EXPERIENCE YOU CAN RELY ON

Myles is not just generic AI. It is trained on decades of emotional intelligence coaching

The Myles AI coaching companion was built from the ground up by Paul Miller, founder of The Mental Muscle Company.

Learn more about Paul

I’ve spent 26 years helping young athletes enjoy their sport and perform at their best.

In 2000, I founded Whiteley Oaks Basketball Club and later chaired Solent Suns. As players stepped up to stronger competition, I saw some lose their love of the game. Talent wasn’t the problem; pressure, self-doubt and the environment around them were. So I began running workshops on confidence, resilience, focus, emotional regulation and a growth mindset, and went on to deliver emotional intelligence workshops nationally for UK Coaching. In 2013, I founded The Mental Muscle Company to bring this work into schools.

Sport runs in our family. My wife played Division I basketball, and our daughter, whose love of the game grew as she got older, went on to represent her country and earn US scholarships. We know what it’s like to be the athlete, and the parent on the sidelines.

Today, I work with clubs, coaches and parents to create environments where young people keep their love of sport, build the mental skills to handle pressure, and reach their potential.

A real conversation

SCROLL TO READ

My son gets frustrated and loses focus when he misses a shot during his football match. What can I say from the sidelines to help him.

It’s great that you want to support your son during his football match! When he misses a shot, encouraging words can make a real difference. Here are some ideas for what you could say from the sidelines to help him regain focus and manage his frustration:

Acknowledge the feelings: “I know that was frustrating, but shake it off! You can do this!”
Encourage effort over outcome: “I saw how hard you tried! Focus on the next play. You’ve got this!”
Focus on process: “Remember your training! Just take a deep breath and play your game.”
Positive reminders: “Everyone misses shots sometimes! Keep your head up and keep playing.”
Encourage teamwork: “Look for your teammates! They are there to help you.”

By staying positive and reinforcing the idea that missing a shot is a part of the game, you’ll not only help him manage his immediate feelings but also promote resilience in the long run. Also, remember to celebrate his positives during the match, no matter how small! Your presence and support mean a lot.

What do you think resonates the most with you?

They all do. How many times do I say it and how. I try not to be frustrated by it but it’s hard

It’s completely understandable that managing your own emotions in those moments can be challenging. It might help to keep a few key phrases ready and repeat them consistently during matches. This approach reinforces the messages you want to convey and can help reduce your frustration when things don’t go smoothly.

Here’s how you could implement it:

Stay Calm and Consistent: Choose 2-3 phrases that feel right for you, like “Shake it off!” or “Focus on the next play!” and use them whenever something happens. Just say it calmly and clearly. You don’t need to repeat it endlessly; a couple of reminders can be sufficient.

Timing Matters: Share these encouraging words right after an incident, but also look for moments during breaks or timeouts to remind him that it’s okay to miss shots and to focus on moving forward.

Show Understanding: If you feel your own frustration bubbling up, take a deep breath before saying anything. A simple “I know it’s tough, but remember the fun of playing” can maintain a positive atmosphere.

Set an Example: If you’re able to model resilience by keeping a cool head about the game, it will naturally influence him. If he sees that you can handle your emotions, he might find it easier to do the same.

Debrief Together: After the match, have a light conversation about it. Ask how he felt and share your thoughts. It’s a bonding moment where you can both reflect without the heat of the moment.

It truly is a learning experience for both of you, and your effort to manage your reactions is a great model for him. With time and consistency, it’ll get easier! How do you feel about trying these out during the next match?

Sounds good

Great to hear! Remember, it’s a process, so be gentle with yourself and your son as you both navigate these moments together. Enjoy the next match, and I hope it’s filled with positive experiences! If you ever want to share how it goes or brainstorm more ideas, I’m here for you.

How is Myles different from ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a powerful general-purpose AI assistant. It can help with a wide range of tasks, from writing and research to planning, problem-solving and idea generation.

The Myles AI coach is different because it has been designed specifically as a reflective AI coaching companion, built from 26 years of real-life coaching experience. Rather than trying to answer everything, Myles helps people pause, think more clearly, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and decide what small step to take next.

Where ChatGPT often works best when you know what to ask, Myles helps when you are not quite sure what is going on yet. You might feel stuck, frustrated after a conversation, unsure about a decision, or caught in the same pattern again. Myles gives you a simple way in.

Myles uses coaching-style questions, mood check-ins, journaling and reflection to help you notice patterns, test assumptions and build self-awareness over time.

So the difference is simple:
ChatGPT helps you get answers. Myles helps you understand yourself well enough to act differently.

Who is Myles for?

The Myles AI coach is for anyone who wants a little more clarity in the moments that matter. You might be navigating change, stepping into a new role, facing a difficult decision, dealing with a challenging conversation, feeling stuck, or simply wanting to understand yourself better. You do not need to be in crisis or have everything neatly worked out before you begin.

What can I talk to Myles about?

You can talk to Myles about work, relationships, confidence, motivation, communication, leadership, decisions, stress, change, goals, setbacks or anything else you are trying to make sense of. Sometimes people arrive with a clear issue. Sometimes they just know something feels a bit off. Either is fine.

Do I need to have a specific problem to use Myles?

No. You do not need to arrive with a perfectly formed problem or a dramatic life event. The Myles AI coach can help when you simply want to check in with yourself, reflect on your mood, explore a thought, understand a reaction, or make sense of something that keeps coming back.

Sometimes clarity starts with, “I’m not sure what this is yet.”

Is Myles therapy or counselling?

No. Myles is not therapy, counselling, medical support or crisis care. It is a reflective AI coaching companion for everyday clarity, self-awareness and personal growth. If you are in immediate danger, feeling unable to keep yourself safe, or need urgent mental health support, you should contact emergency services or a qualified professional.

Can Myles give me advice?

The Myles AI coach is not designed to simply tell you what to do. Its role is to help you think more clearly, explore your options and decide what feels right for you. Sometimes it may offer a thought, a gentle challenge or a different way of looking at things, but the aim is always to help you find your own next step rather than hand you a one-size-fits-all answer.

How does Myles help me make progress?

The Myles AI coach helps you make progress by turning reflection into small, practical movement. Through coaching-style questions, mood check-ins, journaling and conversation, it helps you notice what is happening, understand what matters, spot recurring patterns and choose one step you can take next. Progress does not always need to be dramatic. Sometimes it starts with seeing something more clearly.

Is my conversation private?

Yes. The Myles AI coach is designed to give you a safe and personal space to reflect. Review the privacy information so you understand how your data is handled.

Is Myles only for leaders and executives?

No. The Myles AI coach is for anyone who needs help navigating their messy moments.

At its heart, Myles is for real people going through real life. You don’t need a professional title or a specific role to benefit from it. If you’re looking for support to understand yourself better, process your experiences, and move forward with more clarity and calm, Myles is for you.
