Coaching by video usually means a phone, a text thread, and a voice note that describes a moment neither person can point at. The advice is fine. It just arrives detached from the thing it is about, and a week later the player remembers the tone and not the fix.
A video review in Elite Coach Booking is a product you sell and a piece of work you deliver, and the delivery happens on the video itself.
If you are coming from a video analysis app, the CoachNow alternative compares the two.
It is an offer, not an appointment
A video review is published the same way your other offers are, and it behaves like a real product. You set the price. You set the turnaround in calendar days, anywhere from one to fourteen. You set how many outstanding reviews you are prepared to owe, and when you hit that number the offer stops selling until you catch up.
It then gets its own page on your coaching site, under your brand, which is the link you send when someone asks whether you work with players who are not local.
What it does not do is take a slot. There is no booking, no calendar hold, and no drive.
What the client actually does
They buy, they confirm the footage is theirs to share, and they upload. Up to three clips, ten minutes and five gigabytes between them. Video shot on a modern iPhone is handled, including the efficient formats that usually break uploaders, and an upload that drops out resumes instead of starting over.
Then they wait for the clock you set, which starts at the moment the clips land rather than the moment the payment clears. A client who buys on Sunday and uploads two weeks later has not quietly spent your two weeks.
The studio is the feature
You could answer with a recorded video of yourself talking, or by pasting a Loom link, and both are supported. The reason to use the studio is that it puts your voice on top of their footage.
Press record and coach. Play it, stop it, step a single frame forward or back, drop to half or quarter speed, and loop the three seconds that contain the problem. While you talk, draw on the frame: an arrow, a straight line, a circle, a box, a freehand mark, or an angle when the question is how far something moved. Put two clips side by side, aligned on the moment you choose, when the argument is this rep against that one.
All of it is captured together. The athlete does not get a description of what you did. They get your voice, your pauses, your slow motion, and your drawings, replayed the way you made them.
What the athlete keeps
Every delivered review carries three written takeaways, and they are the same three every time, because a review that is only a video is hard to act on the following Tuesday.
What went well. What to change. What to practice next.
Underneath, you can leave notes pinned to timestamps on the original clip, so a moment worth returning to is one tap away rather than a scrub through ten minutes. You can add still images when a photograph makes the point faster than footage.
Delivered reviews stay open to the athlete for ninety days.
Private until you send it, and private after
Drafts belong to you. Nothing you record, draw, or write is visible to the client until you preview the review as they will see it and deliberately deliver it.
After that it stays private in the ordinary sense too. The footage is not published anywhere. Video plays from short lived signed links rather than a public address, images and voice recordings sit in private storage, and every email in the exchange goes out under your brand from your own verified sending domain.
The guardrails run themselves
Two refunds are automatic, and both are shown before anyone pays. If a client buys and never submits a clip, the purchase refunds after thirty days. If a client submits and you have not delivered thirty days later, their money goes back.
They exist so that the offer can be sold honestly to a stranger. A player in another state buying from a coach they have never met is making a small leap of faith, and the product should carry that risk rather than the client.
The money side
Video reviews are charged directly on your own connected Stripe account, and Elite Coach Booking adds no fee of its own to what the client pays for one. You are the one selling the review, and you remain the one being paid for it. Stripe’s own processing fees apply, as they do everywhere else. See payments for how the rest of it works.
What this pairs with
Video coaching sells well beside the things that already fill your week. A player finishing a package of in person lessons has an obvious reason to keep sending clips between them, and a membership gives the relationship somewhere to live once the six lessons are done.
Video coaching is part of Elite, at $79 a month, alongside programs, memberships and waivers. Core, at $39 a month, is for coaches whose site books one-to-one lessons. Stripe’s own processing fees apply either way.
