The Human Edge: Why AI Can't Replace a Coach


Listen Later

Join Coach Chris Newport as she makes the case for why AI can't replace a coach when training for a multisport event. While AI might be cheap, it just doesn't yet compare to the element of a good coach-athlete relationship. 

Here's what's discussed:

• AI plans offer structure but miss crucial context about your life circumstances
• Coaches interpret data beyond numbers, considering genetic factors affecting recovery and adaptation
• Device accuracy significantly impacts AI plan effectiveness, while coaches can recognize flawed inputs
• Technique assessment and personalized race strategy require human observation
• Coaching provides crucial accountability and motivation during challenging periods
• Ideal coaching candidates include newcomers to the sport, experienced athletes with ambitious goals, and those with complex schedules
• Injury management and breaking through plateaus benefit significantly from personalized coaching
