What the AI Combine is

The AI Combine turns your phone into a testing combine. You pick a challenge, prop your phone up, and the camera tracks 33 points on your body while you move. No stopwatch, no measuring tape, no driving across town.

  • The coach talks to you. A voice tells you when to start, what to fix, and when you crushed it.
  • You get real numbers. Jump height, wingspan, hold times, rep counts, reaction speed, and more.
  • Your results are verified. Numbers that pass the quality checks get the NILify Verified badge, so coaches can trust them.

Everything is on the Combine page. Challenges come first, because that is where the fun is. Your full test list and your results live one tap away.

Pick a challenge and set it up

Open a challenge and take ten seconds to set it up. It makes your numbers way better.

  • Do the setup check. The app checks your phone is straight, the light is good, the camera is steady, and your whole body fits in the frame. Fix anything with a yellow or red dot before you start.
  • Pick your countdown. In Combine Settings (the gear icon) you choose 3, 5, or 10 seconds before the challenge starts. You can also turn the coach voice down or off, and turn sound effects on or off.
  • Stand in the same spot. The app remembers where you stood last time for each challenge, so you can match it and compare fairly.

Some challenges, like the sprints, need a stopwatch or a friend with a timer. Those are marked clearly in the test list.

Run a challenge

Tap Start and the countdown you picked begins. When you hear "Go", go.

  • Live numbers on the screen. While you move, you see your angles, your hold time, or your rep count right on top of the camera.
  • The coach helps you. Short tips come out loud when something is off, like "Bend your knees more" or "Keep your body straight". Tips never repeat right away, so it never gets annoying.
  • You can stop any time. A red Stop button stays on the screen for the whole challenge. Tap it and nothing gets saved. No pressure, just try again.
  • Finish strong. When you hit your goal you get a celebration, and your result is graded Solid, OK, or Retake.

Stance challenges

The stance challenges are the heart of the Combine for football players. There are two: 2-Point Stance and 3-Point Stance. Each one is its own challenge with its own records.

  • Copy the example. Before you start, you see a picture of the correct stance from real coach-taught examples. Match it.
  • Pick how you want to play. "Beat a goal" sets a time to reach, like 30 seconds or 2 minutes. "Hold as long as you can" has no goal, the timer just counts up and records your best.
  • Watch your four numbers. Hip angle, knee angle, back angle, and balance. Each one shows Ideal, Close, or Fix. When all four look good you get a Good Stance check.
  • The timer starts when you're set. It waits until you're actually in the stance, so you never lose time getting into position.

If you break your stance before the goal, the timer stops and you can restart right away. Set a small goal first, then raise it as you get stronger.

Get accurate numbers

Numbers only help you if coaches can trust them. Here is how to keep yours clean.

  • Pass the setup check every time. Same spot, same distance, good light, phone straight.
  • Do the tries the app asks for. Some challenges take your best of 3 tries and throw out any try that looks like a glitch, so one weird jump does not ruin your number.
  • Respect the grade. Every result is graded Solid, OK, or Retake. A Retake result saves as practice only and never counts for leaderboards.
  • Sprints use a stopwatch. The 40-yard and 10-yard runs need a real timer, so you type the number in yourself. That keeps the board honest.

There is a full "How to get accurate numbers" page on the Combine screen with more tips.

Compete with friends

Beating your own record is great. Beating your friend is better.

  • Leaderboards rank you fairly. You are only compared with athletes in your age group and position, and only verified results count.
  • Challenge anyone. Every challenge tile has a Battle button. Pick a friend, set the length and a taunt, and they get an invite. Their result decides the winner.
  • Climb the weekly leagues. You move up from Bronze to Elite based on how you do each week, and you can drop down if you slack off.
  • Earn XP and badges. Every challenge earns points toward your level, and milestones unlock badges.

For athletes under 18, leaderboards and battles only work with parent approval, and names are masked on public boards.

Share your results

A great number is only useful if people see it.

  • Share cards. Every result turns into a clean card with your number and the NILify Verified badge. Send it to any app with the share button.
  • Post to your public profile. Your verified Combine numbers show up on your NILify page, right where coaches look. That is your recruiting link-in-bio, so coaches see your numbers next to your film and info.
  • My Results keeps your history. Every attempt is saved, so you can watch your vertical, your stance times, and your reps climb week after week.

When you are ready to reach out, head to the recruiting tools to build your coach list and send your first email with your verified numbers attached.
