Have an AI agent build every athlete’s pace table into tomorrow’s practice plan

self-reported

A pace table that used to take him almost an hour per practice now takes 30 seconds of talking into his phone and about two minutes of the agent working. It’s printed and ready, and his swimmers can hold themselves to specific times.

Steve LeDuc is a pro swim coach with more than 15 years of high-performance coaching. Young swimmers struggle to know their practice pace because their times keep dropping at meets, and doing the math mid-set is hard. He asked an AI agent to find every swimmer in his morning group, calculate their 200 backstroke and 200 freestyle pace plus their best 50 freestyle and 50 backstroke, and put it all in a shaded table on page 2 of his practice doc.

Try it now

  1. Keep your roster and latest meet or test results in one sheet or doc the agent can read.
  2. Tell it which group, which events and which paces you want for each athlete.
  3. Have it put the table straight into your practice doc in the same spot every time.
  4. Spot-check two or three athletes against your own math the first week.
  5. Re-run it after every meet so the targets move as your athletes get faster.
Copy-paste prompt
Open [results sheet] and find every athlete in [group name]. For each, take their best times in [events, e.g. 200 BK, 200 FR, 50 FR, 50 BK] and calculate their practice pace per [25 / 50 / 100]. Put it in a table (name, event, best time, target pace) with bold headers and light gray shading, on page 2 of [practice doc]. Don’t change anything else in the doc. List any athlete with missing times at the bottom.

Make it run every week

A play works once. Turn it into a routine in three small steps:

  1. Run it once and check the result yourself.
  2. Give your AI a schedule. Tell it when to run this play (every week, or every month) and to message you with what it found before you act.
  3. Keep a log. One line per run: what was checked, anything flagged, what you did.

What to watch out for

Self-reported from his own post. Check the first few rows by hand, because one wrong best time sets a wrong target all week. The same play works for personal trainers, run clubs and tutors. Build it with Page: a private page where athletes or parents can see their current targets.

    Turn a book idea into a full staff workshop guide with Claude in 3 minutes

    self-reported

    A 5-page guide for a 45-minute staff workshop, with role-play scenarios, in 3 minutes instead of 3–4 hours; about 8 hours a week saved overall with Claude and Grok.

    Dan, who leads a team at his company and also runs the Spotted Model EV and tech channel, says Claude and Grok have cut about eight hours from his five-day week and freed him to spend time on the floor with his team. After reading a business book about candor at work, he wanted the whole staff to learn it. It would have taken him 3–4 hours to build the agenda, outcomes and scenarios. He gave Claude a summary of the idea, and because it already knew the company culture, it wrote a 5-page guide he could use word for word for a 45-minute workshop, role-play scenarios included, in three minutes.

  • Coaches and creatorsChatGPT

    Build a ChatGPT + Gmail + Sheets prospecting engine that starts real conversations

    self-reported

    76 prospects contacted, 133 emails including follow-ups, 14 replies (18.4%), 8 booked calls and 2 new clients at $4,000 each: $8,000 in new sales. No ads, no paid CRM, no SDR.

    Jeremy C. Jones helps coaches turn their expertise into books that bring in clients. He wanted a steady way to find B2B clients without hours of manual prospecting. He set up ChatGPT to research prospects that match one clear ideal client, with a timing signal like expanding or hiring, and put them in a Google Sheet. Gmail is connected so the AI drafts a short, personal first email for each one. The first email doesn’t pitch. It mentions something specific about their business, says why he’s reaching out, offers one idea and asks a low-pressure question. His advice: start with a small batch you review by hand, track replies in the Sheet, then schedule the research to repeat.
