Coach Lab Academy

Coach Lab Academy teaches the recommended V1 workflow: upload videos into CoachLab after preparing them on YouTube, Drive, or your camera roll.

1. YouTube workflow guide

• Upload athlete footage to YouTube as Unlisted (not Public) for privacy.
• Download the MP4 from YouTube Studio or a trusted downloader, then import the file into CoachLab.
• Use one clip per session; trim in YouTube or your editor before upload for faster analysis.

2. Instagram workflow guide

• Save Reels or posts to your device (screen recording or creator export).
• Transfer via AirDrop, Google Drive, or email — avoid fragile link pasting inside CoachLab.
• Import the saved MP4 with Upload Video in Session & record or the empty canvas.

3. Video organization system

• Folder per athlete in Google Drive: Raw, CoachLab exports, Published.
• Name files: Athlete_LastName_YYYYMMDD_skill.mp4.
• Keep a Google Doc lesson log: date, focus, clips used, notes for the athlete.
• YouTube Unlisted = shareable archive; CoachLab = active coaching canvas.

4. Copyright & usage guidelines

• Only analyze footage you have rights to use (your athletes, club license, or written consent).
• Do not redistribute third-party broadcast or pro-league content without permission.
• Screen recordings for coaching feedback to the athlete are generally fine; public reposting is not.
• When in doubt, get consent and keep originals private.

5. Recommended CoachLab setup

1. Upload primary video (left slot).
2. Optional: add comparison video (right slot) for side-by-side technique work.
3. Use Draw tools + Skeleton overlay; enable Precision on phone for fine marks.
4. Record screen with Session & record when ready to send feedback.
