Mine 20 Press Conferences for the Opposition Coach's Real Tactical Themes
Press conferences look like noise. They're not. A head coach, talking 30 times a season, will repeat the same 5 tactical themes regardless of opponent. Identifying those themes used to mean reading every transcript. A Claude Project does the pattern-matching for you — and it'll surface the themes their own coaching staff probably don't realise are obvious. Tier: Free Claude (under the 5-project cap).
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).
The Opposition Brief in 3 Prompts
An opposition brief is three documents pretending to be one: the threat map, the defensive plan, the team-talk version. Most analysts write all three from scratch every week. These three prompts, run inside a Claude Project with your scout report uploaded, get you 80% of the way there in under 10 minutes. Tier: Free.
Use NotebookLM to Run a Match Debrief in 10 Minutes
You filmed the match, tagged the clips, and wrote up your notes. But the debrief still takes 45 minutes to prep because you're stitching it all together manually. NotebookLM turns your raw match notes into a structured debrief document you can hand to the head coach before Monday morning.
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.
Research Your Next Opponent in 5 Minutes with Perplexity
Opposition research used to mean hours of video and manual scouting reports. Perplexity doesn't replace your video analysis — but it gives you a head start. In 5 minutes you'll have their recent results, tactical tendencies reported in the press, and key personnel changes. It's the briefing note before you sit down with the footage.
