University extends partnership with game-changing sports analysis company

The University of Wolverhampton has extended its sports performance analysis provision and partnership with global company, Hudl, for another three years. 

Hudl, one of the world’s leading performance analysis software companies, has been providing their software for use on the University’s Football Coaching and Performance degree since 2020. The software has provided invaluable insight and experiences for students working with local football clubs in the area. 

Martin Harrison, Football Coaching and Performance Course Lead at the University, said: “Having the Hudl software as part of our course enhances the club partnerships that we have with Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion Football Club. 

“Our students can gain first-hand experience of using industry standard software in both paid and unpaid placement opportunities, increasing their employability prospects in the performance analysis field. We are pleased to be a leader in developing the next generation of performance analysts, where many of our graduates are now working in full-time jobs at elite sports clubs.” 

Kerys Harrop, former professional footballer and lecturer on the Football Coaching and Performance degree, added: “We have really enjoyed hosting workshops with the Birmingham County Football Association and professional academies, teaching coaches and players about the use of the Hudl software to enhance their performance.”
