Will AI Replace Coaches? (Absolutely Not!)
If you’re worried that AI will make human coaches less valuable, don’t be. AI can generate words, but it can’t replace the personal connection, intuition, and empathy that a coach brings to the table. AI will never be able to teach an old guy to surf.
Think of AI as your content assistant—it helps with the writing so you can focus on coaching. You’re still in control of your voice, messaging, and client relationships.
