Paris 2024: Onform Supports Coaches Across All 32 Sports

As athletes at heart, the team here at Onform is anxiously awaiting the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony later this week. While we often focus on some of our most popular sports – golf, track & field, baseball, softball, and swimming – this is a great opportunity to highlight a few others. In the spirit of the upcoming Olympics, we did a quick analysis and found that coaches are using Onform across every single Olympic sport. Yes, from fencing to breakdancing, tennis to volleyball, and synchronized swimming to archery, tens of thousands of coaches use Onform’s video analysis tools every day to improve their athletes’ performance and perfect their form.

Paris 2024 Coach Spotlight: Gary Aldrich and More

We are incredibly proud to have several coaches heading to the Paris Olympics with their athletes. For example, one of our biggest track & field supporters, Gary Aldrich, has been named as the throws coach for the U.S. team. He uses Onform to help his athletes refine their technique, and we can’t wait to hear about his experience in Paris when he returns.

And Gary isn’t the only one. Several of our coaches are either coaching the U.S. team or have athletes competing in the games, and we couldn’t be more excited for them. We intentionally designed Onform to be simple enough for local club or high school teams, while still being advanced enough for coaches to use at the highest levels in sport, like the Olympic Games.

A Universal Tool for Every Sport

Instead of going into detail about all 32 sports, let’s look at a few examples to highlight Onform’s versatility. Many features loved by a swim coach will also be loved by a table tennis coach or a windsurfing coach.

First, the sports you see us talk about all the time:

• Golf: Precision is key in golf, and our platform allows coaches to dissect every swing, so players can fine-tune their techniques for optimal performance. Many coaches are also using our integration with launch monitors like Full Swing KIT to add ball and club data to every video.
• Track and Field: From sprinting to pole vaulting, track & field coaches use features like the stopwatch tool and side-by-side comparison to improve every aspect of an athlete’s form, leading to faster and more powerful performances.
• Swimming: Slow-motion playback and frame-by-frame analysis allows coaches to provide detailed feedback on starts, turns, and stroke mechanics to shave off those critical seconds.

Beyond the Spotlight Sports

While golf, track & field, and swimming are three of our most popular sports and often get a front row seat in our conversations, the Onform app is used across all 32 sports In the Summer Olympics. Coaches at this level, and every level below them, are using video analysis to help their athletes achieve their true potential.

• Basketball: Using short-form video to break down dribbling, shooting, and defensive techniques, helping players fine-tune their skills and improve court performance.
• Fencing: Precision and timing are critical in fencing, and Onform allows coaches to review bouts frame-by-frame, helping fencers perfect their thrusts and parries.
• Gymnastics: With the ability to break down complex routines, coaches can provide gymnasts with detailed insights to further improve their technique and execution to maximize the points scored.
• Weightlifting: Analyzing lifts from multiple angles helps athletes maintain proper form and avoid injuries while striving for their personal bests.
• Volleyball: Both indoor and beach volleyball teams use Onform to improve their serves, spikes, and defensive maneuvers for a more cohesive and effective play.
• Tennis: Coaches use Onform to analyze serve mechanics, footwork, and rally strategies, providing players with the insights needed to outplay their opponents on the court.

And that’s just a few. Archery, wrestling, synchronized swimming, breakdancing—Onform is there, supporting athletes and coaches in their journey to the top of their sport.
