There are a number of advantages to using the program as a coach. In fact, the reason that Athletica was developed was due to a need for a better, more streamlined training prescription, and one that took more athlete context into account. How can even the world’s best coach consider every single detail, for every single athlete? We personally found this to be an impossible task. We recognized that we needed to be better.

Therefore, Athletica can also be used in a coaching capacity (coach version in development) to render more advantages for athletes and coaches. Using the Athletica platform for your coaching means that you don’t miss the obvious as a coach. Advantages include:

  1. Optimal training session prescription (Athletica makes recommendations for what appears the athlete may be missing out on – you as a coach have the final say on whether or not the prescription is implemented, as you appreciate the context best),
  2. Training session response monitoring (Athletica makes recommendations for the coach as to when training should be pulled back to allow the athlete to focus on recovery),
  3. The speed at which Athletica can update to make these recommendations for you as a coach is likely faster than your ability to complete these computations (at least this is the case when you have a number of athletes to handle),
  4. As a coach, do you ever get questions from athletes about their training zones and whether you’ve got them right or not? Indeed, these are affected by test session protocol, training status, and other factors. Missing out on these means that the training load calculations are inaccurate. After a few weeks on Athletica, we’ll have grasped a solid handle on these zones, even when they may change subtly. This feature as a coach offers you precision with your training prescription and the monitoring of your athlete’s training loads.
  5. The final and perhaps most important feature for coaches? You know the industry. But with Athletica, there are no more secrets – simply first principle advice. We put it all out there for everyone. Join us, learn, connect with your athletes, and be part of their experience as they reach new heights. There’s nothing more rewarding than that experience as a coach…

Hi guys! How can I add my athletes to my profile? Will I have to make a new profile as a Coach? Will I have to delete my current athlete profile? Does it have a different cost?

Hey @Giuseppe85

You have to create a coach account with a different email address than your athlete account. Then ask your athletes to add you as a coach in their profile settings, or hit “add athlete” in your coaching profile.

Coach account is free, your athletes either pay for their accounts or you pay for them and charge them in your monthly coaching fees.

Hope this helps to get you started :fire:

Let’s see if I understood correctly.
Can I create a free coach account now and I can’t mark any training plans right?
Will my athletes pay their subscription fee and that’s it?
Can I request my coaching fee outside of the ATHLETICA platform?

You can create a free coach account.
You have to have an athlete to assign any training plans.
You can chose how you charge your athletes. Either they pay for their Athletica account, or you can pay for them. Not sure what you mean by the last question, but I think you are asking if you can ask your athletes to pay you outside Athletica, like PayPal etc. And the answer is yes.
