  During my under-graduate placement, I completed a 6 month period of work for a professional football club academy. This involved producing inspirational-motivational DVDs for a number of U18s players, with the view to improving their confidence as a result. After gaining match footage from the academy, videos were then coded using Sportscode Gamebreaker, selecting positive aspects of player performance. All the clips of positive performance were then grouped together with photos, inspirational quotes, and a self-selected piece of music, creating a personal movie for the individual to use. Post-intervention interviews were also used to assess the effectiveness of the DVDs.
