Using Slocoach, all students need to do is upload a video clip of themselves performing any skill, and they’ll receive unique feedback from the best athletes in the business.
Kayo delivers sports fans unrivalled coverage with 50 plus Australian and international sports live and on demand along with a world-leading user experience.
With Slocoach establishing itself as the market leader in their field, the partnership will deliver Kayo customers additional content and a unique coaching experience by providing them with select, personalised content from the Slocoach platform.
Slocoach Co-Founder Luke Jecks says of the partnership: “We at SLOCOACH are thrilled to be partnering with Kayo in 2021. Australian fans have long enjoyed watching their favourite icons, but for the first time they’ll be able to take it to the next level by accessing the SLOCOACH platform to get involved with their favourite sport.
“Slocoach uses cutting-edge tech and interactive analysis tools to equip coaches across 20 different sports with everything they need to closely analyse a student’s performance, providing them with the next best thing to live-viewing,” said Luke Jecks.
The Slocoach platform is available and open to fans of all ages and abilities – from complete beginners to professionals, so all Kayo Sports subscribers can experience the magic of Slocoach.

“Kayo is the unrivalled home to 50 plus sports live and on demand with a world-leading user experience and we are always looking for ways to provide our customers with even more of the content they love.”
The partnership marks an exciting start to the year for Slocoach after a successful launch into Australia in 2020. The start-up is looking to take the platform to new heights this year and is currently eyeing up several other exciting partnerships, including a launch into the US market, and its Arts/Entertainment platform.
