Empowering Belmont Athletics: AI Tools to Optimize Coaching & Operations
At Belmont University, innovation and tradition converge. This August, we collaborated with Belmont’s athletic department to deliver a bespoke AI workshop—“AI in Action: Real‑World Tools for Coaches, Trainers & Athletic Staff.” With participants from coaching, training, marketing, sales, and social media, ages 22–70, we explored how AI can streamline workflows, enhance communication, and support team performance.
Workshop Highlights:
A CAP-based prompting framework (Context, Action, Parameters) that turns AI into a trusted assistant rather than a mystery box.
Live demos: generating 10-week strength programs, motivational team emails, scouting reports, social content calendars, and travel itineraries.
Data-backed insights: AI-driven workflows reduced admin time by as much as 70%, and predictive models can lower injury risk by up to 15%.
Thank You to Our Team:
A heartfelt thanks to Josh Ward, Jennifer Johnson, Emma Adams, Renee Schultz, and Scott Corley from Belmont Athletics, your collaboration and vision made this workshop truly hybrid of strategy and practice. And to Kamron Kunce at RJ Young, thank you for the essential introduction that connected Doug’s strategy with Belmont’s ambitions—truly partnership in action.
Why This Matters for Nashville & Beyond:
Coaching today isn’t just X’s and O’s it’s efficiency, momentum, and clarity.
Sharing practical AI tools accessible to all experience levels builds community momentum around technology + human-centered teamwork.
By tailoring this workshop to every staff role, from recruiting to operations to creative marketing, we accelerated buy-in and real use.
Looking Ahead:
We’re excited to continue empowering Belmont’s athletic teams and the broader Nashville sports community with workshops, resources, and coaching-coach AI assets. Want templates for training prompts or script prompts for staff communications? We’re happy to share the resources developed.
