Phases we analyze

Every phase of javelin, broken out.

Approach

Run-up consistency, carry position, acceleration.

Crossovers

Rhythm, hip-to-shoulder separation building.

Plant step

Impulse stride, javelin laid back.

Power position

Full separation, javelin horizontal, left side blocking.

Release

Up-and-through release, release angle, follow-through.

Why it's different

AI that actually understands javelin.

Generic video tools look at "a person moving." We built a model specifically around javelin, the phases, the mechanics, and the coaching language real javelin coaches use.

You upload the rep. We extract the critical frames. You get a breakdown in plain English with priority tags, what's critical, what's worth working on, what's fine.

  • Event-specific phase detection
  • Priority-tagged coaching notes (critical/important/minor)
  • Cause-and-effect frame markers
  • Follow-up AI coach chat

Common javelin mistakes

The three errors the AI flags most often.

These are the technique patterns we see over and over again across javelin athletes. Each one has a specific look on video and a specific fix.

01

Javelin tip drops below horizontal

What it looks like

Your tip drifts downward in the power position, flattening flight and cutting 5-8 meters on a good throw.

Fix it

Carry drills with a tip-up cue, and plant-and-freeze reps to groove the horizontal carry.

02

Early arm strike

What it looks like

Your arm fires before the block foot lands, leaking energy before the chain can transfer cleanly.

Fix it

Delayed-arm stand-throws, focus on feeling the block foot first, arm second.

03

Block foot collapsing

What it looks like

Your plant leg bends on the block, losing the deceleration that transfers momentum into the throw.

Fix it

Heavy-block drills against a board, and single-leg Nordic work to groove a stiff plant.

Real athletes

Used by javelin athletes at every level.

From freshman javelin to D1 rosters, athletes upload phone video and get the same frame-by-frame coaching read. The AI doesn't grade you, it explains what it sees, in the vocabulary a real javelin coach would use.

  • Every level, freshman to D1
  • Same AI model, same vocabulary
  • Practice reps, meet reps, warm-ups, all fair game
  • Works with any phone, any angle
Common questions

Javelin FAQ

Can it estimate release angle and attack angle?
Yes. Both release angle and javelin attack angle (relative to horizontal) are flagged.
Does it work without a full-length approach in frame?
It works best with the last 5-7 strides of the approach visible. Partial approaches still work but with less context.
What release angle is best for javelin?
32-36 degrees for most throwers; exact optimal depends on release height and velocity. The AI flags when release is off that window.
What are the most common javelin mistakes?
Tip drop in the power position, early arm strike, block foot collapse, and short crossover sequence. These are the ones that cost the most distance.
Can I analyze crossovers separately from the full throw?
Yes. Approach-only clips (crossovers without a throw) are useful for diagnosing rhythm before adding the release.
