Virtual Personal Coaching Gives Parents Hope For Youth Team Sports Performance An important article analyzing the quality and effectiveness of the coaching of youth team sports, such as soccer and basketball, has been published by athlete coaching authority, Blayze. Distractions in learning environments play a critical role in impacting athlete performance improvements. It appears that this is mostly due to distractions coming from teammates. Fear is also one of the biggest challenges young athletes struggle to overcome. Many are afraid of being negatively coached by rough, overzealous coaches. There is also anxiety about making mistakes and being embarrassed in front of their peers, and by how the coach reacts. Concerns about what their teammates may be thinking about them are also important. On top of this, it has been reported that only 5% of youth coaches have relevant training, and those that do have qualifications are overworked by having to teach or work a side job and manage upwards of 50 athletes at a time. It is therefore not surprising that the vast majority of developing athletes strongly prefer one-on-one coaching. This allows them to focus and set individual goals, whilst operating in a “protected space”. The report references a fascinating study that concludes that students perform in the top 2% of their peer group when provided with access to one-on-one learning. One-on-one coaching will help athletes of all skill levels, not just elite players. Huge gains are obtained, particularly for the players that feel a bit forgotten or neglected. However, can players and their parents really afford to hire expert one-on-one coaches? Most likely not, if it were to be consistently provided in- person. This would easily cost more than a thousand dollars per month per athlete. Blayze has solved this problem by building on a model solidly proven to deliver all the advantages of expert personal professional coaching at a vastly reduced cost, as much as 95% less than in-person coaching. Players first choose which coach they want to work with and then upload videos of specific skill-based activities or in-game footage. The coach then delivers detailed personalized analysis integrated into that same video, with concrete recommendations for improvements and skills development.
