About KickWorx
Coaches teach a lot in a practice, and there isn’t time to perfect every player’s kick. So players practice on their own, and nobody sees whether they’re doing it right. KickWorx is built to be that second pair of eyes: film one kick, and see what to keep and the one thing to fix.
KickWorx was created by Conner Watkins, a former D1 soccer player from Utah.
I grew up playing keeper, so I spent hours practicing long balls and side volleys. I kept trying new things to kick the ball farther, but I never knew if my technique was actually good, and my kicks weren’t consistent. It took me years of trial and error to learn the side volley.
Now I coach, and I see the same problem from the other side. When I teach technique, I can only watch one part of a player’s kick at a time, so I can’t break down every kick for every player. That’s why I built KickWorx: so the next generate of players can learn on their own!
“There is no perfect technique, it is unique to every player. However, the fundamentals of what makes a good strike are the same. We perfect those to make your technique produce better and more consistent results.”
How it’s built
-
01
Scored on Conner’s lines
What makes a kick a 10 is set by Conner, kick by kick, from his own filmed kicks. The app measures the ball and the body, then scores against those lines.
-
02
Our own demo kicks
Every reference kick in the app is Conner’s own. No pro footage, names or faces.
-
03
Critique the kick, never the kid
Feedback is simple and encouraging, in words a 10-year-old understands.
-
04
Never a guess
If the video is too blurry, too far away or the wrong angle, the app asks you to film again instead of making something up.
-
05
Safe for kids
Parents set up the account, videos are deleted after the analysis, and there’s no messaging and no sharing.
“Practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes it permanent.”
