Glossary
- 4thCoach+
- The paid plan: more analyses per day, the full pattern history, trends, and wins.
- Analysis
- What happens after you upload: 4thCoach watches the clip, identifies the sport and skill, and produces findings — usually in 30 to 90 seconds.
- Casting / early arm extension
- The throwing arm extends away from the body too early in the arm swing.
- Clip
- The full video you record or upload. 4thCoach analyzes the clip and pulls out moments.
- Early hip rotation
- The hips begin rotating toward the plate before the front foot lands.
- Finding
- One specific, coachable observation from a moment — what's happening, why it matters, and a cue or drill to work on it.
- Glove side flying open
- The glove-side arm pulls off target early during the delivery.
- Head drift & balance
- The head moves off the line to the plate during the delivery.
- Moment
- A short looping piece of your video that 4thCoach found worth your attention — the swing, the pitch, the kick. Every finding points at a moment.
- Pattern
- A finding that keeps showing up across multiple clips of the same player. 4thCoach tracks whether a pattern is still being watched, confirmed, fixed, or has come back.
- Player
- The athlete a clip belongs to. One account can hold several players.
- Short stride
- The stride toward the plate is shorter than the delivery needs.
