[01]Online Discus Coaching

A coaching tool for every practice

No appointments, no waiting

Online discus coaching used to mean Zoom calls, sending video by email, and waiting a few days for notes. We do the same job in under a minute, as many times per day as you want.

Built around how discus is actually coached

The feedback uses the same words as in-person coaching: phase names, priority tags, fix-the-cause logic. Bring the notes to practice. Your coach already knows what they mean.

Helps athletes without a specialist coach

Many high school and club programs share one coach across many events. Online AI coaching fills that gap. You get the same kind of read a specialist would give, without needing one on staff.

How it fits your week

Online Discus coaching that fits any practice

Online discus coaching used to mean Zoom calls and email lag. Upload a clip, get a phase-by-phase breakdown in under a minute, repeat as many times in a session as you need. Use it alongside your in-person coach or as your primary tape-review tool when you train alone.

Follow up in chat and ask questions. The AI remembers your analysis and speaks the language of discus coaching.

[02]How a session works

How online discus coaching plays out, step by step

Online coaching used to mean Zoom calls and email. The video version is faster and you can do it on any rep, not just the ones you set up for a coach. Here is what each step looks like.

01
Step 01 / 04YOU

Film a rep at practice

A side-on phone clip is enough. The same clip you'd send your coach over text. Keep the whole rep in frame.

Setup

Standard iPhone video, landscape, 25-40 feet from the rep. No special gear.

02
Step 02 / 04AI

We break it into phases

The AI tags the phases of discus (takeoff, plant, release, etc.) and pulls the critical frames. Same frames a real coach would pause on.

Why this matters

Phase tags let you focus on one thing at a time. "Fix your form" turns into "phase 2 is leaking."

03
Step 03 / 04AI

We write coach-style notes

Each phase gets a written read in coaching language. Priority tags tell you what to fix first. Drills come attached to the notes.

What you'll see

1-3 priority notes. Coach-vocabulary phrasing. The drill that closes the gap.

04
Step 04 / 04YOU

Bring it to your coach

Show your in-person coach the analysis. Most coaches love the extra frames and the priority tags. Use it as a shared starting point.

Best workflow

Film at practice, review at home, talk through the notes with your coach the next session.

[03]Who uses online coaching

Who gets the most out of video-based coaching

Athletes without a specialist coach. Athletes whose coach is splitting time across events. Coaches who want to extend their reach without adding hours.

Get reads in events your team coach can't

Sprint coaches don't always know pole vault. The AI gives you a specialist's read in any event we cover, available the moment you upload.

Best fit Athletes whose program lacks an event coach

Use the AI between sessions

Don't wait until the next practice to see what's wrong. Film a rep, get the notes, bring them to your coach. They get more context, you get faster fixes.

Best fit Athletes who want to maximize coach time

Run faster tape reviews

Reviewing 30 reps after a meet used to take an evening. The AI does it in minutes. You read the priority list, you drill into the reps that matter.

[04]What's covered

What online discus coaching covers, and what it doesn't

Online coaching is a tool, not a replacement. Here's what it does well and what still needs an in-person coach.

What it covers
  • Phase-by-phase form readsEach phase of discus broken out, scored, and explained.
  • Priority-ranked feedbackThree notes max, ranked by how much performance they're costing.
  • Drill-level prescriptionsEach note is paired with the drill that fixes the issue.
  • Coach-vocabulary phrasingPlain coaching language. Bring it straight to your in-person coach.
  • Tape review on every repNot just meet film. Every practice rep you upload gets the same treatment.
  • Side-by-side rep comparesUpload two clips. The AI compares form and tells you what changed.
What it leaves to humans
  • In-person cueingReal-time "drop your shoulder" at the moment of the rep stays with your coach.
  • Mental game workPre-meet routine, focus, race-day nerves. Coaching domains we don't touch.
  • Long-term programmingYour coach designs the training plan. We give feedback on the reps inside it.
  • Recruiting and team strategyBig-picture decisions are not video problems. Out of scope.
  • Lifestyle and recoverySleep, nutrition, lifting. Critical for performance. Not what we do.
  • Final sayYour coach has context we don't. They overrule us when they should.
