We don’t chase novelty tools. We focus on the thinking and structure that makes any tool useful: clear role briefs, behaviours over labels, constraints and trade-offs, repeatable shortlisting, and decision review that actually improves the process. Each episode gives you something you can use: - Role Definition Templates (behaviour-based, not position labels) - Question sets that lead to better shortlists - Meeting Structures that stop recruitment becoming a persuasion contest - Simple Ways to Stress-Test Decisions (“what would make this wrong?”) - How AI Fits Safely: drafting, checking, standardising outputs — never replacing judgement If you work in recruitment, scouting, analysis, coaching, or you’re aiming to, this show is for you. Clarity First. Tools Second.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013"},"episode":{"title":"Ep56: Preparing for the Summer Window — What to Do Before the Pressure Arrives","slug":"ep56-preparing-for-the-summer-window-what-to-do-before-the-pressure-arrives","published_at":"2026-05-02T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013/ep56-preparing-for-the-summer-window-what-to-do-before-the-pressure-arrives","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-i-in-football-6622013","url":"https://atc.captivate.fm/episode/ep56-preparing-for-the-summer-window-what-to-do-before-the-pressure-arrives","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d6ddd019-b7dc-416b-b929-73cd8b806431.mp3","summary":"Click Here To Learn More About The 'First XI Platform' Join the Free Kickstart Challenge Summary In episode 56 of the AI in Football podcast, hosts Tom Butterfield and guest David Bromley delve into how AI and data tools are revolutionising football recruitment, particularly during the crucial May preparation window.
