AI Coaching & Health Notice

Effective October 5, 2026 · Version 2026-10-05

You may be talking to AI

TopVelocity uses artificial intelligence in several places:

Brent AI — an AI training assistant that answers questions in the portals, on our website chat and by text message. It is an AI system, not a person, even though it is modeled on Brent Pourciau's coaching approach. Ask "are you a real person?" at any time and it will tell you it is AI.
MechanicsDNA, Pitch DNA, MotionIQ and related tools — software that estimates body positions and ball flight from video and sensor data.
AI-generated programs — training plans the software builds from your evaluation.

AI can be wrong, incomplete or out of date. Treat AI output as a training aid and check anything important with a qualified coach.

Not medical advice

Nothing from TopVelocity — including our AI, programs, videos, courses, coaches or Fuel nutrition content — is medical advice, physical therapy, athletic training services or individualized dietetic advice, and none of it diagnoses or treats an injury or condition. Always talk to a physician before starting a training program, and follow your doctor's guidance over anything you read here.

Arm pain: stop and get it checked

If you have arm, shoulder or elbow pain, numbness or tingling, or pain that changes how you throw: stop throwing and see a physician, licensed athletic trainer or physical therapist before continuing. Our AI assistant is designed to tell you the same thing and to point you to rest, not to work through pain. Follow age-appropriate pitch-count and rest guidelines such as MLB/USA Baseball Pitch Smart.

Nutrition

Fuel and other nutrition content is general education about eating for performance. It is not a meal plan for a medical condition, an eating disorder, an allergy or a weight-loss program. Athletes with any of these, and all young athletes considering supplements, should work with a physician or registered dietitian.

Emergencies and crisis support

Our AI and coaches cannot respond to emergencies. If someone is hurt, call 911. If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) any time.

Results vary

Athletes' results depend on age, growth, health, effort, consistency, coaching and many other factors. Testimonials and velocity gains we share are individual results, not a guarantee.

Questions or concerns

If an AI response seemed unsafe or wrong, please tell us at info@topvelocity.org so a person can review it.
