How to Share Your UNFORCE Report with Your Coach

1. After your match analyses, open the report in the UNFORCE app.
2. Tap Export PDF, then download the finished report.
3. Open your phone's share sheet.
4. Send the PDF file by WhatsApp, iMessage, email, AirDrop, or wherever you usually message your coach.
5. Your coach opens the file with no UNFORCE login.

That's it. No platform to install and no account to create on the coach's side. The PDF is a normal file: it does not expire, and UNFORCE cannot revoke a copy after the recipient downloads it. Share it as deliberately as any other personal document.

The default report has six sections:

1. Match summary, score, duration, shot count, errors.
2. Shot mix, forehand / backhand / serve / volley breakdown with strengths and weaknesses called out.
3. Court heatmap, where you played from, where you bounced the ball, where rallies ended.
4. Stroke-quality scoring, per stroke type, with the lowest-scoring component highlighted.
5. Per-shot timeline, every shot with the timestamp needed to locate the moment in your footage.
6. Top three things to work on, the AI's auto-summary; honestly, this section is the one most coaches read first.

For most fortnightly check-ins, shipping the whole report is fine. For first-time sharing with a new coach, clip it down to sections 4 and 6: stroke-quality scores plus the "top three things." That's the smallest signal that gives the coach something useful to react to without forcing them to absorb the whole context.

Resist the urge. Coaches don't have time to scrub through a 30-minute video; that's the whole reason async coaching has been broken for years. The report is the abstraction layer: it tells the coach what to look at and gives them a timestamp. If they want the footage behind one moment, send that specific clip separately.

This is also the difference between "asynchronous coaching" working and not working. The Talk Tennis thread above and the adjacent r/10s threads are full of complaints about coaches "ignoring" videos. They're not ignoring them, they're triaging. A 30-minute raw video gets deprioritised behind anything else on their plate. A scannable report gets read.

A short message with three things gets the highest reply rate from coaches we've talked to:

"Match from Saturday, dropped 6-3 6-4. Forehand quality was down vs last fortnight. Specifically curious about my contact point on the deep balls. Report attached. No rush, before our Tuesday lesson is fine."

Three things in there, in order:

1. Context. When was the session, what was the result, what was the shape of it.
2. One specific question. Pick one. Not three. Coaches reply at much higher rates to specific questions than to "what should I work on?"
3. A deadline that isn't urgent. "Before Tuesday" is fine. "Right now" gets ignored.

The coach replies with a short voice-note or three lines of text, and you bring that to the next lesson. That's the whole loop.

If your coach sees enough UNFORCE reports across their students, they're probably better off with the Team plan. Team gives the coach a private roster and per-student workspace. For an occasional review, sending the downloaded PDF is faster and lighter.

For coaches at clubs and academies, Team makes more sense, it scales to 10 players per coach seat, students upload their own sessions, and the coach reviews from one inbox-style view.

When you send a downloaded PDF:

• It is a normal file, so the recipient can save or forward it. UNFORCE cannot revoke their copy later.
• The file contains the report, not account access or an automatically shared raw video.
• Hosted video, clips, analysis and the session record remain on UNFORCE's 30-day rolling retention window.
• A private in-app coach connection is different: both accounts must accept it, and either side can revoke it.
• Hosted UNFORCE data remains in europe-west1 (EU); your chosen email or messaging provider controls the copy you send through it.

Two failure modes worth naming:

Sharing every single session. Diminishing returns. Coaches have feedback fatigue too. Pick the matches that matter (a tournament, a session where something felt off, a milestone), and share those. Three reports a year that get a thoughtful reply beats fifty that get a thumbs-up emoji.

Sharing without context. A bare attachment with no message gets ignored. Always pair the report with the three-thing template above.

If your current setup is "film matches on a phone, message the raw video to the coach, hope they reply", you're going to feel the difference immediately. The original Talk Tennis thread linked above has a long-running complaint that the coach review loop is broken because the artifact is wrong, not because coaches don't care. A 30-minute video is the wrong artifact. A 5-section report with a per-shot drill-in is the right one.

If your current setup is "film matches and watch them yourself", you're already 80% of the way there. Shipping it to the coach is the last 20%, and it's roughly two taps. Worth doing.
