iPods For Tracking Stats

My students need a tool like the iPod to help track statistics so they can realize what they do on the court and how to best improve it.

My Students

My team has been the third best team in the district for almost twenty years. With some of this tech, I think they can become the best team in the district.

I have taught tennis to so many different people, but this group of students are the best I have ever worked with.

I have never met a team that pushes themselves and wants to win as much as they do. Unfortunately, we are in one of the strongest district. My team has gotten 3rd place in our district for the past 18 years. Most of the team cannot afford to practice outside of school, but you can tell that they want it. Some of them have to work to help support their families.

My Project

I think that 2 iPod Touches will help us get to the next level. There are apps in the app store that are used for helping to track match stats. We would have the students tracking a match that is playing, so they can start to realize what works against certain players. You can take video to help analyze, and use it as a music player to play "We are the Champions" when we win district!

I really do think that these kids deserve the chance to improve even more.

I have never met a group of students that have wanted something as much as these. With the help you provide, I think they will have a competitive edge over the rest of the field.
