Robert Moreno on SALA IA: becoming a better coach with AI

Artificial intelligence as a tool; the sporting decision, always human.

About this conversation: Robert Moreno takes part in SALA IA Podcast, by Pablo Sala (an artificial-intelligence specialist), to discuss how AI can help a coach. His approach is clear: artificial intelligence is one more tool —as video analysis once was— but the sporting decision is always human.

«Analysing matches was my way of standing out and finding a path to becoming a professional. Technology and data were always my tools.»— Robert Moreno

AI, one more tool

Robert Moreno has leaned on technology throughout his career: he was among the first to use video analysis when few saw its value. In that sense, artificial intelligence is a further step: it helps process information, prepare for the opponent and organise the work. But that is what it is —a tool, and a tool is neither good nor bad in itself: it depends on how you use it.

The decision, always human

What AI does not replace is the coach’s judgement: reading the group, understanding the context, managing emotions and deciding under pressure. In football, the player and people remain at the centre of everything. Technology assists; the sporting decision is made by the coach.
