Smart clinics: AI Coaches workshop
free registration - July 22, 2026 6-9pm et
Artificial intelligence is changing football, but not in the way most coaches think.
The biggest opportunity isn't writing practice plans or generating scouting reports. It's building coaching systems that help players learn faster, reinforce your teaching, and make your knowledge available long after the meeting ends.
Join us for a free one-day online workshop featuring football coaches and educators who are already using AI to improve coaching, communication, leadership, and player development.
Whether you're just getting started or already experimenting with AI, you'll leave with practical strategies you can immediately apply to your own program.

Get a quick look at the coaches and teaching you'll find inside the clinic.

AI in Football: From Notes to Systems
This clinic is built around real football workflows, not theory. You’ll see live before-and-after transformations of coaching tasks using AI, followed by real-time demonstrations showing exactly how they’re built.
We’ll cover practice planning, drill cards, player evaluations, opponent scouting reports, meeting presentations, and other workflows coaches can start using immediately.

Leading from Zone 1: Develop Skills That Get You Hired and Keep You Winning
Coaches invest in schemes and new technologies. But coaching is still a people business and the best investment you can make is in yourself. Lead better. Build stronger staffs, aligned teams, and disciplined players. Win more. That's the goal.
In this session you'll see how Zone 1, an AI-backed executive coaching system, accelerates the skills of leadership that get coaches hired, get people aligned, and win games. Zone 1 learns your coaching realities then coaches you real-time, developing the skills that make or break your career.
You'll see how the Zone 1 Coach Advisor, Journal, Meetings, and Content Builder help you solve your hardest challenges and capture your biggest opportunities.
Knowing ball can get you hired but behavior skills get you fired or promoted.
Zone 1 is for any coach who is serious about getting and staying off The Mountain of Average. Bring a real situation from your program. We'll work it live.

AI in Teaching: Building Better Learning Systems for Coaches and Players
AI can do much more than write practice plans or answer questions—it can become an extension of your teaching.
In this hands-on session, you'll learn how to build custom AI assistants that reinforce your coaching philosophy, terminology, installation, and player development. Using real examples from Coach and Coordinator Network's custom GPTs and AI-powered playbooks, we'll walk through the complete process of turning your own knowledge into an interactive teaching system.
You'll see how to organize coaching materials, structure instructions, upload resources, and create AI tools that help players learn concepts, review installs, answer questions, and reinforce what happens in the meeting room. Along the way, we'll share practical prompts, workflows, and best practices that you can immediately apply to your own program.
Every attendee will receive a downloadable implementation guide with prompts, templates, and step-by-step instructions so you can build your own coaching AI after the session.
