The Brazilian Women’s National Team has a technological resource that has been greatly helping coach Arthur Elias in this preparation phase for the Paris Olympic Games. This is the tactical screen. The novelty has aroused the interest of the athletes and is an important part of the team’s training in Teresópolis (RJ).
The tool is located on the sideline. The screen receives images from a fixed camera and another one, attached to a drone, and can be consulted at any time. It is a live feedback on what is happening in the training sessions.

“The main advantage of providing this live feedback is that we can qualify the training session. We don’t have to wait, for example, for the end of the period to evaluate the images and at a later time seek the evolution. Within the session itself we can do this, improving the performance of the athletes throughout this process,” explains Cristian Javier Ramirez Lizana.
Cristian works with this resource in partnership with André Batista and Bruno Faust – the three performance analysts at the service of the Brazilian Women’s National Team in Teresópolis. The tactical screen is already used by European clubs, such as Roma, for example, and also in Brazil, in the case of Athletico-PR.
“The images captured by the drone are used later. Those that come from the fixed camera, manipulated by André, are transmitted directly to the tactical screen. Through software, André is able to separate the videos that are focused on the specific objective of the ongoing training, which well illustrate the idea that the coaching staff wants to convey to the athletes,” said Bruno Faust.
The equipment in use at Granja Comary allows the coach, his assistants or even the athletes to draw on the videos in order to discuss a game situation, such as positioning on the field, for example. The cameras capture the complete session of each training, from warm-up to the final complement.
“The work with the tactical screen is a novelty that has come to football to stay. It gives us very quick feedback on what is being worked on in training. It helps the athletes to absorb information, at the moment a specific situation occurs. We gain time with this visual feedback, which allows us to make corrections at that exact moment, clearing up some doubts, greatly facilitating our work,” said Arthur.
