How long have you used siliconcoach

8 Years

Siliconcoach product used:

siliconcoach PRO7

Key features you use:

Splitscreen
The splitscreen feature allows me to visually highlight performance differences between good and bad technique. I can compare a surfer's manoeuvre with a more correct model featuring another surfer, or simply compare the same surfer in the same situation, one performed incorrectly, one performed well

Stopwatch
When used with the splitscreen feature, the stopwatch display can visually highlight the difference between correct timing in good performance, and incorrect timing (usually rushed movements) in some surfing manoeuvres. There is a "holding" phase in some surfing manoeuvres, where a body position is held for a longer duration to utilize the wave's power effectively. When the holding phase is used correctly, there is an effective marrying of the surfer's and wave's power.

How do you use siliconcoach?

I use Siliconcoach to visually provide correct technique examples when in theory sessions at training camps. After each training camp everyone receives a personalised dvd report produced using siliconcoach. These dvds usually contain between 3 - 8 skill presentations, that the surfers can watch when they return to their "home" beach.

In addition, Siliconcoach is an integral part of my distance coaching program, where surfers send footage of their surfing for review and analysis.

Benefits of using siliconcoach

Siliconcoach has allowed me to provide ongoing support to surfers long after the training camps have finished. The dvds, created using Siliconcoach, act as a surrogate coach whenever the surfer chooses to view it. It is a powerful addition to the training of all motivated athletes.

Since using Siliconcoach, my surfers have readily perfected skills, that, in the past, were difficult to change. In addition, the personalised training dvd everyone receives acts as a tremendous advertising vehicle for my business. The surfers show their mates, and this provides belief that Surfcoach.com is the place to go to improve surfing performances.
