No setup. No calibration. No expensive equipment. Just your phone, your athlete, and a coaching cue you can use right now.

Select Pitching, Hitting, or Fielding at the top of the screen. Tell the app whether your athlete is left- or right-handed. That's it for setup — the AI automatically knows what to look for based on the sport you chose.
Point your phone at your athlete from a good angle — about 15–20 feet away, at waist height, facing their front side works best. Hit the red record button. You'll immediately see a skeleton overlay appear on your athlete's body in real-time.
Tap the stop button when you have the rep you want to analyze. The session is automatically saved to your library. Tap to open it — you'll see your video playing back with the pose skeleton overlaid. Scrub through frame by frame to see exactly what happened at each moment.
Tap "Generate AI Coaching Cue." The AI analyzes the pose data from your session and produces one specific, actionable cue — not a data report, not a list of numbers. A real coaching cue you can walk back to your athlete and say out loud.
One of the hardest parts of coaching is getting an athlete to trust the feedback. When you can show them the skeleton on your phone screen — "see how your elbow drops right here, at release?" — they stop arguing and start fixing.
Live pose overlay during recording session
"Glove arm is pulling down before front foot plants — this is causing early trunk rotation and robbing your pitcher of hip-shoulder separation. Think 'lead elbow to the sky' through the stride phase."
"Weight transfer is textbook — back hip drives through, front knee firms up at contact. Barrel path is slightly downward at approach; consider 'slight uphill swing thought' to improve launch angle."
Most analytics tools give you numbers. CoachPose gives you language. The AI understands baseball mechanics at a deep level — it knows what the mechanics mean for performance and how coaches talk to athletes.
For pitching and hitting, film from 45° to the front side at waist height. For fielding, directly in front works best. Keep the full body in frame.
Bright, even lighting — outdoors or gym — gives the best skeleton tracking. Harsh backlight (sun directly behind the athlete) can reduce accuracy.
More reps give the AI more data to analyze. 5–10 reps gives you a better representation of actual mechanics than a single throw or swing.
Too close cuts off the full body. Too far makes joint tracking less precise. 15–25 feet is the sweet spot for full-body pose accuracy.
No. Just your smartphone. CoachPose works on any modern iPhone or Android phone with a camera. No tripod needed — handheld works fine. No wearables, no sensors, no markers on the athlete.
Yes. CoachPose works indoors and outdoors. Standard gym or indoor facility lighting is enough. Brighter is always better for tracking accuracy, but the app handles most typical coaching environments.
CoachPose uses the same pose estimation technology trusted by research labs and sports scientists worldwide, tracking 33 body points with high confidence. The AI coaching cue is generated by a large language model trained on sports science and biomechanics. It's a coaching aid — not a replacement for your expertise as a coach, but a second pair of eyes that never blinks.
Yes. CoachPose works for athletes of any age and size. The pose estimation adapts to each athlete's body proportions automatically. Many coaches use it specifically for youth development because catching mechanical habits early — before they're ingrained — makes the biggest difference.
Your videos stay on your device. CoachPose does not upload your recording to any server. When you generate an AI coaching cue, the pose data (joint positions) — not the video itself — is sent securely to the AI provider. No video footage ever leaves your phone.
Yes. Before recording, toggle the left/right-handed setting at the top of the recording screen. The AI analysis will automatically flip the perspective and adjust what it looks for based on the athlete's dominant side.
