Sportsbox AI, an AI-powered technology company that brings 3D AI Coaching to mobile applications, is pleased to announce that world-renowned golf instructor Sean Foley has invested. Foley joins other Golf Magazine Top 100 coaches, including Mike Adams and Terry Rowles, as advisors to Sportsbox Golf's Product Advisory Group.
"We are thrilled to have Sean as an investor and an advisor," said Jeehae Lee, Co-Founder and CEO. "As a leader in the golf world and one of the greatest coaches in the game, Sean has seen the entire spectrum of golf improvement tools and coaching technologies.
"It means the world to us that he wanted to not only support but invest in our product and team. His vision for golf instruction and learning using 3D data and visualization tools aligns so well with ours and we will build a better product for coaches and students with his guidance"
Foley has coached the likes of 2013 U.S. Open Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Justin Rose, 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett, three-time PGA Tour champion Cameron Champ -- who captured last week's 3M Championship -- and worked with Tiger Woods from 2010 to 2014. He has been voted as the top golf teacher in the world by players on the PGA Tour.
Foley also teaches former Women's World No. 1 and current No. 10 player Lydia Ko.
"I've seen it all when it comes to coaching tools and 'AI Golf' applications," said Foley. "Sportsbox’s technology is years ahead of anything I've seen. With advanced 3D technology we will be able to transform a single video into a 3D avatar, capturing over ten thousand data points for every swing, all with just a mobile phone. The platform will revolutionize coaching in golf and other sports.
"In familiarizing myself with the technology, the management team at Sportsbox and the vast experience they bring, I knew immediately that taking part in its growth was an incredible opportunity.”
With Sportsbox Golf, coaches and golfers have the ability to take a single 2D video from a mobile phone -- with no markers and sensors -- and turn it into a full 3D avatar that can be viewed from six different angles, as well as provide 3D biomechanical measurements in inches, degrees, linear and angular velocities. The app enables golfers to:
- 3D Motion Capture: Use of a mobile phone camera to create a detailed 3D model of an athletic motion from a single 2D video -- without any markers using over 30 key points
- Highly Accurate 3D Kinematic Measurements: Kinematic parameters and sequences relevant to measuring and analyzing the body movement in sports - in full 3D
- Seamless Coaching Live and Remote: 3D data and visualization tools whether you’re with the student or remote; communication, CRM, and payment tools, as well as video editing tools for visually impactful lesson notes integrated for an all-in-one coaching platform
- Drills and Guided Personalized Practice Plan to Improve Your Outcome Goal(s): Guided practice and training roadmap tailored to your needs and goals
Drills and Guided Personalized Practice Plan to Improve Your Outcome Goal(s): Guided practice and training roadmap tailored to your needs and goals
Sportsbox plans to work with a broad spectrum of elite instructors who believe in the power of 3D measurements -- agnostic to swing methodology. The AI Coach will be built using the data collected on what creates optimal outcomes for different golfers based on their skill level and biomechanics.
