Coaching track & field comes with its own set of challenges—whether it’s organizing athletes by event or giving detailed feedback on technique. Onform helps make your job easier by offering tools designed specifically for track & field coaches. These features can save you time, keep your team organized, and give your athletes the insights they need to improve. Whether you’re working with sprinters, jumpers, or throwers, these features help you save time, keep track of progress, and give your athletes the support they need to perform at their best.
Team Organization by Event Group
Managing a track team means juggling athletes from different event groups, each with their own needs. Onform’s collections tool makes it easy to organize your athletes by event group, like sprinters, jumpers, and throwers. Plus, with a shared library feature, every video you or your athletes take is automatically saved to the cloud and shared. No more worrying about airdropping or texting files after practice —everything is in one place.
Side-by-Side Video Analysis
Showing your athletes exactly what’s working and needs improvement is the most effective way to give meaningful feedback. The side-by-side comparison tool lets you compare two videos at once, making it easier to point out technique changes over time or highlight small adjustments that can make a big difference. Whether it’s comparing a block start or a high jump approach, your athletes will be able to see their progress firsthand and understand exactly what they need to work on.
Dual-Angle Camera Mode
Sometimes one camera angle just isn’t enough. Multi-cam recording mode allows you to capture up to four different angles simultaneously, giving you a complete picture of your athlete’s technique. This is especially useful for events like hurdles, throws, or sprints, where seeing things from multiple perspectives—like from behind and from the side—can help you catch details that a single view might miss.
Video and Athlete Tagging
When you’re working with a large team, keeping track of hundreds of videos can quickly become overwhelming. Onform allows you to tag videos by athlete, by event, or anything else to help you stay organized. You can quickly find the videos you need without wasting time scrolling through your entire library. It’s a simple way to stay organized and make sure you’re always ready to share feedback with your athletes when they need it.
Built-in Timer for Sprinting and Jumping Events
Timing is a big part of track & field, whether you’re timing 30s at practice, tracking hurdle touchdown times, or measuring the flight time of a long jump takeoff. Onform’s built-in stopwatch makes timing easy. It’s integrated directly into the app, so you can record videos, then slow the video playback down to add the stopwatch exactly where you want to start and stop it.
Built-In Measurement
Distance and stride length are key metrics in track & field, especially for sprinters and jumpers. Onform’s Measurement Tool helps you track these with ease. You can measure broad jumps, stride lengths, or any other distances quickly, giving you instant feedback that you can share with your athletes right there at practice.
Onform’s tools are designed to make your life as a track & field coach easier and help you get the most out of your athletes. Whether it’s organizing your team, breaking down technique, or tracking key performance metrics, these features allow you to focus on what really matters—coaching.
