What gets in the way

Most coaches want to give more feedback. These are the reasons it doesn't happen.

The barrierLack of time
With GoFathom
Internal notes are the quickest form of note-taking: a line of text, a tap on a pre-defined option, or a voice note.
The barrierLack of confidence to write what you say
With GoFathom
Just say it. Voice notes are transcribed into text automatically.
The barrierWriting competency
With GoFathom
Jot it down roughly. AI turns your text notes into clear, well-written feedback in one click.
The barrierWhat comes back from parents
With GoFathom
Turn off parent comments on any post if you want to. And any replies stay on the GoFathom platform, not in WhatsApp groups or your personal email.

Voice notes & video

The moment I really saw GoFathom make a difference was the first time I used its voice notes to capture a wrap-up after a 1-2-1. Recording the player and me going over the session they'd just had was revolutionary.”
