A weekly readiness workflow
A simple, repeatable routine for checking and acting on your team's data through the week, so readiness drives decisions instead of sitting in a dashboard.
Data only helps if it is part of a routine. This is a light weekly rhythm built around a typical match week. Shift the days to fit your schedule; the shape is what matters.
The week
- Start of week: scan the roster. Triage red (Protect) first, then yellow (Monitor). Decide who needs a modified plan before the first hard session.
- Mid week: read the alert digest. Look for HRV drifting down or sleep debt stacking up while load climbs. Adjust the heavy days for anyone trending the wrong way.
- Pre-match: check who is Ready. Use the readiness colours to confirm selection and flag anyone you are carrying.
- Match day: note that high strain is being logged. Expect it; the question is what happens next.
- Post-match: watch next-day recovery. A big strain followed by a poor recovery is normal once; a pattern of it is a load problem.
Weekly load check
Once a week, glance at each athlete's acute-to-chronic workload ratio (covered in Managing load across a season). Keeping the squad inside the 0.8 to 1.3 sweet spot is the single most effective injury-prevention habit you can build into this routine.
Use Coachy to move faster
When you are short on time, ask Coachy to rank the team by recovery or surface the current alerts. It does the triage scan for you so you can spend your minutes on the athletes who actually need them.
