Coach's Eye Demo from CrossFit East Sac on Vimeo.
I have been playing with some new toys and technology. We got an apple TV and a monitor so we can film your form and give instant feedback and instruction to the class via an iPhone or iPad and Apple TV.
This video was my first attempt at a voice over on some clips of Cori from yesterday using an app called Coach's Eye. All video, splicing, voice over and most of the blog posting work was all done from my iPhone. Isn't technology great?
It was a bit of trial and error figuring this all out and getting it edited and posted directly from the phone, but I hope to get better at using this technology and I hope these new additions will be helpful in getting you all better visual coaching in the future.
Side Note on Geeky Stats about Mobile Devices :
Google analytics tells me that about 30% of this blog's traffic over the last 30 days comes directly from mobile devices. Of that 30% traffic, 63% is from iPhones and 22% is from iPads. So based on our blog's traffic, Apple has over 80% of the web traffic from mobile devices. The HTC Inspire is at 3rd at 2.89% of total mobile traffic, the SonyEricsson LT15i Xperia Arc is 4th at 1.76%, the Samsung SGH-I777 is 5th at 1.37% and is the only Samsung device in the top 10. At 6th and 7th place are the Motorola DroidX is at 1.23% and the Motorola xt875 Droid Bionic is at 1.19% and they are the only driod devices in the top 10.
A Washington Post Article from yesterday said that Samsung has the highest market share of smartphones world wide at 32.6% and Apple is next at 16.9%.
Question-
If Samsung is dominating the market in web browsing enabled phones, then why is Apple dominating the amount of web traffic on our site? Is it an East Sac thing? Are apple users more savvy? My guess is that Apple products are more reliable and easier to use. What do you think?
1- Samsung does better overseas.
2- I post from my iPhone about half the time and I am a frequent poster.

Oh, and is that a new video? Is Freddy back in town?

Mike the traffic from iPhone over the last 30
Days is in the 1000's. So it's not you. And if you listen to the video it says the first shot was back in may.

Don't underestimate my obsessive blog checking . . .
Sorry, my sound card on the desk top is dead so I didn't listen to the video.
1000s hits from iPhone traffic. Damn those wall flowers need to start posting, I am sure they have something to say (try a snatch joke like this one I overheard a top 5 Crossfit Games finisher say one time:
Athlete #1- there is something wrong with my snatch today.
BM: What? Is it smelly?

Mike we call them lurkers. They refresh as much as you, but never add anything to the content or conversation. Don't be a lurker.
Another stat I just pulled. Of the 5200 Apple device page views over the last 30 days, only 13% of those were new visitors, so it must be that East Sac viewers are majority Apple users.

The average mobile viewer spent 1:46 on the site and clicked on 1.66 pages, so you know they read something, just had nothing intelligent to say, not that BM's comments are usually intelligent, but sometimes.

Ok. I'll post. I sprained my thumb doing the snatch WOD yesterday. Any pointers on healing a sprained thumb? No kidding, it's 50 % fatter than the unsprained thumb.

Statistically speaking, this conversation was over about 1.219999999 seconds after the average viewer started reading it. You guys need to get anal another way!
Posted by: Chris | July 28, 2012 at 03:31 PM
Lene, we will leave the getting anal up to you.
Posted by: Justin Riley | July 28, 2012 at 04:57 PM
Justin- love the new video tool, can't wait to be embarrassed by it.
As for the conversation goin on here, I see you guys talking about BM and anal and will pass on joining in the conversation.
Posted by: Matt P | July 28, 2012 at 06:12 PM
Hmm, I can't figure out why more people don't join in these kinds of insightful discussions. Yep, it's a real mystery.
