Artificial intelligence has become an almost inescapable technology, including in sport. From Whoop to Strava, AI appears to be taking over how we train, rest and recover. But few of these high-tech developments come with the celebrity cachet of the new The Coachsters app revealed by Bradley Wiggins on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
The app has partnered with Wiggins, alongside other famous athletes, to bring you the \u201cinsights and stories they\u2019ve never shared publicly before\u201d to aid you with all aspects of your training via a \u201ccustom-built AI technology\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter months of work \u2013 and countless hours of deep interviews \u2013 I\u2019m really proud to finally share my new coaching app,\u201d Wiggins said in an Instagram post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with the team at The Coachsters, we\u2019ve captured thinking, experiences and lessons that I\u2019ve never shared publicly before, and shaped them into something athletes can access whenever they need it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis app is about the conversations I believe more athletes should be having: how to train with intent, how to deal with pressure and expectation, how to handle setbacks, and how to think clearly about performance, identity, and life in sport \u2013 not just the good days, but the difficult ones too.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can ask the app any question you\u2019d ask me in person and receive an answer drawn directly from my own experience,\u201d his post continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alongside Wiggins, The Coachsters has worked with a range of other athletes. Rower Steve Redgrave, former England cricket captain Alastair Cook and cycling Paralympian Sarah Storey are all available as mentors. You can also use the app to access the insights of exercise physiologist professor Greg Whyte and dancing coach Katya Jones, with more coaches to come.<\/p>\n
