UCF SPORTS VIDEO UCF’s student-athletes, coaches and fans all benefit from the school’s award-winning video services staff. Director John Kvatek and his crew have been recognized as the best in C-USA twice in the past three years, winning the award in both 2007 and 2009. The Knights have some of America’s newest equipment and put it to good use. Along with producing all coaches’ video, the department has assumed responsibility for producing coaches shows, television ads, live-event web-streaming and all video board content at UCF athle�c events. On a team end, UCF provides coaches with a digital viewing medium which allows them to view every play from games and prac�ces instantly, from mul�ple angles, and with the ability to be grouped with other plays by numerous variables to provide the best analysis of both UCF and opponents. On road trips, the diligent staff has the clips loaded onto the coaching staff ’s laptops to view on UCF’s charter flight back to Orlando just an hour a�er the contest. Chris Hooley directs coaching video for all Olympic sports. The video services staff also produces several weekly television shows which are broadcast throughout the state of Florida and chronicle UCF Athle�cs, including head coach George O’Leary’s weekly television show, the weekly all-sports magazine show SportsKnight and the new educa�onal youth show UKnighted. Jeff Sharon and Brian Fernandez produce much of the content for these shows. Fans at UCF’s three largest venues, Bright House Networks Stadium, UCF Arena and baseball’s Jay Bergman Field, are o�en entertained during breaks in the ac�on by the crea�ve work of the UCF Video Services staff. David Belawski does most of UCF’s gameday video produc�on work.
