For coaches

Clip the rep you want your athletes to see

Clip the swing, the set play or the lift and write your cues on it. Put two clips side by side, and leave feedback at the exact second you’re talking about.

How it works

How to share a technique clip with coaching notes

  1. 1

    Clip the technique

    Paste a link to a match, drill or tutorial and trim it to the rep you want to show. If the movement is fast, slow it down.

  2. 2

    Add coaching notes

    Write your cues in the clip notes. Type a time like 0:42 and it jumps the player to that moment.

  3. 3

    Share and compare

    Send the link to your athletes, or open Compare to play two clips next to each other at the same speed.

Side-by-side compare

Put a model rep next to another clip, like an athlete’s own video uploaded to YouTube as unlisted, and play them together. Both run at the same speed and can loop together. If one is a few seconds out, offset it so the key moment lines up.

Feedback on the moment

  • Private feedback: a comment is seen only by you and the person who wrote it, and each one is pinned to a time in the clip.
  • Public discussion: anyone who opens the clip can read the comments and reply.
  • You can reply to comments, and hide or delete any on your clips.
  • For a whole session, put the clips in order in a lesson, with your own text between them.

Questions

Can I compare my athlete’s video with a pro’s?

Yes, as long as both are on YouTube and allow embedding. Clip each one, then open Compare to play them side by side.

Are comments public?

That’s up to you, clip by clip. Comments can be off, private feedback or public discussion.

Can I slow down fast movements?

Yes. Clips play at anything from 0.25× to 2×, in 0.05 steps.
