The continuing story
We previously highlighted ' Self Training ' in our report on ' Virtual Coaching' ( see below ) which obviously had a big boost from the lockdowns associated with the Pandemic.
Irrespective of how the Pandemic, with new variants will affect us all in 2022 , there is little doubt ' Self Training ' or ' Virtual Coaching will be a growth area.
The major apps in this market are :

WITH SPECIFIC TALENT ID FUNCTIONS :
Joined recently by Balln promoted by Kevin De Bruyne
Balln’s target customers are youth players ages 8-17. A user’s smartphone is affixed to a tripod or held by another person while players complete drills indoors or outdoors. Through a smartphone camera, the app’s computer vision tracks player and ball movement to provide feedback on a user’s shooting, pace, dribbling, agility, first touch, passing, reaction speed and ball control abilities.
The app’s Player Card feature rates a user’s skill level based on past studies of hundreds of thousands of youth soccer players. Users can also watch more than 350 training videos on Balln, which adds augmented reality graphics for on-screen display while recording a player’s training session.
My Personal Football Coach - another Self Training tool - has a new online course available for Strikers. See here
