Work with us remotely, from anywhere in the world,

How Does It Work?
Through the technological advancements made possible by the SportSense app, we now have an easy-to-use platform that makes 1-on-1 remote video coaching possible, right on your phone!
Start with a Goal Setting Session with your coach
Upload Clips of you riding, filmed from your phone or GoPro
Expert Analysis from your coach. We breakdown what we’re seeing through the analyzing tools in SportSense and make a feedback video using coach tools like slow-mo, joint angle overlay, side by side comparison, drawing of shapes or angles, etc.
Tips and Drills: Based on what you need for step-by-step progression, we prescribe drills or tasks for you to do next. We’ll supply example videos so you can see what to do!
Feedback and Tips: When you reach a point with your practice time that you want some feedback from your coach, record yourself doing it and upload it to the app for your coach to view and offer detailed analysis and tips on how to do it better.
