An intriguing approach to match preparation.
Details: Head coach of the American women's side Seattle Reign, Laura Harvey, revealed in an interview with The Athletic that she relies on ChatGPT to prepare for NWSL matches:
“One offseason, I was typing questions into ChatGPT like, ‘What is Seattle Reign’s identity?’ and it instantly gave me an answer. I thought, 'I’m not sure if that's really accurate or not.'
Then I asked, ‘What formation should you use to beat NWSL teams?’ and it listed every club in the league and the formations to use against them. For two teams, it said, ‘You need to play with five at the back.’ So I did just that. No joke, that's exactly why I made that decision,” Harvey admitted.
