The Physio Handoff Project — RTP Knowledge That Survives a Locum
Return-to-play decisions live in the head of one physio. When that physio is on holiday, off-shift, or moving on, the context goes with them — and the next person treating the player is starting from scratch. A Claude Project for medical handover keeps the case-history, the protocols, and the 'this is how we manage X here' decisions queryable by whoever needs them next. Tier: Claude Pro recommended (RAG quality matters when the corpus is large).
A Claude Project Per Player — The Development File That Actually Gets Used
Every club says it does player development plans. Most do them at pre-season, file them, and never look at them again. The reason isn't lack of will — it's that the format doesn't survive the season. A Claude Project per player turns the development file into something you can actually query: 'What were the three things we agreed on with [player] in pre-season? Are we on track?' Tier: Claude Pro (Free is capped at 5 projects total).
The Fireflies + Claude Meeting Brain (MCP Setup)
Coaches' meetings, staff briefings, player 1:1s — the volume of conversation in a coaching environment is enormous, and almost none of it gets re-listened to. Fireflies records and transcribes them. Claude, connected to Fireflies via MCP, lets you query everything in plain English: 'What did we say about [player] in the last three meetings?' Tier: Claude Pro ($20/mo) + Fireflies Free or Pro.
Turn the Walk to the Car Park into a Searchable Coaching Log
The five-minute walk from pitch to car park is the most under-used coaching moment of your week. Your head is full of observations from the session — what worked, who looked off, the thing you forgot to coach. Most of those thoughts are gone by the time you get home. The Fireflies mobile app turns that walk into a transcribed, tagged, searchable log entry. Tier: Free Fireflies plan (800 minutes lifetime).
Turn Voice Notes into a Searchable Coaching Log
You have observations after every session. Good ones — the kind that would change how you coach next week if you could remember them. But they live in your head, or in a voice memo you'll never re-listen to. This workflow turns a 60-second voice note into a tagged, searchable coaching log entry.
