Why Former Youth Sports Coach Eric Scott Wishes His Players Had This App
Right now, my professional life centers on radio, but I also spent 25 years coaching youth sports, mostly football but some baseball. One thing always frustrated me.
Practice ended...and then you hoped the players would go home and work on what you taught them. Some did. Some didn't. Who knows if they really absorbed all you told them in practice in the first place?
That's why I love sportFX.
An advanced vision-driven human motion intelligence platform, sportFX scientifically measures player movement, analyzes it, provides numerous metrics, and then tells you how to improve. It allows coaches to see things quickly that they haven't been able to see before, and it allows players to very quickly discern: Am I improving? What do I need to take my game to the next level?
Here's a look at what you see after shooting a video:
One of my favorite parts is that it doesn't need any specialized equipment. You just use your cellphone or tablet, shoot a video using the prompts inside the app, and let sportFX work its magic. It provides coaching suggestions, drill videos, and Winston, an in-app biometrics translator that answers your questions in real time.
It's a great coaching tool, but more importantly, it's a "cheat code" for parents and players who want to really make their at-home practice count. sportFX provides detailed analysis, drills, tips, and movement red flags that may help reduce the risk of injury. And it delivers it in language player, coaches, and parents at all levels can understand.
Looking back, I honestly wish I'd had something like sportFX for every player I coached. It helps parents support the work players are doing with their coaches, and it's available whenever your athlete wants to train.
Check out sportFX, and see how it can help your athlete reach the next level. Download the app wherever you get your apps.
