Answering surveys
Most teams use two surveys: the morning check-in once a day, and the session survey after every session. Each takes less than a minute.
Where your surveys are
Today lists every survey your coaches have given your team. Each card says what is left to do:
- Answer now: a once-a-day survey you have not answered today.
- Answered at 07:42 and Change answers: done for today. Changing replaces your earlier answers.
- Add a session: a survey you answer once per session. The card lists every session you have logged today, one line each, such as "Morning session · 45 min · at 09:12".
Today shows only your surveys. Your numbers are in My stats; see Player page and My stats.
The morning check-in
Thursday 29 October
Hi Eetu!
Morning check-in
Sleep, readiness and anything that hurts. Answer right after you wake up.
Session survey
Fill in after every training session and match.
| Question | How to answer |
|---|---|
| How many hours did you sleep? | Hours, in half hours (7.5). From 0 to 16. |
| Sleep quality | 0 = very poor, 3 = poor, 5 = moderate, 7 = good, 10 = very good. |
| Readiness | 0 = very tired, 3 = tired, 5 = neutral, 7 = good, 10 = best possible. How ready you feel to train today. |
| Aches & how you feel | Optional. A few words about anything that hurts or feels off, such as "tight hamstring" or "a bit stuffy". Your coaches are told at once. |
Answer right after you wake up, before training. Then your coach sees it in time to plan the session.
What the numbers mean
A scale can have a few words for its numbers. They sit under the buttons, and the number you pick is highlighted, so you can check that "7" really means what you feel. On a computer, hover a number to see its words.
When every number has its words, as on the session load scale, only the one you picked shows under the buttons. Press What the numbers mean to see the whole list, and Hide to close it.
The session survey
Fill it in after every training session, gym session and match — on the same day if you can.
Session survey
- Which session? Morning session, team training, gym, own training or match.
- Duration: the minutes you actually trained. Use a quick pick (30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 120) or − and + in steps of five.
- Session load (RPE): how hard the whole session felt, from 0 (rest) to 10 (maximal). Every number has its words: 3 is fairly easy, 5 moderate, 7 hard, 9 nearly maximal. Think of the session as a whole, not its hardest moment.
- Recovery before the session: how recovered you were when it started, from 0 (very poor recovery) to 10 (very good recovery).
How load is counted
The load of a session is RPE × minutes. A 90-minute training at RPE 7 is 7 × 90 = 630. A 45-minute gym session at RPE 5 is 225. The unit is "AU" (arbitrary units): the number only means something compared with your other days and weeks.
A day's load is the sum of its sessions. A day without a session counts as zero, so rest days lower your weekly load, as they should. See Load ratio for how the weeks are compared.
Answering for an earlier day
Forgot last night's session? Every survey has a Day menu at the top: Today, Yesterday and up to 7 days back. You can't answer for a day that hasn't come yet.
If you already answered a once-a-day survey for the chosen day, the form opens with those answers and says so. Sending again replaces them.
Required and optional
Questions marked optional can be left empty. The button at the bottom counts the required ones still missing ("2 still to answer") and turns into Send when none are left.
Fixing a mistake
- A once-a-day survey: open it again and press Send. The new answers replace the old.
- A session you logged twice, or on the wrong day: open My answers and remove it with the bin icon. It disappears from your stats and from your coach's views.
Reminders
Each survey can remind you on chosen weekdays at a set time, for example every morning at 07:30. The reminder only comes if you haven't answered that survey yet that day. See Inbox, reminders and alerts.
