In that case I would like to be a tester in your project

How are you planning on keeping a consistent message to single bowler when more than one coach may be involved?  Will each profile (bowler) be given a certain amount of storage space to keep videos (or links at least) along with an instruction journal?  This would allow each bowler to get consistent coaching where Coach B can look at what Coach A is suggesting and continue with the education or reinforce if needed.

I think you answered your own question.

What could happen is that, depending on physical location (read: the coaches are sitting there in the same room), the coaches could analyze the video, take separate notes, then come together and discuss what notes they have, what they would suggest that the bowler should work on, etc. etc. In short, review each other's suggestions, come to a good consensus (especially if they suggested the same thing), and send that unified list back to the bowler as a list on what to work on.

That way, coach A and Coach B would have their input taken into consideration, as well as their own suggestions on what to do. It wouldn't be truly contradictory as long as the coaches know about what the other is suggesting to do.

Hi guys. I am going to try to stay as active in this thread as possible. The next week is going to be pretty busy with the US Open here in Vegas for the next 7 days. I relayed a lot of this feedback to the owner and he gave me some notes to answer a few points.

As far as demand, the owner, A USBC Silver Level Coach with 10+ years of Collegiate Coaching experience is running this startup full time as his career. We can assure you that the hands on efforts with clients and relay of information will be communicated efficiently and within the time window that will be assigned to each video submission.

As far as dealing with multiple coaches, the team of coaches work closely together in the industry and have been for years. Because of the emphasis on short lessons/drills, the cost can be kept at an affordable amount while still allowing a coach to do this full time and have full access to the members including additional benefits without paying a premium price. Think of it as this:

Bowler A- Has been bowling league for 4 years, current average 175. Bowler submits a 5 minute video showing 5 shots in a row of the full approach from behind and to the side, The bowler also submits a video at lane level so the coach can analyze release as well.  Bowler submits the video.

-Bowler A is greeted automatically by auto-responder with the name of the coach assigned to him, the ETA/delivery date of the video analysis.

-The Bowler's coach then contacts him with a warm welcome, asking about some of that bowler's goals and what they are looking to achieve. The bowler's video then will be analyzed, voiceover'd, and sent back with an accompanying video analysis and drills to practice for the next video submission. The coach gives the player a regimen to work on and asks for a follow up video at a later date which gives the player time to practice, implement the changes suggested before shooting the next video. Things progress from there.

The assigned coach may collaborate with other coaches behind the scenes on your work, but your assigned coach will be the one relaying all of the information. As membership grows, we already have a plan in place to cover the demands of additional part time/full time staff.

I think this is going to be a wonderful tool for those who may live somewhere where there's no access to good bowling coaches. Or to parents of middle school/high school aged kids. Women's NCAA and Mens NAIA Collegiate bowling is at an all time high and a lot of kids are getting full scholarships to universities for bowling. In Womens Collegiate bowling, some of these schools have such a large surplus of scholarship money for NCAA womens athletics, that you have girls coming out of high school with a 175-180 average and getting full ride 4 year scholarships to bowl.

I can't think of a better resource to potentially send your child away to college for absolutely free. The owner of this program has been coaching at the collegiate level for over 10 years, has coached high school as well, and many of his students have went on to receive athletic scholarships for Womens NCAA Bowling. Mens NAIA Bowling now gives scholarships as well so we are hoping to catch a big segment of that market as well.

We may be contacting some people directly from the multiple channels we have been reaching out to for our beta/pilot program. I will have more information on that after the weekend.

Take care everyone, and keep the questions coming.
