This guide will walk you through the process of setting up and completing your coach profile. Depending on how you joined the platform, some initial information might already be filled in. If you joined directly through Podium, you were likely prompted to enter your name, time zone, and unit preference. If you were invited by a coach, you'll need to navigate to the correct section to update these details independently.

Initial Setup (If Needed):

Setting Up Your Coach Profile:

Save Changes: Once you've entered this information, click "Save."

Select a high-quality and relevant cover image that best represents you and your training philosophy. This image will be displayed on your webpage and app page, so choose one that leaves a positive and lasting impression.

Proceed to the "Testimonials" segment on your profile page. Within this section, you have the opportunity to showcase testimonials from athletes and coaches you've collaborated with. These testimonials play a vital role in establishing trust among potential clients, giving them confidence in the value of your content and services.

To maximise the impact of your testimonials, we advise uploading high-quality profile images for each one and ensuring that all images are appropriately cropped. A visually appealing presentation enhances the credibility of the testimonials and reinforces your expertise.

Proceed to the "Experience" segment on your profile editing page. Within this section, you can highlight the organisations or teams you are presently associated with or have had the privilege of working with in the past. Sharing your professional affiliations enriches your profile and enhances your credibility as a top-tier professional.

We suggest setting a high-quality crest or logo for each organisation or team entry. Ensure that the images are appropriately cropped to maintain a clean and professional look.

Proceed to the "Certifications" area of your profile. Here, you can showcase your professional qualifications, industry-recognised certifications, and any relevant training you have completed.

Adding certifications helps demonstrate your expertise and commitment to professional growth. Be sure to include key details such as the certification title, issuing organisation, date of completion, and, if applicable, an expiration date.

[Pro feature] Navigate to the 'Collaborators' tab to further enhance your profile. Adding collaborators allows you to partner with your network of connections to promote your content or services. Collaborators may be athletes, coaches, organisations, or external collaborators.

When adding a collaborator, begin by selecting the appropriate type from the available options: athlete, coach, organisation, or external collaborator. Depending on the type selected, you will either choose from a drop-down menu (for athletes, coaches, or organisations) or manually provide the name for external collaborators. Additionally, for external collaborators, you have the option to include a link that will direct users to a specific destination when they click on the collaborator's profile image n the website or app.

If a profile image is not automatically added, you can upload your own image. To make a strong impression, we recommend using a high-quality image and cropping it optimally to maintain a professional appearance.

Once you have provided the necessary information, click 'Save' to complete the process. The collaborator is now successfully added and available for selection when publishing a listing. This feature enables you to showcase your valuable connections and affiliations, establishing further credibility among users on the platform.

Your availability plays a crucial role in determining how athletes can access your services. If you are available one-on-one coaching, please specify your availability & set an appropriate monthly fee.

Remember, we understand that navigating the platform may present challenges at times. If you require any assistance with any of the above steps, our dedicated team is always delighted to lend a helping hand.

At Pod1um, we are committed to empowering athletes and professionals alike, and our support team is here to ensure you make the most out of your profile and thrive on our platform.
