Problem
Basketball athletes must juggle training, academics, nutrition, and recovery without a unified system, leading to fragmented development and missed performance goals. Coaches and trainers often work in silos, making it difficult to align individual player development with team-wide objectives and to identify when players need additional support.
Solution
mi GRIND provides an AI basketball mentor that builds personalized plans across training, skills, film, nutrition, school, and habits, grounded in sports science research. Athletes set specific goals—such as shooting 40% from three or adding inches to their vertical—and the platform generates every session in between, down to the weight on the bar, adapting weekly based on logged work. For programs, mi GRIND connects head coaches, assistants, and trainers so staff feedback, scouting reports, and practice plans translate into individualized plans for each player under the program's name. The platform also flags scheduling clashes between staff recommendations before anything is sent to athletes.
Target Audience
Primary users are basketball athletes seeking structured development, and coaching staff—head coaches, assistants, and trainers—who need to coordinate training, scouting, and recovery across an entire team.
