“GB Canoeing and the EIS use Dartfish software in a number of different ways to gain valuable information to feedback into the coaching process” says Wells, who has been worked with the GB Canoeing Slalom squad since 2004.

As well as Murray and Wells, fellow EIS Performance Analyst Simon Briscoe will also be amongst the presenters at the conference, being held this year at Leeds Metropolitan University, providing further insight into the use of Dartfish software with another sport, this time sailing.
