Coaching today isn’t just about the court. It’s about juggling emails, organizing practices, managing parents, and keeping everything running smoothly. That’s where AI for youth basketball coaches comes in. You don’t need to be a tech expert or data wizard to use it; you just need to know how to ask the right questions.
With the right approach, AI can help you save time, simplify your program, and get back to what you love most: coaching.
“I’m Not Tech-Savvy…” Is No Longer an Excuse
Every coach knows the feeling: you hear about some new piece of technology and immediately think, That’s not for me.You’re not alone.
That’s exactly why Coach Steve Collins built The Coaching AI Masterclass. As he says in the presentation:
“If you can text… you can use AI.”
This isn’t about learning complicated software or coding. It’s about using tools you already know, your phone, your laptop, your curiosity, to make coaching easier and more efficient.
Workshop Spotlight: The Coaching AI Masterclass
The Coaching AI Masterclass is a four-week live workshop built specifically for youth and high school basketball coaches who want to use technology without feeling overwhelmed.
Coach Collins walks you through the entire process of making AI your assistant coach, showing you how to ask the right questions, build better prompts, and turn everyday tasks into automated systems.
You’ll also get plug-and-play templates for practice planning, scouting reports, and team communication that you can adapt instantly to your own program.
The 3 Rules for Talking to AI
Coach Collins breaks it down into three simple steps:
- Ask the right questions.
- Ask them the right way.
- Ask for feedback.
That’s it. You don’t need to be a tech expert, you just need to know how to coach your AI the same way you coach your players. The better your communication, the better the results.
In The Coaching AI Masterclass, you’ll see how small wording changes can turn AI from a confusing chatbot into a confident assistant that helps you plan, organize, and prepare like never before.

Small Changes, Big Results
Here’s one of Coach Collins’ real examples straight from the masterclass PDF:
- “Explain basketball.” (Bad)
- “Explain basketball to a 10-year-old who plays soccer.” (Better)
- “Explain basketball to a 10-year-old who plays soccer and hates running, under 120 words and explain why.” (Best)
That’s the power of specificity. When you tailor your questions, AI tailors its answers, just like a good assistant coach who knows your players, your system, and your goals.
Practical Prompts Any Coach Can Try
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Here are a few simple prompts Coach Collins shares in the masterclass that any youth coach can use:
- “Explain zone defense like I’m a brand new youth coach.”
- “Give me 3 pregame speeches for a nervous middle school team.”
- “Make a parent email about practice times sound supportive but firm.”
Each one saves you time, reduces stress, and sharpens your communication without replacing the personal touch that makes you a great coach.
The Secret Isn’t the Tool, It’s the Question
Coach Collins compares AI to a veteran assistant: it never sleeps, it never forgets, and it gets better the more you use it. AI won’t replace your judgment, it amplifies it. Once you learn how to talk to it, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
