Section 1
Film study for regular kids
College and pro athletes spend hours watching film of themselves. They can afford coaches with fancy software. In 2026, your $800 iPhone plus a free app does most of what a $20,000 pro setup did 5 years ago. This is a huge unlock.
The tools
- HomeCourt: basketball shot analysis, tracks made/missed and form
- OnForm: tennis, golf, swim, any sport - slow-mo with markup
- Dartfish: the pro choice for high schools, used by NCAA coaches
- Kinovea: free desktop video analysis (free!)
- Hudl: team film analysis, used by 90% of high school football
- Apple Fitness+: guided workouts with AI form checks on your iPhone
HomeCourt vs. Dartfish for students
Compare the options
| HomeCourt (consumer) | Dartfish (pro) |
|---|---|
| Just open iPhone, start shooting | Needs more setup, but deeper features |
| Great for solo basketball practice | Great for team film sessions |
| Free with Pro tier at $15/mo | School subscription, often thousands |
| Instant feedback on your shot | Detailed biomechanical measurements |
| Best for self-improvement | Best for coaching decisions |
A real workout with AI
- 1Set up your phone on a mini tripod (like $10 on Amazon)
- 2Open HomeCourt or OnForm in practice mode
- 3Do your drill (jumpshots, tennis serves, swim laps)
- 4Review the AI markup: arm angle, foot placement, release timing
- 5Pick ONE thing to fix next rep
- 6Do another 10 reps with that fix in mind
- 7Review again. See improvement.
What AI can see
- Joint angles (elbow, knee, hip)
- Speed of movement
- Path of the ball or body
- Consistency across reps
- Side-by-side comparison with pros
- Simple things like 'your left hand dropped'
What AI cannot see
- How tired you are
- Game situation pressure
- Strategy and reading the defense
- Your mental state
- Injuries building up silently
Nutrition and sleep tools
- MyFitnessPal + AI: tracks what you eat, suggests balance
- Oura Ring / Whoop: measures sleep and recovery, gives AI-based suggestions
- Apple Health: aggregates all your health data, AI insights coming
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI video analysis is coach-quality feedback in your pocket. Use it to fix one small thing at a time. Respect what AI cannot see - your body, your rest, and your real coach's eye.
