One of the most powerful aspects of sportFX.ai is the integrated AI coaching assistant, often referred to as your 24/7 coach. After analyzing a video, sportFX doesn’t just leave you with raw numbers – it provides personalized feedback, answers to your questions, and step-by-step guidance on how to improve. This feature is like having an expert coach explain your performance and give you targeted practice tips.
Here’s how to use and benefit from the coaching features:
- AI Q&A (“Talk to Your Game”): sportFX allows you to ask questions in natural language about your performance. You might see a prompt such as “Ask Coach” or simply a chat interface after your results. You can type or select common questions like “Where am I losing power?” and the AI will respond by analyzing your data[28]. For example, if you ask "Where am I losing power?", the coach might reply that “most of your power loss is happening during the transition from your load to your forward swing. Your hips start opening before your hands fully fire, reducing the torque you can generate.”[28]. This kind of answer pinpoints the flaw in your mechanics that the metrics revealed, phrased as a coach’s observation.
- Automated Insights: Even if you don’t ask a question, sportFX will often highlight key findings. After processing, the app might immediately show a summary like: “Focus Area: Lower body drive – your jump height or push-off force was below average compared to peers.” These insights direct your attention to what matters most from that session.
- Personalized Drills and Tips: The hallmark of sportFX’s feedback is that it goes beyond identifying problems – it suggests solutions. In the analysis feedback screen or chat, you will get training recommendations tailored to your needs. For instance, if the AI determines your acceleration and agility need work, it might say: “Your acceleration and change-of-direction scores are a bit below average. Let’s focus on a faster first step out of your stance, cleaner plant angles on cuts, and quicker hip turns — try ladder work, the 5-10-5 shuttle, and resisted starts.”[29]. This is essentially a mini coaching plan: it identified the issue (acceleration, cutting technique) and immediately listed specific drills (ladder drills, shuttle run, etc.) to improve it.
Similarly, for a swing sport, the AI might notice something like swing tempo inconsistencies or clubface control issues. An example from sportFX’s demo: “Your tempo and face-to-path scores are slightly below average. Let’s aim for a steadier 3:1 tempo and better face control — use metronome half-swings, alignment-stick drills, and slow-motion reps to groove consistency.”[26]. In one sentence the app told you what to aim for (3:1 tempo, better face control) and gave concrete practice methods (metronome drills, alignment sticks, slow-mo swings).
- Iterative Guidance: After you work on those suggestions and upload new videos, the AI will note changes. It’s like an ongoing conversation. You can ask “What should I work on next?” and the app will update its advice based on your latest performance gains or remaining weaknesses[29]. This iterative loop – perform, get feedback, train, perform again – is how sportFX helps you continuously improve. The AI is relentlessly objective and focused on the data, so it will keep identifying the next area to polish as you progress.
- Plain English Coaching: All of this feedback is given in clear, non-technical language. sportFX was built so that even young athletes (and their parents) can understand the advice. There’s minimal jargon – and when terms like “face-to-path” or “smash factor” are used, they are accompanied by explanation or drills so you understand their impact. Essentially, it feels like getting advice from a knowledgeable coach rather than a spreadsheet. The AI coach has been trained by experts across the MLB, NFL, etc. to ensure the guidance is credible and sport-specific[9].
- Accessing the Training Center: In the app’s menu, the Training Center (or similarly named section) likely houses additional resources. This could include a library of drill instructions, video examples of proper technique, or educational articles on sports science. Leverage these resources as suggested by your AI coach. For example, if the coach says “try 5-10-5 shuttle runs,” the Training Center might have a tutorial on how to perform a 5-10-5 shuttle drill correctly. This integrated approach means you don’t have to leave the app to figure out how to do a drill – it’s all provided, keeping training effective, personalized, and motivating[2].
- Motivational Feedback: Beyond just critique, sportFX celebrates progress. When your metrics improve or you hit personal bests, expect the app (and AI coach) to acknowledge it. Positive reinforcement, like “Great job – your exit velocity increased and is now above your target!”, can be really encouraging. There may also be achievement badges or a progress tracker that rewards consistency (for example, hitting a new top speed might unlock an “Award” in your profile).
In summary, use the AI coach conversation as you would a real coach: ask it questions whenever you’re unsure, follow its training advice, and treat it as a guide that’s available anytime. The more you engage with it, the more value you’ll get. And remember, while the AI coach is very advanced, always apply common sense and listen to your body – if some advice seems off or too intense, you can tailor it. sportFX’s recommendations are general guidance, not strict prescriptions, and it always advises to consider expert human help for things like injury or health issues (AI advice is not a substitute for medical advice[30]).
By consistently analyzing your performance and applying the AI’s tips, you’ll be on a steady path to leveling up your game. The app’s motto “Your Game. Reimagined, Step by Step.” really comes to life through this feedback loop of ask, analyze, improve.
