Every player who shows up deserves a coach who knows them. Meet Charly. Charly is a tennis coach you can text. Ask about your forehand late at night, your warm-up before a league match, or what to eat before a three-setter, in the app or right from Messages. Charly answers with your game in mind: your level, your goals, your last match and how you slept last night. A COACH WHO CHECKS IN Charly checks in after you play, asks how it went, and helps turn every session into a step toward your goal. A short note in the morning when your recovery is up. A reminder when it's time for the drill you planned. NEVER EXPLAIN YOURSELF TWICE Charly remembers what matters, like the shoulder that tightens on serves, the strings you like and the warm-up that works for you, and builds on it every time you talk. LET YOUR WATCH DO THE LOGGING FlowState connects to Apple Health, so practices and matches from your Apple Watch, and from devices that sync to Apple Health like Oura, Garmin and WHOOP, log themselves with duration, heart rate and calories. Sleep, HRV and resting heart rate arrive each morning. Anything you enter yourself always comes first. SEE YOUR SERVE COME TOGETHER Attach clips to your sessions and compare day one with today, side by side. Send a clip to Charly for feedback on your technique. SEE HOW YOUR BODY RECOVERS Sleep, HRV and recovery trends over 7, 30 and 90 days, measured against your own baseline. Ask Charly whether to go hard or keep it easy today. FUEL YOUR GAME WITH ONE PHOTO Snap a meal and FlowState estimates calories and macros. Set a daily target with Charly and see what's left. SEND A REPORT TO YOUR COACH Share a clear report of your training, matches and recovery with your coach, your team or your parents.
