The fact that athletic training can happen effectively online will have a long-reaching impact on sports going forward.
Olympics come around, we all see how sports have the potential to break down global barriers. However, the truth is that not all aspiring athletes have access to the kind of elite coaching necessary to make it to the games. But thanks to remote technology, and my own recent experience of coaching virtually, I can see how this is going to change in the years to come.
I pivoted my plan to incorporate video analysis into my Teleskates and have been doing that ever since. I still meet with my skaters while we’re both logging in from home, but they send me videos from their practices, filmed either by their parents or other coaches. We watch these videos together through screen share and I harness the unparalleled power of slow-motion . Let’s just say a lot of cringing happens when athletes see their mistakes for themselves.
This isn’t just possible in the figure skating world. Former triathlete Mackenzie Madison is also leveraging video to help her athletes remotely. She is based in Oregon but coaches triathletes around the world. She does the majority of her work through social media and texting and enhances her video analysis of running and swimming form with apps like. A self-described data geek, she’s also using Garmin, GPS, and Training Peaks to track her athletes’ progress from afar.
With my skaters, I’m still combining off-ice exercises with video analysis. Daniela Senitta, mother of Charlotte, age 12, is happy to see how much stronger her daughter is getting from the off-ice portions of our lessons. Senitta, who is also a former figure skater, says, “I can see that this is translating to how she’s performing on the ice.”
