Messaging & AI-Assisted Review

Athlete cards and athlete profiles include a message action, but its current behavior is important: it opens Coach Watts AI Chat with a starter prompt about the athlete. It does not send a direct message, email, or notification to the athlete.

For the complete conversation, media, memory, approval, and tool reference, see AI Chat & Supported Tools.

Use the message action

1. Select the message icon on an athlete card or athlete profile.
2. Coach Watts opens /chat with a prompt such as “I'd like to discuss athlete's training. What should we focus on?”
3. Edit the prompt so it asks a precise coaching question.
4. Review the answer against the athlete profile, calendar, and analytics.

Useful review questions

• “Summarize the main compliance and recovery signals I should inspect.”
• “What data would help distinguish accumulated fatigue from one poor session?”
• “Give me a checklist for reviewing the athlete's next seven days.”

The athlete's name in the starter prompt is conversational context; it is not proof that every private athlete field has been attached to that chat turn. Verify important claims in the coach-visible data screens.

Contact the athlete

Use your established external communication channel when you need to contact the athlete directly. Do not assume the in-app message icon has delivered anything to them.

Good practice

• Avoid pasting unnecessary sensitive information into chat.
• Treat AI output as analysis support, not an automatic training decision.
• Confirm schedule changes in the coach calendar.
• Discuss material changes with the athlete through your normal communication channel.
