Shared understanding between coach and athlete
Make feedback clearer and easier to understand.
Protern helps coaches and athletes see the same information and talk about performance in the same way.
Clear communication in training
Help athletes understand what you are asking for
Good coaching depends on clear communication. Athletes improve faster when they understand what the coach sees and why changes are needed.
With traditional timing systems and video tools, feedback often relies on explanation alone. Athletes may remember parts of the message, but not always the full picture.
Protern helps coaches and athletes look at the same runs, video, and performance data. This creates a shared reference point for feedback and learning.

How Protern supports shared understanding
One shared view of performance
Coaches and athletes see the same video and performance data.
This removes guesswork and helps everyone talk about the same moments in the run.
Clear objective feedback
Performance changes are shown visually with the video.
This makes feedback easier to understand than words alone.
Less interpretation, more clarity
Traditional feedback often relies on explanation and memory.
Protern gives athletes a clear reference they can return to.
Supports different learning styles
Some athletes learn best by seeing, others by comparing.
Protern supports both by combining video and performance data.
Reviewing runs together
Shared review helps athletes connect feedback to what actually happened in the run.
Seeing video and performance data together makes explanations clearer.
-
Watch the video with the data overlays visible
-
Advance frame-by-frame or play in slow-motion to understand the impact on performance
-
Change the data overlay for deeper analysis
-
Agree on what to focus on for the next run
Athletes reviewing their own runs
Understanding improves when athletes can review runs on their own.
Protern allows athletes to revisit feedback without extra work from the coach.
-
Video and data are shared automatically with the athlete
-
Athlete reviews the run after training
-
Athlete explores speed and performance changes
-
Athlete prepares questions or focus points for the next session
Comparing runs to support learning
Comparing runs helps athletes see what changed and why.
This supports learning beyond a single explanation.
-
Select two runs to compare
-
Protern automatically aligns videos based on the athlete location on the course
-
Use the video and data to see where performance changed
-
Use the comparison to reinforce coaching feedback
