Elessons allow you, the sports coach to utilize today's technology and take your instruction to the next level. By blending the computer, camera and the Internet, communication between student and coach improves as they work together toward their technical goals, resulting in an improvement in students' understanding of concepts presented.

About Video: To analyze motion and communicate visual images to their students, the majority of sports coaches use video. A valuable tool, video allows coaches to blend the two major learning styles of athletes: visual and feel. Often, athletes are surprised to see that what they feel they are doing looks very different from what is actually happening. Understanding those differences inevitably speeds up the learning process. Without doubt, the high quality of video equipment on the market today combined with ever reducing costs to purchase equipment are among the most useful developments for sports coaches in the last decade.

Problems with video alone: Most students have difficulty analyzing motion. For this reason, most coaches will show athletic positions by walking the student through the video frame by frame. Often, coaches will supply the athlete with a copy of their video for future reference. However, without the instructor present, students usually have difficulty analyzing their own motion. As a result, the message is often lost from one lesson to the next.

Technological advancements that make elessons possible: With digital video cameras and computers, it is now easy to clip high-resolution still frames from moving video. These frames can be individually edited with key points highlighted. Only recently has the quality of video capture been high enough to clearly show a baseball bat moving at over 120 mph.

Blending the video camera, the computer and the Internet: elessons4sports.com provides the perfect forum for coaches to publish elessons for their students. Easy to use templates allow the coach to upload still photos complete with text description of the athlete's tendencies and corrections. The elessons are stored on private WebPages, accessible only by the student and the coach through a user name and password. Students have the ability to refer back to their lesson 24x7 from anywhere in the world. They can revue the lesson when they have time to look carefully at the pictures and absorb the message in the text. Of course, the elessons can also be printed and used as a reference at the next practice session.

Isn't it time you become an elessons coach and start developing all of your students into "Clients for Life"?
