Every practice in your club, on the record.
Coach Sidekick turns what coaches say at practice into one record for the whole club: feedback for every player and family in the coach's own words, a Debrief for every coach, and every team at a glance for directors.
Christopher, use your body. Shield it, then turn away from the pressure.
One record. The whole club runs on it.
This isn't a voice recorder with a summary attached. Recordings, plans, assessments, scouting and evaluator visits all land in one record, kept for every player, coach and team, and every part of Coach Sidekick works from it.

One moment on the pitch, all the way back to the player.
Follow one piece of feedback from Tuesday's practice: what Ella did, what her coach said, where it went, and what happened on Saturday.
Example player. Step 7 is a real screen from the family app.
Every player's season, on one map.
Coaching here runs on one vocabulary: 164 skills across four domains, linked to over 350 drills. Each player has a map of it that fills in as the season is recorded, with rings for how often the coaching touched a skill and colour for what the coach has assessed. Coaches see it on every player's profile.

His second read moves scanning and her open-body first touch up a band. Fill is always the coach's judgment, rings are always measured, and neither is a score.

The skill map from the coach app, with its real areas and layout. Ella and her season are a demo.
The coach gets feedback too.
It starts with a plan, written in the coach's own words or taken from the curriculum. Coach Sidekick reads it, and after the session the Debrief checks the coaching against it, from the coach's approved notes. Every mark opens the comment behind it.
The plan
Written by the coach, Monday night
Switch play early and often. Get them scanning before the ball arrives. I want to ask more than I tell, and make sure Jonah gets involved. Win Saturday.

Reflection
You named 11 of 12 players, and Jonah heard nothing from you directly. Most of what you said was instruction. Your plan asked for more questions, and about 9% of your coaching acts were questions.
Written from the session itself. Every number is checked against what was said.
Built differently, on purpose.
Other tools turn a coach's voice into notes, or a camera's footage into stats. Coach Sidekick keeps the coach's own words, keeps the coach in charge, and builds one record that players, families and clubs can trust.
Every note shows the words it came from.
Voice-note apps hand back a summary. Here each note keeps the coach's quote and the moment in the session it was said.
Families, directorsRead more
Nothing reaches a family until the coach approves it.
Edit, reassign or remove anything first. Monthly family reports go through the same review.
Coaches, familiesRead more
You see who heard nothing from you.
Feedback is credited to the player it was said to, so the Debrief can name who wasn't reached.
CoachesRead more
Coaches get feedback on their own coaching.
A private Debrief after every session: how you coached, against your plan, with the comment behind every mark.
CoachesRead more
Directors see the coaching, and coaches know they can.
Clubs choose whether Debriefs are visible to directors, coaches are told, and a weekly export can be scheduled to your inbox.

Parents stay in control of their child's record.
Review what's held, see the consent history, withdraw consent or request deletion from the family app.
FamiliesRead more
Families never see a score or a ranking.
Families see their own child's notes and drills, never a ranking against teammates. Evaluations are recorded by club staff and stay with the club.
