Army Introduces Cutting-Edge App to Louisiana Association of Coaches
U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion - Baton Rouge
Aug. 5, 2024 | 3:15
The U.S. Army Game Studio (AGS) arrives to exhibit the
‘GoArmy Edge’ app to the Louisiana Association of Coaches Clinic at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Conference Center, July 15-17.

Developed by the U.S. Army, the app allows coaches to draw plays, coach visually and design drills for players in a virtual environment before taking the field.

“It is a free app that can be accessed by players and coaches all from their phones,” John Mumford, GoArmy Edge Advisor, said. “Coaches have full-control and can draw-up original
plays that are converted into virtual 3D animation.”

Mumford helped the GoArmy Edge app reach optimal functionality as a subject matter expert, having coached football for 40-years; and 14 of those years spent as Defensive Coordinator with Army’s West Point football team.

The GoArmy Edge app presents an advantage for football coaches in adding a virtual element to a team’s training and gametime elements.

“Coaches can download their playbook into the app, while adding drills and plays real-time,” Mumford said.

The function of the app merges needs of football coaches with a style of communication young players understand.

“Players can receive new plays and drills and access their position virtually in first-person that can even be accessed by the Oculus Quest 2 platform [headset],” Mumford said. “While they’re [players] on Tik Tok, Instagram or Facebook, coaches can now send new plays for players to interact with ahead of time.”
