Coach Guide

🧭The coach console, tab by tab

Coach access is scoped to your assigned team(s) — you'll only ever see your own players, and account management for players and parents stays with them.

👥Building your roster

1. 1
   Step 1: Invite your players

   From the Roster tab, send email invites. Players create their own accounts; their parents get linked as guardians (up to four per athlete) so every family stays in the loop automatically.
2. 2
   Step 2: Fill in the hockey details

   Positions and jersey numbers make the roster, leaderboard, and record feed read like a real team sheet.
3. 3
   Step 3: Watch the dashboard come alive

   As players train, the Overview and Team stats tabs fill in — including who hasn't trained lately, so you know who needs a nudge at practice.

🏋️Creating exercises (and wiring up Sonar)

The Exercises tab is your library. Each exercise gets a name, category, description, and optionally a demo video and a play-along video athletes can train to. The wizard walks you through it.

Making an exercise camera-verified

Enable Sonar on an exercise and the camera counts athletes' reps automatically (see the Sonar guide for how it works and why it's private). You choose:

• The movement — jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, lunges, high jumps, squat holds, planks, or jump rope.
• Reps or time — count to a target (e.g. 20 squats), count everything within a time box (e.g. 60 seconds of jumping jacks), or hold a position (e.g. a 45-second plank).
• Strictness — strict / normal / lenient. Lenient forgives partial returns and shakier tracking — usually right for younger age groups; strict demands full, clean reps.

📋Programs & the weekly plan

1. 1
   Step 1: Bundle exercises into programs

   A program is a complete workout: warm-up to finisher, in order. Keep them short enough to finish on a school night — consistency beats volume.
2. 2
   Step 2: Lay out the week

   The weekly plan puts programs on days: drag programs onto specific weekdays, or set a times-per-week target and let the app spread them out. Include rest programs — recovery days count toward streaks, so athletes aren't punished for resting.
3. 3
   Step 3: Players see it as 'Today'

   Each athlete's Today tab shows exactly what you scheduled. They must catch up on this week's assigned program(s) — today's plus any missed days, resetting each Sunday — before other programs unlock for bonus training. So your plan is always the main course, never skipped for dessert.

📊Metrics, verified results & team records

The Metrics tab is for what you measure at practice with a stopwatch and a tape: sprint times, jump distances, agility drills. Coach-entered results are record-eligible — alongside Sonar-verified reps, they're the only numbers that can set personal and team records. (Athlete-typed numbers never are.)

• New personal records automatically celebrate the athlete with a chest; a new team record is an Epic-chest, team-feed moment.
• The Team stats tab ranks the roster by points — workouts, minutes, and streaks — and the weekly digest email spotlights the last 7 days, where consistency wins. Scoring details: Points, Streaks & Leaderboards.

🎮Using the game layer like a coach

• Talk streaks at practice. "Who's got the longest flame?" costs nothing and keeps the app top-of-mind between sessions.
• Nudge streak goals. A team-wide "everyone set a 7-day goal this week" challenge converts practice enthusiasm into home training.
• Let the weekly-plan chest work for you. Athletes who finish your whole week earn its bonus chest automatically — mention it at practice and watch completion rates climb.
• Schedule rest honestly. Athletes keep streaks by completing rest days, so build them in — the system is designed to make recovery guilt-free, and rest programs are never locked behind catch-up work.
• Watch the quiet signals. The Overview shows who's stopped training; a friendly word at practice beats any automated reminder.
