The phone just redefined the word side piece for players. Coach and motivator on demand.

Athletes and coaches of all calibers now have the incredible opportunity to monetize their knowledge, Name, Image and Likeness (NIL). This influx of options to build and monetize multi-million dollar personal brands has disrupted the sports industry and lowered the barrier of entry for athletes and coaches. With the right tools, any athlete can create a massive following, monetize their personal brand, and have a career even after their playing or coaching days have ended. This new wave of athlete-driven monetization has opened up a world of opportunity for anyone aspiring to a career in sports. No more sad media stories of washed up athletes working at the used car dealership.

The SAAS model has revolutionized the sports industry by providing access to advanced training tools that were once only available to professional athletes. With the availability of vast amounts of statistical data on players and the emergence of Large Language Models like ChatGPT, coaches and trainers can now tailor training programs and analyze natural language data in real-time with unparalleled precision. This democratization of technology has made it possible for even the smallest teams and individual athletes to leverage advanced tools to optimize their performance. As a pseudo technologist and entrepreneur, I'm excited to see how these technological advancements will continue to shape and transform the sports industry. Great article, and something I have been thinking about for a while.
