Assign it. They do it.
AI confirms it.
Coaches prescribe specific practice drills with clear goals. Students complete them and submit video. AI verifies the work was done — so you know they’re not just saying they practiced.
The Prescription Loop
Coach assigns. Student completes. AI verifies. Repeat.
Create
Coach creates a prescription (drill, goal, deadline).
Receive
Student receives it in their dashboard.
Practice
Student records practice and submits.
Verify
AI checks for drill completion markers.
Review
Coach sees verified results in their queue.
Why Accountability Matters
Faster Improvement with Tracked Practice
Students who log and track their practice sessions improve at roughly twice the rate of those who practice the same amount without any tracking system. The act of recording and submitting practice changes behavior. Players become more intentional about what they work on, how long they spend, and whether they are actually performing the drills their coach assigned. Stroke Gained turns this principle into a system that works automatically.
Of Lesson Content Is Forgotten by the Next Session
Research on skill retention shows that without reinforcement, students forget the majority of what they learned within days. In golf instruction, this means the detailed feedback your coach gave you on Tuesday is largely gone by Saturday. Prescriptions bridge this gap by converting lesson takeaways into concrete tasks with deadlines. Instead of trying to remember what your coach said, you open your dashboard and see exactly what to practice, how to do it, and when it is due.
Example Prescriptions
Real drills that coaches assign through Stroke Gained, with AI verification built in.
Alignment Stick Gate Drill
Goal: Hit 20 consecutive 7-iron shots through a gate set 8 feet in front of the ball, width of the club face plus 2 inches on each side. Track how many shots pass through cleanly versus how many clip a stick.
AI Verification: AI confirms the presence of alignment sticks in the video frame, verifies the player is using a 7-iron based on setup posture and club length, and counts the number of swings in the submitted video to ensure the required volume was completed.
Feet-Together Balance Drill
Goal: Hit 15 full swings with feet together using a pitching wedge. Maintain balance through the finish on at least 12 of 15 swings. This drill trains sequencing and tempo by removing the lower body's ability to compensate for poor timing.
AI Verification: AI analyzes foot position at address to confirm feet are together, tracks body stability through impact and follow-through, and flags any swings where the player steps out of position before completing the finish.
9-to-3 Pitch Shot Repetitions
Goal: Hit 30 pitch shots with hands going from 9 o'clock on the backswing to 3 o'clock on the follow-through. Focus on maintaining consistent shaft lean at impact and controlling low point. Use a sand wedge or lob wedge.
AI Verification: AI measures backswing length relative to body position to confirm the player is staying within the prescribed range. It tracks wrist angle through impact to assess shaft lean consistency and counts total repetitions across all submitted videos.
Accountability changes behavior.
When students know their practice is verified, they practice differently. They stop going through the motions and start working with purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AI verification work?
When a student submits practice video, the AI analyzes the footage using the same pose estimation engine that powers Swing Check. It looks for specific markers defined in the prescription: club type, drill setup, repetition count, body positions, and completion criteria. For example, if a prescription calls for feet-together swings, the AI verifies that the student's feet are actually together throughout each swing. It does not judge quality. That is the coach's job. The AI confirms that the student did what was assigned.
What counts as completing a prescription?
Completion is defined by the coach when they create the prescription. It might be a number of repetitions, a specific drill setup, or a combination of both. When the student submits video, the AI checks whether the submission meets the criteria the coach set. If the student submits 12 swings but the prescription calls for 20, it shows as partially complete. The coach can then decide whether to accept partial completion or ask the student to finish the remaining reps.
Can students add notes to their practice submissions?
Yes. Students can attach text notes to any submission describing how the practice felt, what they noticed, or questions for their coach. This context helps coaches understand the student's experience beyond what the video shows. A student might note that the drill felt easier on the last 10 reps, or that they struggled with balance when the wind picked up. These observations often lead to more productive follow-up conversations.
How do coaches track progress across multiple prescriptions?
The coach dashboard shows every active prescription across all students, organized by status: pending, in progress, completed, and overdue. Coaches can filter by student, drill type, or date range. Over time, this builds a complete history of what each student practiced between lessons, when they did it, and whether they completed what was assigned. It replaces the guesswork of asking students if they practiced.
Is there a time limit on prescriptions?
Coaches set their own deadlines when creating each prescription. A prescription might be due in three days, one week, or before the next scheduled lesson. If a student does not submit by the deadline, the prescription shows as overdue in the coach's dashboard. There is no system-enforced penalty, but the visibility ensures that both coach and student know where things stand. Accountability comes from transparency, not punishment.
