COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- In collegiate athletics, a split second in video can go a long way. From the snap of the ball to a pass on the court, there can be little details that can be seen on both sides, whether it's a correction that needs to be made or trying to break down the film to get ready for the next opponent.
That makes the position of video technology coordinator an important one to the success of Tennessee Tech athletics, and when the time came to hire a new one, Tech found just what it was looking for.
Adam Raymond comes to Cookeville after spending 10 years at the University of Nevada, and will take over Tech's video technology coordinator post, helping the Golden Eagles with their video needs.
"Adam is going to be a tremendous asset to Tennessee Tech athletics," said Matt Dexter, Tech associate athletic director for external relations. "We know how important video is to the modern landscape of athletics when it comes to game preparation, so bringing someone in who has years of experience will be a boost to our programs."
While in Nevada, Raymond oversaw day-to-day video operations for football, recording all practices and games, as well as creating cutups and assisting with analysis. He also helped create highlight films, motivational clips and other videos as requested by their football program. He also maintained Nevada's football video archives from 1946 to the present. He wasn't exclusive to football, however, assisting with men's basketball, women's basketball, volleyball, soccer and softball.
Prior to his tenure in Nevada, he spent two years as a video assistant at the University of Washington from 2006 to 2008, as well as a five-year stint as a football video coordinator at the University of Buffalo.
Raymond graduated from Syracuse in May 1998, earning his bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the university's prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. He also lettered in football for one season.
Raymond is married to Jennifer Stouffer and the couple are in the process of adopting a child, Matthew Carter Raymond.
