Gymnastics
"We use the Dartfish software extensively at our training camps and it has been extremely beneficial for our coaches and athletes."

Brad Cattermole

Head Coach BYU Gymnastics
"I have had your program for a couple of weeks now and have found it to be invaluable in our effort to give our gymnasts every possibility to succeed. I have not been a big proponent of video for quite some time because it was so hard to tape during workout, find on the tape the spot you want to show an athlete, then show her several times what you wanted her to see and still run any sort of productive workout. With the Dartfish software that is not a problem. Because of the way the program works with the computer, I can have the clip I want to show the athlete ready for her to view over and over before she can get from the event to the screen to view it. I have made more progress with some of my athletes in 2 days then in the 2 months prior to our having this software. I have also noticed that some of what I was saying to the athlete was being grossly misunderstood. After viewing video clips together, my gymnast and I are now on the same page and we are improving in our coaching and learning faster than I would have believed possible. I am thrilled with the things this program will allow us to do. I searched high and low for a program that would do 1/2 of what the Dartfish software does and there is nothing out there that even comes close to Dartfish software at any price. I can't imagine a coach or athlete that wouldn't significantly improve their abilities from using the Dartfish software. Thanks for listening to the needs of coaches and athletes in all sports. Dartfish software is exactly what we have been looking for."

Krista Park

Professional Mountain Bike Racer“The Dartfish video analysis is pretty impressive, I can now see how I pedal (watching the playback in slow motion)”.

Mike Teti

US Men's Rowing Nat'l Team Head Coach; Olympian; Three -Time World Champion Coach; Two-Time Olympic Head Coach
"Dartfish has created an amazingly simple process for instant feedback. Following most everyday training, all our athletes utilize the Dartfish software the moment they're off the water. It's simply the best analyzing tool we've ever come across. It really has changed the way we teach and present our technique, for the better."

Corby Fisher

Jumping coach, US Nordic Combined A Team
"I have been totally stoked with the Dartfish program this summer. I have made some major technique changes with the US Nordic combined team this summer, and now our team is the team to beat (we went 1,2, 4 after the jumping in the first Grand Prix this summer) and Dartfish has allowed me to really illustrate these changes to the Team. In a sport of inches, (at 60 mph) it takes the likes of Dartfish to show them everything, after all, as I like to say, the video doesn't lie... So, now they know what they have to do. If only we could get Dartfish to help them jump harder!! Thanks for the support."

Berni Schoedler

Headcoach Swiss Ski Jumping Team
"My challenge has always been to illustrate dynamic and fluid jumps. Thanks to the Dartfish software's StroMotion enhancement, I can show athletes these aspects visually and give them efficient feedback for the mental understanding of their jumps."

Charles Harris

Huron Valley Ski Club
"Dartfish software is an exceptional training tool. It has accelerated the learning curve of all my athletes. After a morning of slalom or giant slalom training at summer camp at Mt. Hood, I would use it to help them analyze their performance. During their free time, some of them would spend hours using both the Simulcam and MultiPlay to compare themselves to each other as if they were playing games on Sony Playstation. I try to video my athletes as often as possible at races. The first thing that some of them ask after a race when we get back to where we are staying is, 'Where is the camera and laptop?'"

Bard J Elden

US Nordic Combined Team
"Dartfish is a tremendous tool for me as a coach. First of all it gives me easier access to videos. Using SimulCam and MultiPlay we've been able to (both the athletes and I) get quicker response in technique changes. This works for two reasons: 1. we all get a clearer image, and 2. the athletes and I communicate better and have a more similar understanding."

Andy Walshe

PhD, Sport Science Director, United States Ski and Snowboard Association
"Dartfish has become the primary means of video analysis for our elite teams. The variety of features allow s coaches to systematically analyze training and as such provides clear and direct feedback to the athletes' daily training program."

Tony Nunnikhoven

Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, Alpine Program Director
"If a picture is worth a thousand words then Dartfish is worth a thousand pictures! I believe that The Dartfish Motion Analysis Software Program has completely redefined the future of all athletic training environments. It decreased the time required for our skiers to internalize their skill levels and move rapidly forward toward enhancing them. The time spent with their coaches has become significantly more productive and efficient. In comparison, simply placing athletes in front of a television for video, could be compared to coaching in the Stone Age. Every team, every program, every school should rework their budget to acquire Dartfish technology as soon as possible."

