<p>If you're a stunt performer, whether you're just starting your training or already working professionally on set, one thing quietly makes or breaks your career over time: keeping good records and keep your work up-to-date.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">It's easy to overlook. You finish a training session or wrap a day on set, and you move straight on to the next thing. But months or years later, when a coordinator asks how many days you've worked, what disciplines you've trained in, or asks for an updated CV, having that information organised and ready can be the difference between landing the opportunity and scrambling to remember details you should have written down long ago.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Here's how to track each part of your stunt career properly, and a free tool that does it all for you.</p><h2 id="532568af-86d4-4da3-a38f-1b72ac4a64a1" data-toc-id="532568af-86d4-4da3-a38f-1b72ac4a64a1" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Tracking Your Stunt &amp; Other Sport Disciplines Training</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Every session counts, stunt-specific training and other disciplines like martial arts, gymnastics, circus, parkour, or water. Tracking this over time shows your progression, and it's often exactly what a coordinator or agent wants to see before they trust you with bigger work.&nbsp;</p><h2 id="ee32c460-8c85-4c80-946f-efb771d2eb0d" data-toc-id="ee32c460-8c85-4c80-946f-efb771d2eb0d" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Recording Your On-Set Work</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Every day worked, every stunt performed, and ideally, sign-off from the coordinator you worked with. This becomes your proof of experience, and for many performers, it's also needed for guild application, insurance, union requirements, or visa applications down the line.</p><h2 id="c107baec-6053-492b-b70e-aa911453c226" data-toc-id="c107baec-6053-492b-b70e-aa911453c226" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Building Your Stunt CV</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Your stunt CV is one of the most important tools in your career, it's what a coordinator or agent looks at before deciding to trust you with an opportunity. A strong stunt CV should include your measurements, certifications, affiliations, notable on-set experience, and links to your latest reel.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The problem most performers run into is rebuilding this from scratch every time it's needed, digging through old emails, texts, and memory to reconstruct a CV under time pressure. Keeping it updated as you go, rather than recreating it each time, means it's always ready the moment an opportunity comes up.</p><h2 id="92f4d920-26f2-432b-b1e5-a4b1e93cfd16" data-toc-id="92f4d920-26f2-432b-b1e5-a4b1e93cfd16" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Travel and Expenses</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">If you're travelling for training or work, keeping a simple record makes tax time, and reimbursement, far less painful.</p><h2 id="c05393c9-b136-4f72-ac66-f9541143b214" data-toc-id="c05393c9-b136-4f72-ac66-f9541143b214" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Contacts</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Coordinators, fellow performers, agents, you meet a lot of people in this industry. A single place to keep those details saves you from digging through old texts and emails months later.</p><h2 id="953ac6fe-d3ea-45bb-83f8-066af9310239" data-toc-id="953ac6fe-d3ea-45bb-83f8-066af9310239" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Why This Matters More Than It Seems</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">None of this is exciting work. But performers who keep good records are consistently the ones who look more professional, respond faster when opportunities come up, and have an easier time proving their experience when it counts, whether that's to a coordinator, an agency, or their own accountant.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">The performers who struggle here usually aren't lacking experience, they're lacking a system. Sticky notes, memory, and scattered screenshots only get you so far.</p><h2 id="2ef6035b-8e04-4837-8f60-c8d392bb1eba" data-toc-id="2ef6035b-8e04-4837-8f60-c8d392bb1eba" class="mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Introducing Stunt Tracker by NZSS</h2><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">That's exactly why we built <strong>Stunt Tracker by NZSS</strong>, a <strong>free web app</strong> for stunt performers worldwide, in training or working professionally, to track and manage all of this in one place.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">Inside, you can:</p><ul class="[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1"><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Log your training across stunt and other disciplines</p></li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Record your on-set work, with sign-off from stunt coordinator</p></li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Build and export your stunt CV</p></li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Track your travel and expenses</p></li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Save your industry contacts</p></li><li class="font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><p>Access NZSS stunt online services directly</p></li></ul><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal">It works on both phone and computer, and it's completely free, no catch, built as our way of giving back to the global stunt community.</p><p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal" style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://stunttrackerbynzss.vercel.app/signup"><strong>Start Recording on the Stunt Tracker by NZSS</strong></a></p>
