The First Comprehensive Coaching Platform for the Era of Connected Coaching
Wayne, PA: Golf Genius, the golf industry’s leading provider of cloud solutions for golfers, golf professionals, facilities, academies, tours and associations, today announced the launch of CoachNow Academy, a comprehensive coaching platform that enables golf coaches to build lasting, profitable relationships that support continuous improvement and help athletes stay motivated and focused on their goals.
CoachNow Academy enables coaches and organizations to run their businesses with all the tools they need in one integrated system. This new platform combines CoachNow, the App Store’s highest rated video capture, analysis and collaboration system, with team-based scheduling for individuals, group and clinics, facility calendars, roster management, registration, billing and third-party integrations. The CoachNow Academy platform incorporates advanced communication and collaboration tools, connecting coaches with athletes to deepen engagement and support their development. CoachNow Academy also captures data and technology across all aspects of the coaching experience, and both coaches and athletes can make use of all relevant data sourced from the lesson tee, on-course performance, the practice range and fitness programs.
According to Spencer Dennis, founder of CoachNow: “Our goal from day one has been to bring everyone and everything together into a single platform for skills development. Most coaches today are still battling a disconnected array of media and data, communications, progress tracking, business management tools, and AI. “Connected Coaching” is a phrase we coined years ago, and the launch of CoachNow Academy is a major step in realizing our vision of connecting coaches to who and what matters most — no matter their location.”
Mike Zisman, founder and Chairman of Golf Genius, added: “We acquired CoachNow out of respect for their preeminent market position, great products and the fact that we have a shared vision for the future of coaching. Together, we have developed the most advanced coaching solution available today and are investing aggressively in platform development to serve coaches and coaching facilities with the industry’s best technology and support services.”
CoachNow Academy is an open platform engineered to integrate with application partners in the coaching space. Integration partners to date include launch monitor Rapsodo; Golfshot and SwingU for on-course stats; video and analytics suppliers SportsBox and Swing Catalyst; and scheduling partners Clubessential, Whoosh, Pro Agenda, and ForeTees. CoachNow Academy also integrates with the handicap system in the U.S. and 20 other countries. The CoachNow team will continue to work across the industry to integrate the information coaches and students need to achieve their goals.
