How to build a sports practice plan
A good practice plan is predictable and repeatable. AI Parent helps you structure sessions so students improve skills and practice consistently.
Pick a sport such as
- basketball
- football
- soccer
- baseball
- tennis
- swimming
- volleyball
Generate → review → save to Profile
- Open the Planning page.
- Select the person/profile.
- Choose the "Sports" goal option.
- Select the sport from the Sports goal dropdown menu.
- Generate a plan.
- Review the tasks and remove or edit anything that does not fit.
- Save the plan to the person’s profile. Alternatively, you can choose to tap "Regenerate" or "Discard".
Find the saved plan under that person on the Profile page. View the schedule and edit the days, times, duration, start date, and end date as needed.
Set the time budget
The right time budget depends on the person’s age, skill level, and schedule.
- Practice frequency (2–7 days/week)
- Session length (15–90 minutes)
A simple practice routine
- Warmup (5–10 min)
- Skill drills (10–30 min)
- Game-like reps (10–30 min)
- Cooldown (3–8 min)
- Advice: take breaks in between exercises to lower the risk of injury.
How to keep motivation high
- Keep tasks fresh and engaging by generating new ones over time.
- Celebrate effort and consistency (not just performance).
- If the tasks feel too difficult, generate plans with easier tasks to complete.
- If there are tasks you already complete regularly, you can add them to AI Parent using Custom Plan creation.
Best practices
- Pro tip: If you want to focus on something specific, such as an unlisted sport, particular drills, or tasks matched to a skill level, use the custom goal to enter your own requirements for the plan, tasks, and schedule.
