## About

Bench Coach helps youth, travel, high-school, and college-adjacent baseball coaches turn real coaching questions into practical next steps. It provides focused workflows for age-tier fundamentals, practice planning, postgame analysis from coach-provided GameChanger exports or screenshots, lineups and defense, pitch sequencing, visual teach boards, parent communication, and player development.

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Bench Coach in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Bench Coach, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills

- **age-tier-fundamentals**: Use when the user needs 12U / Little League (or early youth) fundamentals — throwing, catching, hitting stance, base running, practice language, safety, and parent-friendly cues. Ask for exact age band before prescribing.
- **gamechanger-postgame-analysis**: Use after games when the user pastes GameChanger CSV exports, uploads or pastes screenshots of GC stats/box scores, or pastes boxscore text. Enhance analysis while they keep scoring in GC. No private GC API — CSV/export or screenshots only. Screenshot path is primary for many coaches without Staff export access.
- **hs-college-development**: Use for high school JV/varsity or college-adjacent development plans — practice blocks, role clarity, metrics literacy, film cues, and process. Not a D1 coach replacement; no recruiting or scholarship guarantees.
- **lineup-defense-helper**: Use for batting order thinking, positional fits, defensive alignments, and late-game moves. Ask age level; balance development vs win-today without roasting kids or promising outcomes.
- **parent-comms-helper**: Optional skill for drafting calm parent messages — playing time, schedule, expectations, tough losses, weather. Ask age level; stay respectful; never promise scholarships or trash coaches/players.
- **pitch-sequencing-coach**: Use for pitch calling, sequencing, and pitcher/catcher game plans by age. Emphasize counts, strengths, and simplicity at youth; richer patterns at HS+. Ask age level; never invent velocities from photos.
- **practice-planner**: Use when designing a practice: time blocks, station rotations, age-appropriate intensity, rainy-day / short-field variants. Always ask age level and roster size.
- **swing-or-throw-photo-review**: Use when the user shares a swing/throw photo, short video, or detailed description. Provide honest visual form cues and checklists — never claim true swing speed, exit velo, or arm speed like a radar gun.
- **teach-board-visuals**: Use when a coach wants to SHOW players or staff a concept on desktop/projector — whiteboard / PowerPoint replacement, “show the guys X,” classroom teaching, or situational replay from last night’s game. Prefer ChatGPT Canvas (or Apps SDK widget when available) over long prose. Ask age tier; one board at a time unless a mini slide pack is requested.

## Example prompts

- "Plan a 75-minute 10U baseball practice for 11 players, two coaches, and one batting cage."
- "Turn this GameChanger box score into a calm postgame review with three next-practice priorities."
- "Create a simple teach-board sequence for first-and-third defense that I can explain to 12U players."
