Question 1

What is CoachIQ?

Accepted Answer

CoachIQ is an AI coaching platform for soccer coaches. It generates practice plans, plans your season, tracks player development, analyzes games, captures reflections and slowly builds a picture of your coaching identity called Coach DNA.

Question 2

Can AI create soccer practice plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tell CoachIQ your focus, age group and available time and it will generate a full practice with warm-up, technical work, small-sided games, field diagrams, coaching points, common mistakes and progressions. You can regenerate any block or edit the plan directly.

Question 3

Is CoachIQ for youth soccer coaches?

Accepted Answer

CoachIQ is built for youth soccer coaches at every level — from volunteer parent-coaches with no formal background to experienced club coaches. Every recommendation explains the why so you learn as you plan.

Question 4

Does CoachIQ replace a coach?

Accepted Answer

No. CoachIQ takes the busy-work off your plate — planning, note-taking, remembering — so you spend more time actually coaching. The relationship, the judgement calls and the moments on the field stay entirely yours.

Question 5

How does Coach DNA work?

Accepted Answer

Coach DNA is nine coaching traits that evolve over time: Confidence Builder, Positive Communicator, Defensive Developer, Attacking Developer, Leadership, Adaptability, Reflection, Player Development, Culture Builder. It updates as you reflect, plan practices and analyze games — no scores, only growth areas.

Question 6

Is my players' data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Only you can see your team's data. Player names appear in your AI context but never in shared training data. You can export or delete your data at any time from Settings.

Question 7

Can clubs use CoachIQ?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the Club plan (coming soon) gives clubs shared drill libraries, Director-of-Coaching dashboards, roll-ups across every team, and up to 25 coach seats. Enterprise options are available for larger organisations.

Question 8

What makes CoachIQ different from a normal AI chatbot?

Accepted Answer

CoachIQ remembers every practice, game, reflection and Coach DNA update. Every recommendation references your specific team's history — not generic advice.
