Instant feedback for athletes on running form

How can we provide instant feedback to athletes on their running form?

As an athlete who has always attempted to perfect his sprinting form, I wanted to explore ways to provide instant feedback to athletes on their running form. I imagined a system that would allow an athlete recieve instant visual feedback of the movement they were performing while they were being coached on how to fine tune this movement. With the help of my father (carpenter of the century) we built a towable 6' x 4' mirror with an attached pedestal for a coach to provide instruction from. I put together a training program that over several weeks allowed over 100 participants to get weekly feedback using the mirror inteface. We also did crazy things with bungy cords.
