This was inevitable… That AI would “learn” how to coach from video… At this stage, you have to be dedicated to take/make the time to set all of this up, but it’s still amazing to see how good it’s getting. Of course the feedback will be generic unless instructed to do otherwise, but that’s already […]

In yesterday’s post, we covered how to extract cues and clues from freestyle swimming and apply them to squash. Today, it’s the same exercise, but applied to table tennis.

Mental Models are the key to effective Deliberate Practice. This video short VISUALLY SHOWS the differences for a backhand slice in tennis. A Mental Model is the representation you need to have ‘in your mind’ when executing the action so the neural associations can be created ‘visually’ to match and synchronise the physical manifestations… Autonomically.
