Player Development

Player development is led by Coach Bloom, the cultivator on your AI staff. The hub is the Player Development page (/development), where you can see active plans, generate new ones, and track progress through the season.

Creating a plan

From the Player Development index, click New Plan. Two preconditions:

• The season must be active.
• The player can't already have an active plan. (Plans are exclusive — finish or archive the existing one first.)

The form has three sections:

• Player (required) — single-select dropdown of available players, with position, year, and role shown for context. Players who already have an active plan are filtered out.
• Schedule (required) — start date (defaults to today) and length (2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks).
• Focus Areas (optional) — free text for what you want this plan to prioritize ("right-hand finishing, on-ball defense closeouts").

Two ways to create:

• Generate Plan — runs the AI pipeline. Coach Bloom drafts the weekly structure, drills, and coaching points based on the player's profile, your roster context, and the focus areas you provided.
• Start Blank — creates an empty plan structure you fill in yourself. Useful when you'd rather draft from scratch.

Generation is asynchronous — you'll see a progress card on the Player Development index while it runs.

What's in a plan

• Player header — name, position, role, projected minutes
• Plan metadata — start date, length, focus areas (editable)
• Weekly breakdowns — for each week: goals, drills, coaching points
• Key development areas — the top priorities Coach Bloom is targeting

The view is editable end-to-end. Toggle Edit to revise weekly content, swap drills, or adjust focus areas as the plan progresses.

Dev plans vs. dev cards

Two related but distinct things live on a player's profile:

• Dev plan — the multi-week, AI-generated plan covered above. Structured, formal, time-bound.
• Dev card — a lightweight, persistent card on the player's profile capturing the short-form picture: what they're working on right now, recent notes, quick reference. Always there, no formal structure required.

Use the dev card for day-to-day notes and the dev plan when you want a deliberate, multi-week roadmap.

Updating as the season unfolds

Open an active plan and update progress notes as you go — what's improving, what's stuck. Those notes feed back into future plan generations and into the weekly report Coach Prime produces, so the longer you use it the more contextual the suggestions become.
