How Feedback Works at Eddiesmethod

Good programming matters. But without quality feedback, most athletes eventually stop progressing.

Here, the goal is to create a coaching process where athletes clearly understand:

  • what is improving

  • what needs work

  • and how to keep progressing long term.

Athletes are expected to regularly film their training sessions and upload the videos to app. This is one of the most important parts of online coaching because videos allow me to evaluate what actually happened during training, not just what the numbers say. Loads, times, and percentages only tell part of the story.

Movement quality, pacing, positioning, efficiency, decision making, and consistency often tell a much bigger. Every week, I review the athlete’s training footage and take notes on the most significant details:

  • technical faults

  • movement inefficiencies

  • pacing mistakes

  • consistency issues

  • or positive improvements that should continue to be reinforced.

Instead of overwhelming athletes with corrections on every small detail, the goal is to identify the changes that will create the biggest impact on performance.

After reviewing the week, I record a Loom video for the athlete. In these videos, I explain:

  • what went well

  • what improved

  • what needs attention

  • and what the athlete should focus on moving forward.

This creates much clearer communication than simple text messages and allows athletes to better understand the reasoning behind the coaching process.

Then, once per month, we schedule an individual call to review the training block in more detail.

These calls are used to discuss:

  • overall progress

  • recovery

  • goals

  • mindset

  • competition planning

  • adjustments to training

  • or any issue that may feel “stuck.”

Sometimes athletes do not need more motivation or more volume.

They simply need clarity.

The goal of feedback is not to create dependency on a coach.

The goal is to develop athletes who:

  • understand their training

  • move better

  • think better

  • and become more aware of what high-level performance actually requires.