Brandon Dyksterhouse

University of New Mexico Assistant Coach, 2004 NCAA National Champions
"Dartfish's innovative features and ease-of-use helped guide the Lobos to our first ever national championship. It is an absolute must for anyone serious about improving their ski racing."

Mark Tilston

Head Coach, British Ski Team
"The Dartfish software has been a very valuable coaching tool for several years now. As we become more proficient with using the software the possibilities that we can do in terms of performance analysis increase. The software gives us the opportunity for high level bio-mechanical analysis and one of the major benefits is to be able to compare one or more athletes with another or to make comparisons from one run to another for one athlete which can allow us to compare technique, line and also how the equipment performs and reacts."

Harald Benselin

Trainer of the Swiss Snowboardcross National Team
"Snowboardcross is a fast sport and seeing everything live is difficult, that's why training is 80% based on use of the video. Dartfish allows me to quickly work with video and SimulCam™ is the solution that lets me do a precise work on starts and the key points of interest of this sport. Dartfish has quickly become an essential tool in my daily routines. It took a significant place in the success of my athletes at the last Torino Olympic Games 2006."

Andy Walshe

PhD, Sport Science Director, United States Ski and Snowboard Association
"Dartfish has become the primary means of video analysis for our elite teams. The variety of features allows coaches to systematically analyze training and as such provides clear and direct feedback to the athletes' daily training program."

Kevin Conrad

U.S. Speed Skating Sport Scientist
"The Dartfish software has been a tremendous help to our athletes and coaches in preparation for the Games. The Dartfish program has provided the means to break down skating technique in order to make those subtle, yet important adjustments."

Jonty Skinner

USA Swimming; Director of National Team Technical Support
"We are very excited about the addition of Dartfish software to the support of our National Team, and expect that the increased ability to study video of a variety of swimmers will enhance our performance in the coming years. We are constantly looking for new technology and innovations that will help us remain at the top in the very competitive world of swimming."

Budd Termin

USA Swimming Coach
"Instantaneous visual feedback is one of the best tools a coach can provide for an athlete to optimize performance. I believe the Dartfish software program is the best mechanism to provide that feedback for any practice or competitive setting."

Bob Gambardella

CEO USA Taekwondo
"Over the course of the past year, our National Team programs were able to integrate Dartfish technology into our training camps for athlete development and scouting initiatives by the coaches in competition. From the World University Games in Turkey and the Pan Am Junior Taekwondo Championships in Aruba, the Dartfish system helped attribute to 19 out of 23 medals won by our National Teams in 2005."

Andy Fitzell

Tennis Professional
"Dartfish software has helped me become a more effective teacher and helps my students improve faster."

Tim Heckler

U.S. Professional Tennis Association, CEO
"To the trained eye of a tennis professional or coach, Dartfish makes clear what previously might have been unseen or misinterpreted. It can make all the difference in a player's success. Professionals who use Dartfish create a distinct advantage for their students and their overall programs."

Brooks Johnson

Director - USATF High Performance Center, USOC Training Center - Chula Vista, CA
"Dartfish is the best friend an athlete and coach can possess, as they work intelligently to improve performance. It can definitely be the 'Winning Edge' for both, because of the graphic and immediate feedback possible with Dartfish."

Dr. Bob Ward

USA
"In over 50 years of track & field, I haven't seen anything that can match the contribution of Dartfish to improving our performance. The sequence of events is simple: visually capture your event; analyze your event; share your event analysis with anyone."

Jen Davidson

Sports Science - Technical Coordinator for USATF
"It's a comparison tool unlike anything else. The possibilities with this are infinite."

Roman Sebrle

Gold Medalist - Decathlon in the Athens 2004 Olympic Games
"In my preparation for my Olympic title I used the Dartifsh software all the time. It really helped me analyze and prepare for ten very technically different events. I am comfortable with using PC's and I use them as a hobby. Dartfish enables me to combine this interest in computers with my technical training. I can have very sophisticated conversations with my coach, regarding training techniques using Dartfish as a communication tool."

Nelio Alfano Moura

Brazilian National Coach - Long Jump and Triple Jump
"In 2008 I had one of the most important moments of my career. In one week two athletes that I coach won gold medals at the Olympic Games in Beijing: Irving Saladino, from Panama, and Maurren Maggi, from Brazil. Both are long jumpers, and both dramatically improved important aspects of their technique since we started to use Dartfish some years ago.

