This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to add athletes to your network on POD1UM. Whether you're a coach looking to manage your athletes more efficiently or an organisation aiming to connect with a broader range of talent, this feature simplifies the process of growing your athletic network on our platform.
Step-by-Step Guide to Adding an Athlete
Navigate to the 'Users' Section:
Log into your POD1UM account.
Select "Athletes" from the menu within the 'Users' section.
Add a New Athlete:
Click on "Add Athlete."
You will have two options: add a single athlete or multiple athletes simultaneously.
Adding a Single Athlete:
Enter the athlete's email address and press Enter.
Complete the required details for the athlete.
If you wish to add the athlete to a team, use the drop-down menu labelled “Team.” You can select an existing team or create a new one.
Bulk Importing Athletes:
For adding multiple athletes at once, use the bulk import option.
Select multiple athletes 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 athletes in bulk.
To import multiple athletes, 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 Athletes to Add
Competitive Athletes: These include individuals actively competing in sports at various levels, from amateur leagues to professional competitions.
Youth Athletes: Young sports enthusiasts who are in the developmental stages of their athletic careers.
Fitness Enthusiasts: Individuals focused on general fitness and well-being, who may benefit from structured training plans.
Rehabilitating Athletes: Those recovering from injuries and looking to get back to their sport.
Aspiring Talents: Emerging athletes who are in the early stages of their sports careers and seeking professional guidance and training.
Bulk Importing Athletes
Using CSV File: If you have a list of athletes in a CSV file, you can easily import them in bulk. This option saves time and is ideal for adding entire teams or groups at once.
Format of CSV File: Ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly, with one email address per line. This format helps the system accurately process and send out invitations to all listed athletes.
Tips for a Smooth Addition
Check Email Accuracy: Double-check the email addresses for correctness to ensure that invitations are sent to the right individuals.
Inform Athletes in Advance: Let athletes know that they will be receiving an invitation to join POD1UM. Prior communication can help increase acceptance rates.
Follow-Up: After sending the invitations, it might be helpful to follow up with the athletes to confirm receipt and address any questions they might have about the platform.
