Managing athletes
Who can use this — all coaches. Assistant coaches see and manage only the athletes assigned to them; head coaches see and manage every athlete in the company. Changing an athlete’s plan type is head coaches only.
The Athletes page lists the people you coach. Athletes are imported automatically when you connect TrainingPeaks.
The athletes list
Each athlete shows their name, assigned coach, status, and last activity. To find someone quickly you can:
- Filter by status — All, Active, or Deactivated.
- Filter by coach — all coaches, a specific coach, or unassigned athletes.
- Search by name or email.
Select an athlete to open their detail page.
Athlete status
Athletes are Active or Deactivated. Deactivating an athlete stops their analysis and feedback without deleting their history; you can reactivate them at any time. You can also set an auto-deactivate date so an athlete is paused automatically — useful at the end of a training block or season. When an athlete’s status changes, their coach is notified.
How workouts get reviewed
Each athlete has a feedback mode that decides what happens to new analyses:
- Review mode — every analysis waits in your dashboard for you to approve.
- Auto-approve mode — well-scored sessions are approved and published automatically.
Changing the mode applies to new reports only; reports already created keep the mode they had.
Training type and plan type
- Training type classifies an athlete’s typical work (for example base, threshold, or VO2 max). It’s used to pick the right custom AI feedback when feedback is written.
- Plan type marks whether the athlete is on a custom plan or an off-the-shelf plan, which is also used for compliance alerts.
Head coaches only can change an athlete’s plan type. Assistant coaches can see it but not edit it.
Athlete progress
The athlete detail page also shows the bigger picture:
- A weekly summary — a rolling table of weekly training load, broken down by sport.
- A weekly absorption view for the current week, summarizing how the athlete is taking on their training load.
These help you spot trends without opening each workout one by one.
