Hey Product Hunt! 👋

We're the team behind Hobbit, and we'd love to share why we built it.

Youth football has a coaching problem. Millions of kids train every week, but most sessions still look the same: lines, laps, and lectures. Kids stand waiting for their turn, run laps as "conditioning", and get shouted instructions they can't process mid-game. Research shows the average youth player loses 100+ hours per year just standing in line.

Meanwhile, the world's best academies, La Masia, Ajax, Clairefontaine, all converge on one idea: Game Intelligence. The ability to read the game, make decisions, and solve problems on the pitch. Not drills. Not repetition. Intelligent play.

Hobbit is built on this foundation.

We spent years studying and synthesizing coaching methodologies from 6 major football federations (FA England DNA, Spanish RFEF, Dutch KNVB, French FFF, German DFB) and 4 academic frameworks (Teaching Games for Understanding, Constraints-Led Approach, Non-Linear Pedagogy, Long-Term Athlete Development). We distilled this into a unified system called DGC Dynamic Training, where every session is designed around Decision-making, Game-related context, and Creativity.

This isn't generic AI giving generic drills. Behind every response is years of research, synthesizing elite academy methods from La Masia to Clairefontaine into a unified coaching framework. The AI doesn't just know football. It understands how children learn football at every age.

What Hobbit does:

⚽ Session Design: Describe your needs, get a structured session with pitch diagrams built around Game Intelligence: every activity is designed to develop decision-making, not just technique. Refine through conversation. U6 gets play-based games, U14 gets tactical problem-solving.

💬 Coaching Q&A: Answers grounded in real methodology, not internet guesswork.

📚 Academy: 36-week Game Intelligence curriculum + curated coaching knowledge library.

🎨 Graphic Design: AI-generated club badges, player portraits, certificates, match posters.

✍️ Article Writer: Coaching reflections, parent letters, training reports.

We'd love feedback from anyone in coaching, youth sports, or education. What would make this more useful?
