The AI Power Behind Your Child’s Virtual Coach
At SportWise, we’re proud to offer a unique approach to virtual coaching that leverages cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to help your child grow as an athlete. But what does that actually mean? Here’s a simple explanation of how our AI technology works behind the scenes—and why it’s different from anything else out there.
1. The Brain Behind the Coach: Large AI Models
At the heart of SportWise are advanced AI models known as Large Language Models (LLMs). These models are like incredibly smart computers that can understand language and respond to questions, much like a human coach would. The AI “brain” has been trained on vast amounts of sports knowledge, coaching techniques, fitness tips, and nutritional advice so it can provide valuable guidance in real time.
How it impacts your child:
The AI can break down complex ideas—like how to improve footwork or maintain endurance—into simple, actionable steps. It’s like having a professional coach available to answer questions any time your child is ready to train.
2. Our Secret Sauce: Custom Prompting
While many apps use basic AI, SportWise takes things a step further by using custom prompting. This means we’ve designed specific ways to interact with the AI, so it understands your child’s unique needs. Whether you’re asking about improving your child’s strength for basketball or their dribbling skills in soccer, the AI responds in a way that feels personal and relevant.
How it simplifies AI for everyone:
With SportWise, AI coaching is approachable for anyone—whether you’re familiar with technology or not. Just ask questions the same way you would with a human coach, and the AI will respond with personalized, clear, and helpful advice. No need to worry about how to phrase things or how the technology works behind the scenes. We’ve done the hard part, so you can focus on helping your child succeed.
3. Memory Beyond the Moment: Custom Databases
Unlike some AI models that forget what you talked about once the conversation ends, SportWise remembers. We’ve built our own custom databases that store important information outside of the AI’s regular memory (context window). This means SportWise can track your child’s progress over time, remember their previous sessions, and continue to build on their training goals.
How it shapes long-term development:
SportWise is more like talking with a real coach that doesn’t forget where you left off. This way, training stays relevant and progressive, helping them grow without starting from scratch each time.
4. Personalized Training Across Multiple Sports
SportWise doesn’t lock you into one sport or one coaching style. You can add any sport your child is interested in—from soccer and basketball to tennis and beyond. And because our AI models have been trained across a wide range of sports, they’re ready to offer expert advice on everything from improving footwork in soccer to mastering the serve in tennis.
How it boosts versatility:
Your child will try new sports and continuously change what matters to them. No need to download different apps or find new coaches. SportWise can guide you both seamlessly, helping them explore various sports while ensuring they receive sport-specific advice for each one.
5. On-Demand Coaching with No Scheduling Needed
With traditional coaching, you often have to work around schedules and limited availability. But with SportWise, there’s no need to book appointments or wait for coaching sessions. The AI coaches are available anytime, offering flexibility that fits into your child’s (and your family’s) routine.
How it provides convenience:
You and your child can train whenever you’re most motivated—whether it’s during a quick break after school or right before a weekend game. No more juggling busy calendars or missing training sessions. SportWise is ready when you are.
6. Holistic Approach: Strength, Skills, Strategy, and Nutrition
At SportWise, we believe that true athletic development involves more than just practicing skills. That’s why we’ve built AI coaches for four key areas:
- Strength: Tailored workouts to help your child build fitness and physical capabilities.
- Skills: Sport-specific drills and exercises to improve technique.
- Strategy: Game plans and positioning advice to help your child play smarter.
- Nutrition: Expert guidance on what to eat for optimal performance and recovery.
How it supports complete development:
Rather than focusing only on skills or fitness, SportWise ensures that every aspect of athletic growth is covered. This means your child is not only getting physically stronger but also learning smarter strategies and adopting healthier eating habits—all essential for long-term success.
