For Mentors
& Coaches.
Once you're set up, here are some of the deeper features in sportsense that help you coach more effectively.
5.1
Voice Tagging
Narrate while you film, and sportsense auto-tags the actions and users straight from your audio, with nothing to type afterwards.
- Record a video using the sportsense camera while calling out rider names and what they're doing.
- When you post the video, the app transcribes your voice and creates tags automatically.
- Tags make it easy for riders to find their clips and for you to reference specific moments later.
5.2
Adding Feedback to Posts
When posting a video to the feed, you can select Add Feedback to layer coaching notes onto the video before sharing it.
- Select Add Feedback when posting a video to a feed.
- Make final edits to the video and write or transcribe a description.
- The app can auto-tag the sport if the feed already has a sport set.
- Post it to the feed for the crew to see with your coaching notes attached.
5.3
Field Feedback via Screen Recording
Giving in-person feedback? Screen record it in the app, and sportsense files it to the candidate's feed with a transcript and summary.
- While giving feedback in the analyzer, press the screen record button to capture your screen and voice.
- Stop the recording when you are done, and the clip is saved into the feed automatically.
- The app transcribes the audio and summarises the key points as text alongside the video.
- The candidate sees the full clip and the written summary in their feed for later review.
5.4
Get Your Videos Featured on Instagram
As a mentor, you can get standout videos from your course featured on the GSMBC Instagram. Just add rich@sportsensetech.com to your feed, which gives Rich access to the content you're capturing on course so the best clips can be shared with the wider community.
Course
Workflow.
Add your athletes
Add every athlete on the course into the feed. For the best experience they should download sportsense, which is always free for athletes to view their feeds.
Film and describe
As you film, talk over what you are seeing, and that spoken feedback is automatically transcribed when you share it in the next step.
Share it
Share it into the feed. sportsense tags the rider and the skill, and transcribes your feedback.
Set the feed up, get everyone in, then run the loop above all season.
- Create the course feed first. Name it with the convention below (Course_Location_Date), set the sport to Mountain Biking, and add Shannon and Rich for GSMBC oversight.
- Add every athlete fast. Drop the feed invite link in the welcome email so they join before they arrive, and show the feed QR at kickoff for anyone who still needs to download sportsense or join.
- Prefer to review later? Capture your clips on the hill, then analyze and share them after. Same workflow, just shifted in time.
