Jayton turns your post-session voice notes into player profiles, match reports, and training plans — automatically, through WhatsApp. No forms to fill in. No app to download.
Most coaches spend hours every week on admin — writing up notes, building reports, planning sessions from scratch and booking their referees. Jayton replaces all of that with a single WhatsApp conversation and scheduled reminders.
We will keep you in the loop as Jayton comes to life — launch dates, early access, the odd update. Nothing you did not sign up for. You can unsubscribe any time, no questions asked.
The admin problem
How it works
Send a voice note after the session
Just talk — who played well, who struggled, what to work on next time. Messy and natural, exactly how you would tell a fellow coach. It takes about two minutes.
Jayton listens and remembers
Every observation is transcribed, understood, and added to your players' profiles. Names, positions, notes, patterns — all stored automatically and building up week by week.
Ask for what you need, when you need it
Match report, training plan, scheduled reminders, player summary before a big game — just ask in WhatsApp. Jayton pulls it together from your own words, not generic advice.
The longer you use it, the more useful it gets
Player profiles build week by week. Recurring themes surface on their own. By the end of the season you have a complete record of the year — without having written a single report yourself.

Got it, here is what I picked up from tonight:
*Jake* — controlled the tempo well, strong positional awareness in midfield
*Liam* — first touch still letting him down, third session this has come up
*Lewis* — did not attend, no reason given
Focus flagged: pressing and defensive shape
All three player profiles updated. Lewis is now showing two absences in a row — worth a message from you before Thursday.
Good shout on Lewis, I will drop him a message. Can you do a training plan for Thursday focused on pressing?
Jayton
*Thursday — Pressing session (60 mins)*
*Warm-up (10 min)*
Rondos 4v2 in tight space. High intensity, quick transitions. Sets the press mindset from the off.
*Main block (30 min)*
Press triggers in units of 3. Trigger on a back pass, a poor first touch, or keeper in hands. Put Liam in the front press unit to work on his reactions off the ball. Jake to set the shape from midfield.
*Game (20 min)*
8v8 — any team winning the ball back inside the final third scores double. Reinforces the habit under match pressure.
Built from your last three sessions. Want me to add this to your Thursday reminder?
Yes please, set it for 5:30
Jayton
Done. I will send you this session plan again at 5:30 on Thursday.

Good result. Here is the match report:
*Northfield Rangers 3-1 Ridgewell Athletic*
Solid performance, especially in the first half. The press worked well early on — exactly what you worked on Thursday. Jake was your best player, pulling the strings throughout and winning the ball high up the pitch on multiple occasions.
Liam improved on his first touch in a match situation, though it broke down in the second half under fatigue. Worth noting he is making progress. Ryan at right back had a difficult afternoon — caught out twice by their winger cutting inside.
*Ratings* — Jake 8/10 · Liam 6/10 · Ryan 5/10 · Rest of squad 6-7/10
All profiles updated. What did you notice about Ridgewell today — any danger players or patterns worth saving for next time?
Their number 10 was the danger — very direct, always looked to play through the lines. They sat in a 4-4-2 out of possession, quite compact. In possession they went 4-2-3-1 with the 10 dropping. Full backs stayed deep all game.
Jayton
Saved to Ridgewell Athletic's opposition profile. Anything else — goalkeeper, set pieces, specific moments worth noting?
Keeper was shaky with crosses — came for one he should have left. No real set piece threat.
Jayton
Got it. Here is what is saved for Ridgewell Athletic:
*Danger player* — No.10, direct, drops between lines in possession
*In possession* — 4-2-3-1, No.10 as the pivot
*Out of possession* — 4-4-2 compact block
*Full backs* — defensive, rarely contribute in attack
*Goalkeeper* — uncertain with crosses
*Set pieces* — no significant threat noted
I will surface all of this if you face them again.

We have got Ridgewell Athletic again tomorrow. Can you pull together what we know and give me something for the team talk?
Jayton
Here is everything from last time on Ridgewell Athletic:
*Watch* — No.10 drops into the space between your midfield and defence. Jake will need to track him or hand off clearly.
*Their shape* — 4-4-2 without the ball, compact centrally. Full backs stay deep — the wide areas were open last time.
*Opportunity* — keeper uncertain with crosses, worth targeting from wide.
*Set pieces* — no significant threat noted.
*Tactical note* — their compact 4-4-2 is hard to break through centrally. Given Ryan struggled against their winger last time, consider shifting Jake wider on that side to cover and use the opposite flank to attack. Liam's improved touch gives you an option to play through their press if you can get him on the ball early.
What is the weather looking like for tomorrow?
Jayton
*Tomorrow — 11 degrees C, rain from 10am, wind 18mph SW. Feels like 8 degrees C.*
Wet and windy — a few things worth thinking about. Heavy rain will make the surface slick, which could affect Liam's first touch, so give him shorter passing options. The wind is strong enough to make crossing unreliable, which works against targeting their keeper from wide today — a more direct, compact approach might suit the conditions better. Make sure the squad warm up properly; with wind chill it will feel like 8 degrees C out there.
Useful, thanks. Can you put together a short team talk I can use tomorrow morning?
Jayton
Here is a team talk for tomorrow:
_"Last time we played these we were excellent in the first half — the press was sharp and we made it hard for them to play. That starts again today from the first whistle._
_Their No.10 is their danger. He drops deep to get on the ball — Jake, that is your job today, stay tight when he drops._
_Their full backs sit deep all game so we have space wide. Use it early. In these conditions keep it simple — short, sharp, play what is in front of you._
_We have done the work. Let us go and show it."_
Good luck tomorrow. Send me a voice note after the match.
What is included
Talk after the session. No forms, no typing, no logging in. One two-minute habit replaces hours of admin.
Every observation builds a picture of each player across the season — strengths, development areas, attendance, patterns.
Generated from your own notes. Specific, honest, written in plain language. Not a template — your actual observations.
Based on what actually came up in your sessions, not generic drills. Referenced to real things you noticed.
Match day and training reminders sent automatically, including referee alerts for home fixtures. Paused in the off-season without you doing a thing.
End of season report covering every player and every theme. A complete record, built session by session.
Before every home fixture, Jayton reminds you to check whether a referee has been assigned. If you still need one, you'll know early enough to sort it — no more realising on Saturday morning the game has no ref.
After every game, Jayton reminds you to submit your result to the FA or league. With your notes already captured, you'll have everything you need — score, scorers, standout moments — to fill it out confidently and quickly.
