Before
Note the athlete’s goal, current limitation, available space and any injuries or restrictions they have shared.
COACH / RESOURCE HUB
Make the work between sessions count.
A good coach does more than fill an hour. These simple tools help you brief a session, give useful homework and create a clear next step without adding another complicated platform.
A repeatable session brief
Write the outcome first: what should the athlete notice, practise and be able to repeat by the end? Then choose one technical theme, one movement constraint and one intensity target. This keeps feedback specific and gives the athlete something they can practise safely at home.
During
Use short cues—one correction at a time—and leave enough rounds for the athlete to feel the change rather than chase instructions.
After
Send one confidence-building win and one small homework drill. A short plan is more likely to be repeated than a long list.
Useful between-session homework
Shadowboxing, footwork and rhythm drills can reinforce coached work when the athlete has a clear boundary: a small space, a timer, a defined round count and permission to stop if something hurts. ShadowCoach can provide structure and form prompts between sessions; it is a supplement to coaching, not a replacement for hands-on instruction.
- Set a focused round timer for a prescribed pace.
- Generate a simple drill around the day’s technical theme.
- Review form at home with guard, balance and recovery in mind.
FOR ATHLETES BETWEEN SESSIONS
Keep the next round obvious.
