Yes, but we use it for specific things, not for full match play analysis and certainly not for scoring. The day we use it for everything is coming, but not today.

Children are usually good visual learners. 135 provides them with a system to watch and analyze their own match in a meaningful way ie not just on a phone screen.

They do so after consults, videos and reports are produced to add even more meaning to the experience because they’re looking for the content we’ve delivered to them.

We want to maintain the integrity and high level of consulting value we provide to players and parents. There’s also a cost involved in training coaches to consult to our systems.

Yes, it’s possible, although difficult. The first reason is that SILVER players have less matches in the system than GOLD, so the consulting experience won’t be anywhere near as good – something to which parents don’t take too kindly when their children are involved.

The second reason is that coaches do not have system rights to generate reports. Only Partners and 135 have those rights. 

We expect it to happen, but we have systems in place to mitigate the issue when we spot it. If found, it’s always dealt with through our 135 Partner.

We consider coaches to be our number one clients. Parents pay the bills, but it’s the coach who recommends they do it.

Beyond that, if we provide information to a player independent of their coach, our reporting and consulting will have little to no effect, because it won’t translate to training on the practice court.

We want to have a long relationship with each player. The only logical way to do this is through their coach.

Always the player.

Usually the parent, although this can be dependent on the age of the player.

Sometimes the coach. The coach is more likely to attend the first one or two sessions with a player. After that, most coaches with whom we work use our 5 minute video at the start of the player’s next private lesson for a brief overview of what was discussed.
