WowYow (WY): Hi there! We're glad that you chose us to help you with your AI needs. First, a couple of questions so we can get the best solutions for you. 

‍

Why do you want to track your players' motion?

‍

Client H (H): Because I want to know what physical actions lead to poor performance.

‍

WY: Is this something you need to know live, or can it be analyzed after you send us a video file?

‍

H: Since this is for training purposes, we can start with post-game footage.

‍

WY: Great! Would you also like us to provide potential player analysis for scouting purposes?

‍

H: Yes! If we could feed all video files in for analysis and provide what we are looking for in movement performance, that would be a huge win!
