The Models Behind the Magic: How You’re Shaping the Future of AI Coaching
|
Hello Reader, We’ve always said it: Athletica is built on the shoulders of giants. In our latest two-part podcast with Dr. Andrea Zignoli, we dive into what that really means.

Thanks for being on the journey with us. Paul Laursen, PhD P.S. If you’re enjoying your experience with Athletica, we’d be grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Your feedback helps others discover us—and helps us continue to grow. 🙏 |
