Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of videos should I upload?
A tournament video would be best, but videos from practice also work. We typically have time to review one 15-point bout or three 5-point bouts, so we leave plenty of time for discussion.
If I book multiple sessions, are they all during the same period or can I upload more videos in the future? How does it work?
When you book a 3-session package, we will schedule a time for the first session and send a link for you to upload the video(s) for that session. We generally recommend waiting at least a month between sessions so your fencer has time to work on our advice at practice and/or competition. When the next month (or whatever time frame you would like) approaches, we will reach back out to set a time for the next session and send a new link to upload video(s) for that session.
Can I record the session?
We do not permit session recordings, but are happy to pose for screenshots together at any point during the session.
How should I prepare for the session?
Please come prepared with questions! We also recommend that fencers bring a notebook to the session to record feedback and ideas. We will also send our own notes following the session.
