WHY WE EXIST

Talent is everywhere.
Understanding is not.

Every athlete carries untapped potential. What most of them lack is not effort or talent — it is access: to measurement, to interpretation, to coaching that can explain why.

For decades, that access belonged to elite teams and laboratories. We believe the technology now exists to change that, and that someone has to do the unglamorous work of carrying it the last mile — into real lessons, real training plans, and real athlete progress.

That is the business we chose to build.

  • 01Elite-level understanding should not depend on where an athlete was born.
  • 02Data does not coach. Coaches coach — better, with data.
  • 03Technology only matters when it changes what an athlete does next.
  • 04The last mile of sports technology is human.

01WHO WE ARE

We don't just analyze athletes. We build the coaching systems around the data.

Luvlinks is a Japan-based sports business operator focused on modern athlete development.

We combine expert coaching with video analysis, biomechanics, performance technology, and individualized training programs.

Our goal is simple: turn complex performance data into clear actions athletes can actually use.

  1. VIDEO
  2. DATA
  3. COACH INTERPRETATION
  4. INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
  5. REASSESSMENT

02OUR BUSINESSES

Two sports. One philosophy.

Better performance begins with understanding why.

BASEBALL

MOONSHOT

Every powerful hit has a reason.

A data-driven online baseball academy built to help hitters develop harder contact, more extra-base power, and greater offensive value through motion analysis and individualized coaching.

  • Baseball
  • Online Coaching
  • Motion Analysis
  • Biomechanics
  • Hitting Development

GOLF

Data-Driven Golf Coaching

Two coaching brands. One evidence-based standard.

Our golf coaching programs combine expert instruction with 3D motion analysis and ball-flight data — from distance development built on physics to repeatable shot-making built on how the club actually works.

Our coaching workflow uses technologies such as Sportsbox 3D and TrackMan.

  • Golf
  • 3D Motion Analysis
  • Ball-Flight Data
  • Online Coaching
  • Individualized Drills

03OUR PHILOSOPHY

The human eye matters. Data makes it sharper.

We do not believe technology replaces coaches.

The best coaching happens when high-quality data helps an expert see more clearly, explain more precisely, and prescribe better training.

Technology measures.

Coaches interpret.

Athletes improve.

04HOW WE OPERATE

From a phone video to an actionable training plan.

01

CAPTURE

Athletes record their movement using a smartphone. No lab visit required.

02

ANALYZE

Video and performance data reveal patterns that are difficult to see consistently with the naked eye alone.

03

INTERPRET

Coaches identify the highest-priority factors affecting performance.

04

TRAIN

Athletes receive individualized drills designed for their age, environment, and goals.

05

REASSESS

New video and data are compared under the same conditions, so progress is measured rather than assumed.

05TECHNOLOGY IN PRACTICE

We use performance technology where it matters: inside the lesson.

Our experience is not limited to testing software.

We integrate performance technology into paid coaching workflows, athlete communication, training design, and progress evaluation.

3D MOTION ANALYSIS

3D Motion Analysis

Sportsbox 3D is used within our golf coaching workflow to help visualize and quantify movement patterns.

BALL-FLIGHT DATA

Ball-Flight Data

TrackMan data supports the connection between movement changes and actual ball-flight outcomes.

GROUND REACTION

Force & Pressure

Pressure-plate systems such as Swing Catalyst inform how athletes use the ground to produce speed.

VIDEO & BIOMECHANICS

Video & Biomechanics

MOONSHOT applies the same data-informed philosophy to hitting development, with a focus on turning analysis into practical training.

06THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE COACHING

07BUILT FOR JAPAN

Global technology needs local execution.

Great technology alone does not create adoption.

Japanese athletes, parents, and coaches need clear onboarding, trusted local guidance, sport-specific education, and responsive support.

Because we operate coaching businesses ourselves, we understand how to bring technology into the athlete's actual training experience — not just translate the interface.

We partner selectively with technologies we would genuinely use with our own athletes.

  • Athlete recruitment
  • Coach onboarding
  • Japanese training content
  • Filming instructions
  • Parent communication
  • Customer support
  • Digital acquisition
  • Product feedback
  • Pilot programs

TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIPS

Building something that can change athlete development?

If your technology can help coaches understand movement better and help athletes train smarter, we would be interested in exploring what it could look like in Japan.

We are not looking for products to resell. We are looking for technologies worth building the last mile for.
