# Recording Pitchside Feedback in Feedz the Right Way

> Learn how to record clear, natural voice observations in Feedz so the AI generates the most accurate and specific player reports every time.

Recording feedback in Feedz is as simple as tapping a button and speaking — no templates to fill out, no notes to type up afterwards. Whether you're standing on the touchline mid-session or debriefing immediately after the final whistle, your voice is all you need to capture meaningful, actionable observations for every Trainee.

## Starting a Recording

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Feedz app">
    **Launch Feedz** on your iOS or Android device. Make sure you're on the home screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the Trainee">
    Find and open the profile of the **Trainee** you want to record feedback for. This links your recording directly to their profile and report history.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap the Give feedback button">
    Tap on the **Give feedback** button to open the voice recording screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap the Record button">
    Tap the **Record** button (the microphone icon). Feedz will begin capturing your voice notes immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Speak your observations naturally">
    Talk through what you saw during the session. Describe specific moments, actions, and behaviours as they come to mind. Pause and resume as needed until you've captured your feedback. When you're done, tap **Stop**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate the report">
    Tap **Generate AI Feedback**. Feedz will process your recording and produce a structured, professional report within seconds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Speak the way you'd explain a session to a colleague over coffee — conversational and direct. You don't need to follow a script or use any particular structure. The AI is built to extract the key insights from natural speech, so the more freely you talk, the better the output.

## Tips for Great Recordings

The quality of your AI-generated report is directly tied to the detail you include in your voice note. Keep these principles in mind to get the most useful output every time.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Name the Trainee" icon="user">
    Mention the Trainee's name at least once early in your recording. This helps the AI personalise the report and ensures the feedback reads as specific rather than generic.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Reference specific moments" icon="clock">
    Describe what happened — "in the second half when defending the corner" is far more useful than "defensively". Concrete examples give the AI more to work with.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Cover strengths and development areas" icon="chart-line">
    Balance your observations. Mention what the Trainee did well alongside what they should focus on improving. A two-sided report is more motivating and actionable for the Trainee.
  </Card>

  <Card title="No formal structure needed" icon="check">
    Don't try to organise your thoughts into sections before you record. Feedz structures the report for you — your job is just to share honest, specific observations.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Voice Edits

After Feedz generates a report, you can request up to **3 voice edits per report** to refine the content before sharing it.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the generated report">
    Read through the report after it's generated. Identify anything you'd like to adjust — a point that needs more emphasis, a detail that was misrepresented, or something you'd like added.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap 'Edit with Voice'">
    Tap the **Edit with Voice** option on the report screen to record your revision instructions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Speak your changes">
    Describe what you want changed in plain language — for example, "Add a note about his first touch improving significantly this week" or "Change the tone of the development section to be more encouraging."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply and review">
    Feedz will update the report based on your instructions. Review the revised version and share when you're satisfied, or use another edit if needed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Each report allows a maximum of 3 voice edits. Plan your revisions so you use them where they matter most. Once you've Approved a report, it cannot be edited.
</Note>

## What Not to Include in Voice Notes

To protect Trainee welfare and comply with Feedz's acceptable use policy, keep the following out of your recordings.

<Warning>
  Do not include sensitive personal information beyond an Trainee's name in your voice notes. This includes details such as medical diagnoses, mental health observations, family circumstances, financial information, or anything else that falls outside the scope of sports coaching feedback. Recording such information may violate data protection laws and Feedz's acceptable use policy.
</Warning>

<Accordion title="Full list of content to avoid">
  * **Medical or health information** — injuries should be referenced only in the context of performance impact, not diagnosis or treatment details.
  * **Personal or family circumstances** — home life, relationships, or financial situations have no place in a coaching report.
  * **Sensitive identifying information** — beyond the Trainee's name, avoid including addresses, school names, or other information that could identify a minor to a third party.
  * **Discriminatory or inappropriate language** — feedback must be constructive and professional at all times.
  * **Speculation about character or personal attributes** — focus on observable behaviours and performance, not assumptions about attitude or personality.
</Accordion>

If you're unsure whether something is appropriate to include, leave it out and address it in a private conversation with the Trainee or their guardian instead.
