Welcome to Coaches School, inside NexGen AI Academy.
I'm Jay Cotton. I played professional football, and I coach youth ball right here in Chattanooga β Lady Grinders girls flag football, and softball families all over our area. I built the apps in this Academy because I lived the problems first: plays drawn on notebook paper Sunday night, signs getting stolen from the dugout, kids talented enough to play and not eligible to dress.
If you coach β or you've got a kid who plays β this classroom is yours:
π THE CLASSROOM (Coaches School tab)
Start Here β Fundamentals First β HotRead Play Design β Dugout Call Pitch Calling β Game IQ & Parent Playbook β Tryouts & Tournaments
Short lessons. Real game footage. One action step each β built for coaches with a practice in two hours, not two weeks.
π οΈ YOUR TOOLS
HotRead β draw it, animate it, print the wristband (hotreadplay.lovable.app)
Dugout Call β call pitches without signs (dugoutcall.com)
Plus the Academy's custom GPTs β ask them to turn any lesson here into a printable practice plan.
π£ IN THIS FEED
Coach's Corner every week β a play, a pitch sequence, a drill, straight talk.
Live coaching calls with me twice a month β bring your hardest question.
Do two things now:
1. Finish Module 1 in the classroom (5 minutes).
2. Introduce yourself below: coach or parent-coach? Sport? City? Team?
Glad you're here. Leave it all on the field.
