You uploaded your video. The analysis is back. You have a phase score, a root cause, three drills, and Coach Arjun's note. Now what?
Start here
Read Coach Arjun's note first — before you look at any number or flag. It tells you the single most important thing to fix. Everything else is context for that note.
Step 1 — Read Coach Arjun's note first
Before you look at any score or flag, read Coach Arjun's note at the top of your analysis. This is the one-paragraph summary of everything important — the one thing to fix first, in plain language. If you only have 30 seconds, read the note and look at which phase is marked as the root cause. That is your entire work programme for the next two sessions.
Step 2 — Understand your phase scores
- 80–100: Strong. Don't drill this phase — reinforce it. Tell your coach so they know not to change anything here.
- 60–79: Borderline. May be downstream of a lower-scoring phase. Don't drill directly until the root cause is fixed.
- 40–59: Significant issues. Check if this is the root cause or a downstream consequence.
- 0–39: Root cause is here, or heavily flagged. This is where your coaching energy goes.
Step 3 — Know which flags to drill and which to leave
- Red flags in the root cause phase: Immediate priority. Do the drills prescribed for these.
- Red flags marked DOWNSTREAM: Do not drill directly. They will improve when the root cause is fixed.
- Green flags: Protect these. Tell your coach: "Coach Arjun says my front-knee landing is good — let's not change anything there."
"The downstream flags are not lying to you — but they are not the truth either. They are consequences. Fix the root first. Drilling a downstream flag before the root cause is fixed is like treating the cough instead of the infection. — Arjun Sir"
Step 4 — Run drill 1 for 5 minutes at your next practice
Before any live bowling or batting — when your focus is highest. Film the drill. Watch it back immediately. Tell your coach exactly what the drill is and the flag it's fixing. Ask them to build the next 15 minutes of the net session around it.
Step 5 — Re-upload after two focused sessions
Not two casual sessions — two sessions where you specifically ran drill 1 for 5 minutes and applied the coaching cue throughout. When you re-upload, Coach Arjun compares your new analysis to your previous one, tells you which flags moved, and adjusts his focus.
