Coach groups request

Hi @david
We would really like to see an option to have a “head coach” with several coaches attached.
Head coach would be able to switch view between coaches and see their respective athletes.
This is something available on TrainingPeaks, Final Surge and V.O2.

Is this realistic in the future? Let me know if i can ellaborate.

Thanks!

Yes I have been thinking about how to do that sort of thing. One way to do it would be to expand the existing groups to have a “Coach” role.

  • You put your athletes and their coaches in separate groups
  • Head coach is admin for all the groups and also a coach in each
  • A coach in a group has “Coach” access to all of the athletes in the group. Then you don’t have to do the follow request thing
  • Athletes would need to agree to join the group
  • Easy selection between groups on the athletes page. This would also solve some scaling issues with people following large numbers of athletes.

Anyway need to think about it more.
