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).
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 Season Project — Claude as Your Tactical Second Brain
Every conversation you have with Claude starts from zero. You re-explain your squad, your principles, your fixture list, the kid you're trying to get into the starting XV. A Claude Project fixes that in 5 minutes. You upload your context once and every chat in that project remembers it. Tier: works on the Free plan (capped at 5 projects).