In 2002, the Brazilian Olympic Committee sent me to attend a Global Coaching Conference in Colorado Springs. Dartfish was one of the sponsors of that Conference, and I received for free the basic version of the software. It was definitely a turning point in my career, and a couple years later I started to use the full version. Since then, with the help of Dartfish, my athletes won medals at World Championships (gold), World Indoor Championships (3 silver and 1 bronze), World Cups (1 gold and 1 silver), Pan-American Games (many!), etc.

Dartfish has been helping me a lot to see things that simple video footage doesn't show. It is also an important communication tool, because now the athletes understand exactly what to do."
- Nelio Alfano Moura

"I arrived in Brazil in 2004, and immediately Nelio started to use Dartfish to analyze my technique. In 4 years, I improved from 8,12 m to 8,73 m!"
- Irving Saladino (Panama), Reigning Olympic Champion - Long Jump.

"Dartfish helps me understand complex technical aspects of my jump, and to improve them. I became a more consistent jumper since we started to use it, in 2002."
- Maurren Higa Maggi (Brazil), Reigning Olympic Champion - Long Jump.

Guy Ontanon

PhD, French National Athletic Team Trainer, Men's and Women's Sprints
"Dartfish software gives you the necessary tools to monitor the athlete and construct good performance techniques. The ability to compare performance in training and competition, enables us to build a rich data base highlighting the evolution of the athlete's abilities."

Graeme Maw

PhD, Performance Director, British Triathlon Association
"Dartfish software has allowed us, like never before, to look at technique and mechanics with specific impact on injury prevention, in a way not previously accessible to coaches and therapists."

Dr. Csaba Meszaros

Technical University Budapest
"I have been training in weightlifting for more than 25 years and in my entire career I have never seen such a powerful tool for communication and analysis. Dartfish software is a must for every coach in the World and every sport."

Lee Hyeong-geun & Yeom dong-cheol

Coach of Men’s Weightlifting Team Coach of Women’s weightlifting Team
"Analysis of movement using Dartfish was of help to Jang Mi-ran’s recent achievement – breaking a new world record. We use Dartfish system in training almost everyday, because it provides an easy and efficient tool to communicate with athletes about the corrections and adjustments that need to improve, giving them a real understanding and doubling efficiency in training. Moreover, when we conduct a mock competition with a big event ahead, we also use Dartfish for video analysis in real time. Athletes feel confident when they see and compare their performances conducted in the real-event environment to such an extent that they can see every detail of the movement, consequently, improving their performance in the real competition."

Vern Gambetta

Gambetta Sports Training Systems
"Dartfish has made a tremendous difference in my coaching and teaching. It is a tool I wish I would have had the other thirty-two years of my coaching career. It enables me to identify technical flaws in movement and easily relate those to the athlete. The cliché of a picture being worth a thousand words could not be more true. I could not imagine being without this tool!"

Scott Drawer

UK Sport
"Dartfish is a key partner with UK Sport and partners in the development of analysis practices in GB elite summer and winter Olympic and Paralympic Sport. The technology allows rapid, objective, evidence-based feedback for proactive coaching and in assisting the process of shortcutting the learning required for athletic and coaching development. The technology is simple to use, intuitive and responsive to the real life requirements of the elite sporting environment and provides a great tool in the coaching toolbox."

Mike Spino

Director of Coaching Education and International Sports at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia.
"Everyday throughout the sport leadership profession, all types of coaches, trainers, athletes and educators are quickly realizing that they cannot stay in the game without the Dartfish capability. We have found that the techniques you can observe and correct in terms of sport movement understanding, cannot be matched with the naked eye or any other similar product."

Mike Christie

Canadian Olympic Committee
"It has been just over 18 months since the Canadian Olympic Committee made a strategic shift towards Performance Technology. In this recently adopted focus, the area of advanced video analysis plays an integral role, especially the applied application of Dartfish software technology. The transformational thinking and leveraged learning observed to date within Canada's Olympic programs has been absolutely phenomenal. The valued support from from knowledgeable staff at Dartfish, through ongoing assistance and espert advice, certainly contributed to Canada's success at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games with a best-ever third place ranking in overall medals."
