This guide will walk you through the simple process of adding coaches from your network to the POD1UM platform. Whether you are a coach looking to expand your team, an organisation seeking to collaborate with more professionals, or simply know other professionals who you feel would benefit from the platform, this feature makes it easy to bring valued members into the POD1UM community.
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Coach
Navigate to the 'Users' Section:
Log into your POD1UM account.
Select "Coaches" from the menu within the 'Users' section.
Add a New Coach:
Click on "Add Coach."
You will have two options: add a single coach or multiple coaches simultaneously.
Adding a Single Coach:
Enter the coach's email address and press Enter.
Complete the required details for the coach.
If you wish to add the coach to a team, use the drop-down menu labelled “Team.” You can select an existing team or create a new one.
Bulk Importing Coaches:
For adding multiple coaches at once, use the bulk import option.
Select multiple coaches by checking the boxes next to their names.
Assign them to a team by selecting from the “Team” drop-down menu.
Provide Email Addresses or Import a CSV File:
You can either enter individual email addresses manually or import a list of coaches in bulk.
To import multiple coaches, use the 'Import CSV' option and upload a file containing the email addresses. This is particularly efficient for adding large groups or entire teams.
Examples of Coaches to Add
High-Performance Coaches: These are coaches who specialise in training elite athletes. For example, a strength and conditioning coach who has worked with professional sports teams.
Skills Development Coaches: These coaches focus on developing specific skills in athletes. For example, a basketball coach specialising in shooting techniques or a soccer coach focusing on dribbling skills.
Youth and Amateur Coaches: If you are involved with youth sports or amateur leagues, adding coaches who specialise in these areas can be beneficial. They often have expertise in foundational skills and athlete development.
Specialised Fitness Trainers: These can include personal trainers, yoga instructors, or Pilates coaches who provide specialised fitness training.
Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Experts: Coaches with a background in injury rehabilitation and physiotherapy are invaluable, especially for recovery and preventive training programs.
Tips for a Smooth Addition
Verify Email Addresses: Double-check the email addresses for accuracy to ensure the invitations reach the intended recipients.
Communicate with Your Coaches: Let the coaches know in advance that they will be receiving an invitation to join POD1UM. This heads-up can increase the likelihood of them accepting the invitation.
Follow-Up: After sending out the invitations, consider following up with your coaches to confirm they've received the invitation and assist with any questions about the platform.
By following these simple steps, you can effortlessly expand your coaching network on POD1UM, further enhancing the collaborative and comprehensive training experience offered.
