The AI coaching assistant is your on-demand planning partner. It can generate drills with visual diagrams, build complete session plans, suggest progressions, and answer sport-specific coaching questions -- all from a single chat interface.
Where to find it
The assistant lives in a sliding panel on the right side of the app. Open it by clicking the AI Coach button in the sidebar or the floating button in the bottom-right corner. The panel stays open while you navigate, so you can chat and work at the same time.
It knows your context
The assistant is context-aware. It automatically picks up:
- Your sport -- drills and terminology match the sport on your profile.
- Your activities and sessions -- it can reference, modify, or build on work you've already created.
- Your athletes -- it can factor in group size, age, and skill level when generating plans.
- Your current page -- if you're viewing a session, it knows the structure and can suggest additions.
- Your upcoming fixtures -- the assistant can pull the next 14 days of game-day events when planning match-week sessions, so a Tuesday session comes back structured around your Saturday match.
You don't need to repeat background information in every message. The assistant already has it.
What it can do
- Generate drills -- describe what you need and get a ready-to-use activity with setup instructions, coaching points, and an optional canvas diagram.
- Create full sessions -- ask for a complete practice plan with timed phases and the assistant builds the whole thing.
- Suggest progressions -- give it a drill and ask how to make it easier or harder.
- Answer coaching questions -- ask about tactics, periodization, age-appropriate training, or anything else coaching-related.
- Draw diagrams -- the assistant can place players, cones, and movement arrows on your playing surface automatically.
- Suggest a match-day lineup -- on the Club plan, ask the assistant to pick your squad for a fixture. It proposes units, bench, and unavailable with per-slot reasoning, and you review it on an Accept / Swap / Reject card before anything is applied. See Match-Day Lineups.
Your first message
Open the panel and try something specific:
"Create a 10-minute warm-up drill for U14 soccer with 12 players on a half-field."
The more detail you give, the better the result. See Prompting Tips for more examples.
Conversations are saved
Every conversation is stored and searchable. Start a new conversation when you switch topics -- this keeps context focused and reduces credit usage.
Credits
Every AI interaction costs credits based on message complexity. Your plan includes a monthly allocation, and you can purchase additional credit packs if you need more. See Credits Explained for the full breakdown.
