Lessons that carry their own reference clips

Practice is easier when the target is right there. Lessons ship with reference clips students practice against and submit takes for.

"Practice the turn" is not a lesson. It is a hope. Students need to see the target at speed, slow it down, and compare their own take against it — ideally without leaving the app where they submit for feedback.

A lesson in ReviewCoach carries its own reference clips. The coach publishes the move done right; the student practices against it and submits a take for approval. When it lands, the thread closes with an "approved for Lesson 4" — a small, real milestone instead of a vague sense of progress.

The reference stays put; a student's attempt is submitted against it and, when it lands, approved right there in the thread.

The clip is the stage

Everything orbits the footage. Reference, attempt, correction, re-take — all of it is video pinned to moments, not prose about video. That is the one design principle we refuse to compromise on, and it is why the reference lives inside the lesson rather than in a folder somewhere.

Give the footage somewhere to go, and students keep filming. That is the entire flywheel.
