1. What’s your elevator pitch?

TennisKeeper is on a mission to assist tennis gamers keep motivated and maximize their enjoyment of the game. We need to make each tennis day superb and memorable.

2. Drawback & Answer

I created TennisKeeper app as a result of I couldn’t discover any tennis app that might let me monitor my tennis actions such because the matches I performed or the teachings I took. There are lots of operating apps for runners (e.g. Runkeeper), exercise apps for the health fanatic (e.g. 7 Minute exercise), and weight loss plan apps (e.g. MyFitnessPal) for people who need to keep a nutritious diet, however there isn’t something for monitoring and monitoring tennis exercises and progress.

TennisKeeper permits you to monitor 5 sorts of tennis actions: singles matches, doubles matches, hitting practices, tennis classes, and cross coaching. In case you are enjoying a match, document your opponent’s info and the scores of every set. Analyze each set and log how you are feeling and the way you play. In case you are taking a lesson, document the methods, methods and insights discovered. Including your personal notes or footage to every exercise make each outing memorable.

As you turn into higher in tennis and begin to compete in leagues or ladder video games, you’ll hear individuals say that it is best to develop a recreation plan towards your opponents. However today’s strategy continues to be utilizing advert-hoc notes or paper.

TennisKeeper solves this by offering straightforward to make use of templates with the intention to shortly enter your opponents recreation fashion, power, weak spot and even their line calls tendency. You can do it proper after your match on the tennis courtroom when your reminiscence continues to be recent. Subsequent time you meet them on the courtroom once more, their tennis profile can be proper at your fingertips. In case you are enjoying on a tennis league, you possibly can share the participant’s profile you competed towards together with your staff in order that they know what to anticipate once they should play the identical individuals sooner or later.

After logging the occasions, you possibly can visualize your progress and see how you’re enhancing additional time. For instance, you possibly can choose any opponent and get your lifetime singles and doubles face to face match stats towards them. You can acquire weekly tennis match win, loss stats grouped by matches, units and video games. Or your energy burned based mostly on the tennis exercise (e.g. a singles match will burn extra energy than a doubles match).  These are just a few examples, with extra to return sooner or later as we combine with the well being package frameworks.

three. Market – your goal market and the general market

This app is for the tennis gamers. In response to the analysis by the Tennis Business Affiliation, in 2015, there are 17.ninety six million tennis gamers. Tennis is the one conventional participation sport to see a rise in general participation during the last eight years, growing 6% since 2007.

four. Enterprise Mannequin – how do you earn money?

Initially by promoting the free app with a professional version improve with superior metrics. Extra time I hope to realize traction with the tennis group and appeal to corporations that promote tennis merchandise to combine to my platform. For instance, we’ll monitor tennis strings and tennis footwear utilization, so gamers will know what number of hours they performed with their footwear and strings. They are often notified when it’s time to exchange them and be directed to the suitable gear shops.

5. Administration Group – with titles
