Erik Schjolberg, a seasoned PGA Associate and TPI Certified golf instructor, and owner of EJS Golf Academy, has integrated Onform into his lessons with impressive results. With nearly 30 years of experience, Erik has found Onform to be an invaluable tool for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of his coaching.
About Erik and EJS Golf Academy
Throughout his nearly three decades teaching golf, Erik has worked with players of all skill levels. He prides himself on a teaching philosophy that aims to help students improve immediately rather than getting worse before they get better. Incorporating video analysis from the onset of each lesson, allows his students to understand both what they need to work on and why. By the end of the lesson, he documents their progress and sends a comprehensive video lesson within 24-48 hours, including swing analyses and drills.
Transition to Onform
Erik discovered Onform on the App Store while searching for a more functional alternative to the video analysis app he was previously using. Dissatisfied with the limitations of his old app, Erik and EJS Golf made the switch to Onform and hasn’t looked back since.
Erik’s Favorite Features:
- Comprehensive Video Analysis:
- Erik uses Onform to show his students their current movements and compare them to better players. This visual feedback is crucial in helping students understand their posture, alignment, and grip, which are critical for improving ball flight.
- Streamlined Communication and Organization:
- One of Erik’s favorite aspects of Onform is that it consolidates all student interactions within the app. “From all of our communications, PDFs of launch monitor data, lesson videos, etc., all of it is captured in OnForm,” he explains. This integration saves him hours each week by eliminating the need to switch between multiple platforms for messages, videos, and files.
- Efficient Lesson Management:
- The auto-capture feature stands out for Erik, as it reliably takes high-quality videos, allowing him to focus on coaching during lessons. “The accuracy of the auto capture is crazy accurate. I love it!” he remarks, highlighting how this feature enhances his efficiency during sessions.
Impact on Teaching
Onform has significantly improved Erik’s teaching efficiency. The app’s all-in-one functionality allows him to save time on administrative tasks and focus more on delivering quality instruction. Students appreciate the ease of use and the detailed video feedback they receive, which helps reinforce the lessons and drills discussed during their sessions.
Feedback from Students
Erik’s students, especially those who transitioned from V1, have expressed a preference for Onform due to its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features. They find it easier to navigate and enjoy the seamless communication it facilitates with their instructor.
Suggestions for New Users
Erik advises new users to fully commit to Onform, taking advantage of the mass transfer feature to smoothly transition from their previous platform. “Go all in,” he recommends, ensuring they retain their old product for a short period to confirm everything has been successfully transferred.
The app’s robust video analysis and communication features have enhanced Erik’s teaching methods, making his sessions more effective and efficient. For golf instructors seeking to improve their coaching, Onform offers the tools needed to deliver exceptional results and foster continuous improvement among their students.
