Frequently asked questions
Straight answers. Anything missing? support@coachvision.app.
How does CoachVision work?
You upload a 10–20 second phone clip of your technique. Body-tracking software measures your movement frame by frame (joint angles, timing, balance), and Coach Vee turns those measurements into one thing to work on, and a drill for it. Your next clip checks if it stuck. An analysis takes about a minute.
How do the measurements work?
Each sport has a set of technique checkpoints (things like weight shift, tempo, or elbow alignment) measured directly from body tracking. You see every number, and the coach names one thing to work on when a coaching source backs that advice. On beta sports, some reads are AI estimates rather than direct measurements. Those are clearly labeled in the analysis.
Do clean numbers mean I'm basically a pro?
Honest answer: not necessarily. The measurements show how cleanly you moved through the fundamentals the camera could see (rhythm, timing, positions), not how hard the move was. Smooth, simple riding can read very clean, and a pro throwing something gnarly is doing harder things these numbers don't capture.
Which sports does CoachVision cover?
13 sports today: Skimboarding, Surfskate, Golf, Surfing, Basketball, Squat, Baseball Hitting, Pickleball, Tennis Serve, Deadlift, Archery, Cheer Jumps, Fly Casting. Every sport is included on the free plan.
What camera or phone do I need?
Any modern smartphone camera works. No sensors, no wearables, no special hardware. The body tracking runs on a normal video clip.
How should I film my clip?
Keep your whole body in frame, film from a steady position (prop the phone or use a tripod), get reasonably close, and keep the clip to roughly 10–20 seconds around the action. Cheer jumps, squats, deadlifts, basketball shots and tennis serves can run to 25 seconds. For those, film 3 to 5 attempts in one clip. One works, but several let us check your consistency. Golf and archery stay at one swing or one arrow per clip. Each sport's page and the in-app filming guide give sport-specific angles.
Is my video private?
Yes. Your clips are never published unless you create a share link yourself. They are stored so we can deliver and re-show your analysis, and we keep a test copy of some clips on our own test computer to catch wrong reads. Our AI provider receives a few still frames from a clip, never the full video, plus your measurements and first name, to write your coaching. Your clips and data are never sold and never used for ads. Deleting your account removes your clips, analyses and account straight away; a test copy stays until our next clear-out, and the privacy policy lists the few other things that stay.
What do I get for free?
3 analyses every month, across every sport, plus your journal, drills, badges, XP, streak and practice heatmap, free forever, no credit card. Two things are limited beyond the monthly count: your progress charts show your most recent 10 sessions, and streak repair is Pro-only. And you only spend an analysis when your card comes back with something: a failed analysis, or one that measured nothing, doesn't count toward the 3.
What does Pro actually unlock?
Three things, and only three. Unlimited analyses instead of 3 a month, on every sport. Your full progress history instead of the most recent 10 sessions. And streak repair: one repair per calendar month. Everything else in the app is the same on both plans: every sport, the full journal, drills, badges, XP and levels, and the coach's-eye scene read on the sports that have one.
What is streak repair?
If you miss a single practice day, Pro lets you cover it so the streak either side of it joins back up. The limits, plainly: one repair per calendar month, one missed day at a time (not a two-day gap), the missed day has to be within the last 7 days, and there has to be a real run of at least 2 days on the far side of it to reconnect. If you still have a streak freeze banked it will cover the day automatically and for free, so we won't spend your repair on it. A repaired day stays marked on your practice heatmap as repaired, not as practice. The streak number counts it, the record of what you actually did does not.
How much is Pro?
Pro is $12.99/month. One price, every sport, cancel anytime.
How do I cancel?
From your settings, open the billing portal and cancel: anytime, no email required, no retention hoops. Your journal and measurements stay yours on the free plan.
What's the refund policy?
If something went wrong with a charge, email support@coachvision.app and we'll make it right.
What happens if I upload the wrong sport, or the analysis fails?
That one's on us. You only spend an analysis when your card comes back with something. If the coach can't get a clean read (wrong sport, body out of frame, bad light) and nothing could be measured, it doesn't count against your quota and you can retry immediately.
Do I need equipment trackers or sensors?
No. CoachVision tracks your body only. Nothing attaches to your club, board, or ball. That also means we're honest about the limits: the coach can't see club face angle or ball spin, so it never measures or coaches things the camera can't verify.
What does 'beta sport' mean?
Beta sports have real body-tracked coaching, but some of their reads are AI estimates rather than direct measurements, and the analysis labels which is which. Full-tier sports use measured checkpoints throughout.
What's on the roadmap?
Every beta sport is on a path to the measured full tier. The goal is the same everywhere: real measurements, one thing to work on, and a drill for it.
Who built CoachVision?
A skimboarder chasing a pro career who couldn't find coaching, so the coach that didn't exist got built. That's why CoachVision is the first AI coach for skimboarding and surfskate.
