Coaching with dataIntermediate6 min read

Building and organizing your roster

Set up your team, bring athletes on board with their consent, and keep the board clean as your squad grows. A walk through how the roster actually works.

Your roster is the board every other feature reads from. Getting athletes on it cleanly, with the right data-sharing in place, is the first job for any coach.

Adding athletes

There are two ways an athlete joins. You can invite them by email, or they can request to join your team. If you have already invited someone and they request to join with the same email, the two match and they are enrolled automatically, no extra approval needed. Otherwise a join request lands with you to approve or decline.

Consent comes first. An athlete cannot join a team until they have set their data-sharing preferences. That consent step is built into onboarding, so by the time they appear on your board you already know what they have agreed to share.

What athletes share

Sharing is per category, and the athlete controls it. There are seven categories: recovery, sleep, strain, workout, alerts, injury, and fitness. Most default to shared, but injury and fitness are opt-in, so they start off private until the athlete turns them on. The roster shows a private indicator wherever an athlete has restricted a category, so you always know what you are and are not seeing.

Organizing the board

Each athlete carries a position, a squad, a jersey number, and an availability status (such as available, injured, or rested). The roster table shows their link status, last sync, current alerts, and core metrics (recovery, sleep, HRV, RHR, strain) in sortable columns you can toggle on or off to fit how you work.

Caps and removals

  • A trial coach can manage up to 5 athletes. Paid plans scale the cap with your subscription.
  • On a shared team, the effective cap is the highest cap among its coaches, so one paying coach lifts the whole team.
  • Removing an athlete takes them off your board but keeps their account and history intact. Nothing is destroyed; they can rejoin later.
