NOVI, Michigan – V1 Sports, the pioneer in swing video analysis solutions for coaches and athletes, has introduced its latest coaching app, V1 COACH. The new iOS and Android app adds new AI features to golf’s leading swing video analysis tools, which are designed to save coaches time and energy in managing their business, allowing them to focus more on developing strong player relationships and delivering world-class instruction.
Drawing on insights gathered from thousands of coaches, including numerous featured on GOLF’s Top 100 Teachers list, V1 Sports recognized a significant opportunity to enrich the coach-player relationship not through the introduction of new swing video analysis tools, but ones that elevate a coach’s business, specifically:
● AI-Powered Lesson Follow Up – Using AI, V1 COACH automatically sends personalized follow ups to students in the V1 GOLF app. Internal data shows that V1 Sports coaches who use the lesson delivery function with their students via V1 GOLF app are twice as likely to see students return for subsequent lessons.
● New Athlete Management System with Chat – Organize everything under an athlete profile with the ability to chat in-app with athletes to centralize all communications in one place.
● Automated Engagement – Coaches can now create automated player communications, including lesson reminders, making it easier to stay top of mind with their players and manage their business.
● Digital Pro Shop – Create a custom pro shop within their athletes’ V1 GOLF app for athletes to purchase lessons and buy merchandise.
“Almost 30 years ago, V1 Sports created the online video lesson, winning thousands of the best golf instructors across the world as clients,” said Alex Prasad, CEO of V1 Sports. “As we set about to reinvent our product, the V1 Sports team spent hundreds of hours with our customers, with the goal of delivering a solution that addressed their biggest challenges.
“Overwhelmingly, we heard that, though they know it is vital to the health and growth of their business, they simply do not have the bandwidth to follow up and stay in touch with their golfers. They told us that they didn’t want more new tools, but rather solutions that saved them time, kept them top of mind with their customers and that made their lives easier.
“Given the resounding positive response we’ve had from the hundreds of instructors that are already using V1 COACH on a daily basis, I feel that we’ve hit the mark.”
V1 COACH also features enhanced remote lesson delivery capabilities, fostering accelerated improvement which ultimately leads to customer retention. In addition to improved online lesson delivery, V1 COACH offers higher video quality, faster processing speeds and improved voice-over-video lessons feature to send to students for future viewing in their V1 GOLF app.
