How does the assistant use GPS and heart‑rate exports to recommend load changes?
The assistant parses device exports to calculate session‑level metrics (distance, high‑speed distance, sprint counts, HR zone time). It compares recent sessions to short‑term rolling averages and flags relative spikes or accumulated load. For flagged players it returns three practical adjustments (e.g., modify session volume, swap high‑speed drills for technique work, or prescribe reduced involvement) with rationale and coaching language.
Can the AI create age‑appropriate drills and progressions for youth teams?
Yes. Templates and drill generators include age and development filters so outputs recommend technical complexity, repetition targets, and recovery appropriate to youth categories. Coaches can edit suggested progressions and printing formats to match club policies and available equipment.
What data formats does the assistant accept (CSV, timestamps, spreadsheets)?
Common accepted formats include CSV and XLSX exports from wearables, heart‑rate summaries, wellness surveys (CSV/JSON), and timestamped match event logs. The page includes a CSV formatting checklist and sample row mappings to ensure consistent parsing.
How do I customize a return‑to‑play progression for different injury histories?
Start with the generated RTP draft, then adjust objective checkpoints and clinician cues to reflect the athlete’s injury history and local protocols. The assistant provides a staged template with measurable criteria; clinicians should review and modify stages before authorising full return to play.
Is player data stored, and what privacy controls are available?
Teams control what they upload and can export or remove their project data. The assistant supports project‑level data management and role‑based access so staff can restrict visibility. For detailed data‑handling policies and account options, consult your Texta account manager or admin settings.
Can I export session plans and player handouts for printing or sharing?
Yes. Outputs can be formatted into printable PDFs (session plans and handouts) and exportable CSVs (per‑player load summaries and clinician checklists) so they fit existing club workflows.
How does the assistant adapt recommendations during congested fixture schedules or long travel?
When provided with fixture dates and travel windows, the assistant prioritises recovery and reduces high‑intensity exposures in the microcycle. It highlights recovery days, suggests session objectives that maintain readiness without overstressing players, and can produce communication templates explaining load changes to players.
Can the assistant create usable plans when training equipment is limited?
Yes. Templates include equipment‑minimal progressions and alternate drill lists. The drill generator accepts an equipment constraint parameter and returns drills that meet the session objective with available resources.
What sources or evidence inform conditioning and rehabilitation guidance?
Outputs are produced using coaching best practice patterns: progressive overload principles, objective checkpoints for RTP, and common S&C programming methods. Generated plans are intended to support, not replace, clinician judgement; always review and sign off clinical progressions locally.
How do I integrate the assistant into existing coach workflows and daily planning?
Start by standardising one export (GPS or HR) and a session template. Use the assistant to produce a weekly microcycle and a printable session plan, then distribute outputs in your usual channels. Save CSV mappings and session templates so staff can repeat the process with minimal setup.
