Distance coaching allows riders and coaches to obtain feedback on training sessions and competitions using video footage. Mary can view the footage many times. This helps to first recognise the fault, and then to work out the cause. It is also useful to see the method used for successful performance, which helps correct progression.
The advantages of this form of coaching are as follows:
Riders can access help from their home. Travelling is unnecessary.
Riders and coaches are not isolated from coaching input.
Riders can obtain feedback from competition performance.
Coaches can obtain feedback on coaching sessions
Method: video footage is downloaded onto YouTube, Vimeo, WhatsApp, or Dropbox. The reference is then entered in the Product Form for Distance Coaching.
