Skill Tree
The Skill Tree is a visual map of a sport's key technical skills, organized into an unlockable hierarchy that shows where you stand and what to develop next.
SwingVantage models each sport as a tree of skills — from foundational mechanics to advanced techniques — and tracks which ones you have demonstrated in your sessions. Completing a drill or passing a retest for a skill marks it as learned; sustained, consistent evidence of a skill marks it as mastered. The tree makes progress tangible beyond a single metric and helps you see the broader developmental picture rather than always focusing on the current fault in isolation.
Example
A golfer's Skill Tree shows 'Grip' and 'Stance' as mastered, 'Rotation' in progress, and 'Trajectory Control' locked until Rotation is confirmed.

- Player ProfileThe Player Profile is the persistent record of an athlete's sport, skill level, swing history, fault patterns, progress metrics, and linked sessions that SwingVantage uses to personalize every analysis and recommendation.
- Skill AcquisitionSkill acquisition is the process by which practice and feedback cause a movement pattern to become more automatic, consistent, and robust under pressure — the goal of all training.
- Progress TrackingProgress tracking is the longitudinal record of how your key metrics change over multiple sessions and retests, displayed as a timeline that shows improvement, plateaus, and regressions.
- RetestA retest is a short follow-up protocol attached to each recommendation — how many shots, which metrics, and what counts as success — that confirms whether a fix actually worked.
