How does the 'Coach Said' feature in SkateMarks work?

How Coach Said Works

Think of "Coach Said" as having a dedicated coaching voice right there on your phone, ready to break down what just happened in your child's skating session.

When your child lands a jump or executes a spin, SkateMarks captures that moment and analyzes it frame by frame. Instead of showing you confusing technical data, it translates what happened into clear, actionable coaching language—the kind of thing an experienced figure skating coach would actually say during a lesson. You'll see specific observations like "Your landing was solid, but your exit step was rushed" or "Nice extension in that spiral—now work on holding it a fraction longer."

The brilliance is that these notes appear instantly and chronologically as you review your child's practice. You're not just watching a video; you're watching it with a coach's perspective guiding you through the key moments. This is especially helpful for parents who skate themselves but may not have judging expertise, or for families who want meaningful feedback between lessons.

The notes focus on technique fundamentals that matter at your child's current level—things they can actually work on and improve.
