Coaches don’t buy software — they buy their Tuesday evenings back, a team that stops conceding from corners, and an answer when a parent asks “what’s my kid working on?”. These are the real problems, and exactly which part of DRILLPITCH fixes each one.
Coaching is your second job, so planning happens when your brain is done for the day — and session quality pays for it.
SOLVED BY: The AI Coach’s Assistant (Starter, £9.99/mo) — full sessions, drills and coaching points in seconds, age-banded to the laws of the game. Or ready-made: 900+ manuals including The Problem Solver (£12.99).
Activity isn’t development — queues and laps produce almost no touches and no decisions.
SOLVED BY: The Drill Assistant (all plans) — describe any drill and it designs it properly: setup, steps, coaching points, common mistakes, progressions. Depth, not busywork.
You know you keep losing the midfield or conceding from corners; turning that into training is the hard part.
SOLVED BY: The Tactics Assistant + Formation Builder (Club, £39.99/mo) — 33 formations with honest pros & cons, your exact shape on the board, the opposition mirrored, match-sheet PDFs — and an adviser that reads the board you built.
Development lives in your head, which means on a busy Tuesday it doesn’t exist.
SOLVED BY: My Squad (all plans) — log training and match performances; the assistant assesses each player and keeps their development plan current all season.
Scorelines, league tables and training logs hold the patterns — who reads them?
SOLVED BY: ELITE Game Data analysis (£79.99/mo) — photograph result sheets, tables and session notes; the analyst reads them together, spots trends across matches, and tells you what to work on next. Team-level only, strictly safeguarded.
A session plan here, a tactics book there — it adds up past any subscription fast.
SOLVED BY: One plan replacing the lot — session planner, drill designer, tactics tools, player tracking and analysis from £9.99/month, cancel any time. Prices in your currency, replies in 29 languages.
