First steps for a coach

First steps for a coach

ForCoachesClub admins

Your club admin invites you as a coach and adds you to your team. These steps get the team answering surveys and the board filling up.

  1. 1

    Accept the invitation

    Open the link, choose a password and sign in. The link works once and for 7 days.

  2. 2

    Check the team switcher

    At the top of the menu, Team picks the team you are looking at. Every team view (board, charts, week, season, load ratio, roster) follows it. If your team is missing, ask your admin to add you as its coach.

  3. 3

    Add the ready-made surveys

    Open Surveys. A new team gets a banner with Morning check-in and Session survey. Add both. They come with their questions, their reminders and the keys the load views need.

  4. 4

    Invite your players

    Open Roster and press Invite. Give each player's name and email, and their position and number if you like. Positions split the charts; numbers help the GPS import find the right player.

  5. 5

    Set the season start

    At the bottom of the roster, Season starts on is the day the season view counts weeks from.

  6. 6

    Read the board in the morning

    Board shows who has answered, the team averages and who needs attention. See The team board.

The ready-made surveys

Surveys Try it — nothing is saved

Start FC Harjuranta with the ready-made surveys

The morning check-in and the session survey feed the load and wellness views. You can edit their questions afterwards.

    No surveys on the team yet.

    Add both. Each lands in the list with its questions and its reminder already set.

    The two surveys are made for each other:

    • Morning check-in: sleep hours, sleep quality, readiness and aches. One answer a day; answering again replaces it. Reminder every day at 07:30.
    • Session survey: session type, duration, session load (RPE) and recovery before the session. One answer per session. Reminder Monday to Saturday at 20:00.

    You can reword questions, add your own and change the reminders afterwards. Keep the question keys as they are: the board, the charts and the load ratio read the answers by key. See Building surveys.

    The ready-made surveys are created in the club's language, not yours. In a Finnish club they come in Finnish even if you use the app in English. You can rename them.

    Inviting players

    • A coach can invite players to the teams they coach. Coaches and staff are invited by an admin.
    • After you press Send invitation, the dialog shows the link. If the club's setup does not send email, it says so: copy the link and give it to the player yourself.
    • The player shows as Invited on the roster until they accept. Reminders start once they have signed in for the first time.
