Welcome to episode 85 of Heavy Or Not, The OG Swim Guide, where we reveal a grant proposal to build an AI‑powered Coaching Wizard for youth swimming programs. We’ll explain the vision, the tech, the partnership model, the budget, and the roadmap to launch.
The core concept: AI as a connector, not a director, to spark reflection and conversation. How the Coaching Wizard works: personalized prompts, voice/text reflections, and 3‑D avatar feedback.
The ecosystem of partners: schools, nonprofits, tech developers, national coaching networks, and media.
Funding breakdown: $92 K total, $50 K grant request, $42 K in‑kind partner contributions.
12‑month rollout plan: co‑design workshops, pilot launch, storytelling phase, and final evaluation.
