from the major associations, and we believe
that it’s now time to share this with all our
member countries,’ continues Colquhoun-
Denvers. ‘My vision has always been to share
access to knowledge and the latest polo
coaching information, and as a new
generation of players takes to the field, we
need to ensure that the latest technology
is available to help them progress.’
The app will include a categorised library
of video content that covers a range
of topics, including examples of the
international rules. Coaches will also have
the ability to access the latest research
approved by their national association, as
well as to film, analyse and share the results
with their clients, who will have private
access to their personal assessments.
‘The major associations have paved the
way for other member countries to benefit
from these advances and the FIP Executive
Committee has now unanimously agreed
to support this initiative, to enable the
technology to be available to all countries,’
Colquhoun-Denvers confirms.
Each national association will be given
the opportunity to join the programme and
connect its own network of coaches and
players together. ‘We have worked with
International Polo Academy for the past
eight years, to provide the polo industry
with video-based feedback and analysis,’
says Dartfish’s Sebastien Dubuis. ‘Thanks
to versatile platforms, cutting-edge
apps and a fully dedicated service,
umpire analysis and team analysis have
matured to become second to none.
It is a new milestone for the sport that
the Federation of International Polo
is backing the initiative for the Polo
Development application.’
The mobile application will continue
to be upgraded and new content will be
regularly added, while coaches can request
information on specific topics of interest.
‘We are looking forward to working
with as many federations as possible to
provide the latest research and technology,
helping elevate the sport to the next level,’
says International Polo Academy’s lead
performance analyst Michael Foster, who
will run the programme.
