Why Generative AI is a Thinking Tool — Not a Threat

Gen AI in Sport: A Tool for Thinking, Not a Replacement for Coaches

AI doesn’t replace wisdom. It expands what we can do with it.

There’s growing anxiety in coaching circles about AI, that it might replace the intuitive decisions, the gut feel, the ‘human’ part of performance.

But here’s the truth: AI is a tool for thinking better, not for thinking less.
Used well, Gen AI can give coaches superpowers, pattern recognition at scale, scenario planning in seconds, contextual feedback from thousands of data points.

But it still takes a human to ask the right question, to understand the context, to build trust.

The future isn’t coach vs. AI. It’s coach plus AI. And the best ones will learn to lead both people and systems.
