After 15+ years of coaching and thousands of conversations with coaches, one thing became clear: coaches need answers fast.
Not next week when you can attend a course. Not after scrolling through endless forum posts. Right now, while you are planning tomorrow’s session or preparing for Saturday’s match.
That is why we built FootballGPT.
