@Carlos Adidas was already selling a similar ball when this project started. But I agree with you that I needed this a year ago... unfortunately, not anymore

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

@Jose and @Carlos, I sent you message about your refunds. As for adidas yes they had this product for a while but it does nothing. Is just an expensive toy. We are focusing on getting a good useful product and we are sorry is taking this long but we are getting closer. Please check your messages and let me know.

Once again, I would like my account refunded. Would appreciate a response please. ADIDAS is selling similar product.

Carlos M Betancourt

Review from Kickstarter

I would like a refund for my order, I wanted a product a year ago and never got it, now adidas is selling the same soccer balls, with the same technology, so there's no reason to wait for your product any longer, please contact me to get my refund

Hi Guys. Need an update as this was a birthday gift and it seems that i won't have it to give. Now i just need to know when or what is happening. Thanks

Adam Hiatt

Review from Kickstarter

I am also curious if there are any updates on this. The last update was 3 months ago. Is there any progress on this?

Robert Fitzgerald

Review from Kickstarter

Hi Melissa - Yes, it will be very social. We encourage everyone to get their friends/teamates to pre-order one now still a low price at www.insidecoach.com so they can start the competition right away, :). But if not there will be other insideCoach users that they can connect and compete.
We will keep you posted on how all will come together.

Melissa Jean

Review from Kickstarter

Will people be able to do social challenges/competition with people from online community/that they don't know personally? I am just thinking cause it is new, that for kids like my nephew he will love the challenging competitive part, but his friends might not have it for a while/until they see his and realize they want one! So I guess I was curious how that is going to work.

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

Jeff - yes the basic app will have demos on how to pass a ball or the proper techniques for kicking a ball. The measurement of your kicks, spins etc will show on your mobile device and keep your history.
The more advanced skills will be like how you can improve the basic skill such as dribbles, fakes, agility, power kicks etc.

Jeff

Review from Kickstarter

Does your initial offering give examples of how to kick/pass with spin/swerve and is this measured in the base app? Can you also give some examples of more advances skills that the initial offering will provide? Thanks

Review from Kickstarter

@Magnus we are waiting for some feedback from the crowd for a stretch goal. We are leaning toward the design of the ball for better control but we had requests for size 3 too.

@Markus,
Yes we will have iOS an Android. Eventually Windows.

Markus Schunter

Review from Kickstarter

Will this be also available as an iOS App? Great Idea hopefully this will become reality.

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

Someone have asked offline how insideCoach ball will help an adult beginner to learn to play soccer. Answer: The exercises are build from the very basic fundamentals of soccer so anyone can start from the basics and build up their skills.

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

@Magnus Stam - That feature probably won't be possible now but as we gather more data to analyze what is a good and poor touch we probably able to predict. This will be more in the future though. Good question.

Magnus Stam

Review from Kickstarter

Being a coach that is obsessed with quality of first touch, would it be possible in any way to evaluate the quality/performance of first touch. Obviously it would be imposible with sensosors in the ball only to evaluate decistion making, but how well the ball is stopped, how far it rolls etc would be feasible. Is this a feature to consider?

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

@Jamie - We want to provide something that can last long for sure. We are constantly looking into the exterior and interior of the ball to make it durable and well protected. Definitely it is something that we are not overlooking.

Nicolas San Juan

Review from Kickstarter

@Kevin - Thanks for the comment. We've develop the features based on coaches, parents, and players feedback. We are listening and welcome any other recommendations.

Jamie

Review from Kickstarter

Just pledged, really drawn to the concept here. My one concern, bit of an odd one, is durability of the ball itself? You probably can't really give anymore on this and I'm assuming the materials, as mentioned as as standard? I'd class myself as an older single user of your product and I'd mostly be usually it casually, e.g popping out the back for 30 minutes and playing against a brick wall. I've gone through a couple of balls quite quickly this way and I'm wondering for something with an extra valuable tech within, not to mention the premium this carries will ball durability be looked at in any more depth than your standard football? Again both the general wear and tear to the balls exterior as well as how well protected betting normal any tech would be against heavy usage?

Great idea - Coaches dream!!

Review from Kickstarter

This product looks awesome! I love playing soccer, but just started in my adult years. I'm hoping this will help me learn good technique!

@Bryan Bean - I know you can you just need to dig deeper! :)

Review from Kickstarter

Thank you for the comments Colin. We are excited to start with soccer and we appreciate your support!

Review from Kickstarter

Nick, to be honest, I'd love to hit the top-tier pledge and be a special partner, but I think I'd have to start my own kickstarter campaign for that to happen.

Colin Trethewey

Review from Kickstarter

cool idea - golf has a lot of tech gadgets to improve the swing... so it's good to see other sports using Tech to make players better.
