Film Smart: The ProLab Guide to Player-Led Excellence is a practical handbook for turning game film into a daily habit of player-driven improvement. Built on the ProLab framework of Zero Seconds, Advantage, and Roles, it shows coaches and athletes how to move from long, coach-dominated meetings to short, sharp sessions that change behavior on the floor. Inside you’ll find clear workflows for capturing and tagging games, running 15–20 minute film meetings, and building 3-clip Learn reels that connect directly to practice design. The book also covers culture, ethics, psychological safety, and modern tools such as AI-assisted tagging and dashboards, making it a complete reference for clubs that want film to be a competitive advantage instead of a chore. Whether you coach youth, pro, or anything in between, Film Smart gives you a system to help players say, “I watched film, and I changed this one thing.”
