Hi friends!

Hope you’re ready for a jam-packed newsletter. We’re covering the Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl, and some new Sportlingo features that are all about helping players actually learn the game.

❄️ The Winter Olympics (What Is Even Going On?)

Have you ever been watching the Winter Olympics and thought… I have absolutely no idea what’s happening right now?

Is curling a strategy or just aggressive sweeping?
How are points scored in moguls or halfpipe?
Why did that skier just launch off a cliff?

Sportlingo is here to save the day.

We just launched a new feature called Ask Wingman, where you can ask our AI anything about sports — rules, scoring, strategy, terminology — and get a clear, easy-to-understand answer. Ask Wingman is live now in the iOS App Store.

Note: if you’re feeling really ambitious and want to train like a future Olympian, you should create a Coaching Dashboard account and go wild with AI lesson packs and fitness challenges. 🥇🏂🎿

🏈 Super Bowl Is Coming Up

The Super Bowl is the most-watched event in the United States. Last year, over 127.7 million viewers tuned in to watch the game. If you or your players want to better understand what’s happening on the field, Sportlingo is a great companion for Super Bowl Sunday.

Use lesson packs to learn football fundamentals ahead of time, and tap into our Ask AI feature during the game to get quick explanations as plays unfold. Please don’t be the one at the Super Bowl party who doesn’t know what a field goal is. 😉

🚀 New Calendar Feature (Now Live!)

We just launched a Calendar feature in the Sportlingo Coaching Dashboard. Coaches can now:
Schedule practices
Add games and team events
Plan fitness and recovery sessions

Beyond team planning, his feature helps kids learn how to use and manage a calendar in a practical, real-world way. Lesson packs, player assignments, and calendars are now all live in the dashboard.

Pilot Programs: Low-Risk, High-Impact

Improving sports IQ is one of the main reasons I built Sportlingo. Coaches use the coaching dashboard to make lessons, and the kids work on the lessons in the mobile app. I’m happy to offer a free pilot program with your team! These programs are a very low-risk way for your club to try our software and see real results.

Benefits of Pilot Programs:

  • Better retention: There's substantial data showing kids forget most of what they learn in practice. Sportlingo helps them retain information through spaced repetition and gamified lessons.

  • Better performance: Kids perform better when they understand the game. Higher soccer IQ translates directly to better decision-making on the field.

If you're interested in running a pilot program with your team or club, I'd love to discuss how we can make it work for you. You can reply to this email or schedule a call here.

Thanks for reading, and happy (sports) learning! 🏈 ⚽ ❄️ 🏆
