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.
A retrieval tool, not a notes tool. The distinction matters.
This upgrades the Retrieval layer. The opposition information already exists — your scout report, the press coverage, your own video notes. The bottleneck is converting that raw material into three different artefacts for three different audiences (yourself, the coaches, the players). These prompts handle the conversion.
It removes the 'rewriting the same thing for different audiences' load. You stop being the translation layer between the scout report and the team meeting.
Tuesday or Wednesday of match week. Run the prompts in order — each one builds on the previous output. The whole sequence takes 10 minutes if your scout report is already written.
Three steps. Twelve minutes total.
- Step 01
InstallOpen Claude (free tier works) and create a new chat inside your Season Project — or just a normal chat with no project. Drag in your scout report (PDF or pasted text) and any video notes you have on the opponent. - Step 02
Use onceRun prompt 1 (threat map). Read it, refine if needed. Run prompt 2 (defensive plan) in the same conversation — it will use the threat map as context. Then run prompt 3 (team-talk version) for the player-facing one. - Step 03
StoreCopy each output into your existing brief template. The threat map goes to the analyst sheet, the defensive plan goes to the coaches' meeting agenda, the team-talk version goes into the squad-facing slide deck.

Here's my scout report on [OPPONENT] for our match on [DATE]: [PASTE OR ATTACH SCOUT REPORT] Build me a threat map. Structure it as: 1. The three biggest threats they pose, ranked. For each: what the threat is, who delivers it (player and position), and how often it shows up (every match, in transition, only at home, etc.). 2. The two situations where they're most vulnerable. Be specific — 'they concede on the counter from turnovers in their own half', not 'they're weak defensively'. 3. One thing the scout report doesn't tell us that I should ask about before the match. Keep it under 400 words. Treat this as a working analyst document, not a polished report.
