Any interest in virtual position & technique help?

Hello shooters, coaches, and parents.

Is there any interest for affordable virtual or online coaching, such as sending pictures of a shooter's position and a short video of them taking a few shots, and getting a video back with detailed analysis, feedback, recommendations, and explanations for suggested changes? Would a service like that help anyone?


I'm Rachel Mangan, previously a precision air and .22 shooter with Clemson University's club team and sporter 3p with Walhalla High School. I've accomplished a lot in my time, getting in amazing matches with some outstanding people, and I'm looking to pay it forward as much as I can. Currently I work with a local high school team and coach Clemson's on the side, but I've been trying to think up ways to reach farther out schools that may not have nearby resources for advanced coaching.

In my brainstorming I thought it would be cool to start a youtube channel where shooters send me pictures and videos that I'll break down, looking at shot timing, position structure, trigger pull, followthrough, etc. If there's another strategy ya'll think would help or that you've been looking for, I'd love to hear it!
Helping and training is my favorite use of time, so if anyone wants to reach out to me, feel free.

A bit more about my experience, for any interested:
2 years as a CMP rifle camp counselor
3 years as a CMP rifle camper
NRA lvl 1 coach certification
AMU .22 clinic student (in the same group as Olympian Ginny Thrasher)
Individual training from Paul Davis, Steve Goff, JP Oconner, John Cummings, Sgt. Gray, Sommer Woods - all top notch names in the South-East.
Club Rifle National Champion in 2016 and 17
Once tied Olympian Lucas Kozeniesky with a 590 side-by-side at the Citadel (and beat him two years before in a final, but he was a great sport about it as always)
American Legion Nationals finalist
JO Nationals participant in the Olympic Training Center


Feel free to look at the shooting tab on my website as well, and contact me through there:

There's also a couple news articles linked on the home page of my site where I've been mentioned in the shooting world.
But the medals all end up in a box and my knowledge sits uselessly in my head, so I'd love to pass on what so many coaches have shared with me, and what I've learned over the years!
