Fill in your bio on your profile page so people know what coaching you do, languages you coach in, link to your website and so on and let me know. I am not sure what the “signal to noise” ratio is like re incoming questions etc…

I had just over 150 people ask me questions over the last 2.75 years. There are busy days/periods and then quiet periods with no contact. I’ve worked with less than 20 of the total queries received, some for a few months and some from day 1.

Hi @david

I’ve updated my profile. My intent is to be a coach and sounding board to s small grass roots group of gravel racers at Fritterzcycling. This will allow me to continue having access to their data.

Cheers…Stu

Anyone can coach other athletes on Intervals.icu. You just have to ask to coach them in the chat and they need to accept. Or they need to do “Add Coach” on the /athletes page and you need to accept.

If you want to show up in the “Ask a Coach” box on the calendar page visible to everyone then ask me. I am not sure what the questions answered to business ratio is like for the ask a coach box but very few coaches have asked to be removed from the list.

Thanks David, I don’t necessarily need to be on the list - I’m on a journey of learning and probably not all that qualified to field questions from those outside my circle. Continuing to have access in light of the Strava API fiasco is the main concern at the moment.

So far I am impressed with the software!  
I was redirected here from [this](https://forum.intervals.icu/t/strava-visibility-update-coaching-is-ok/80331/4) post.

I coach junior rowers exceeding competition rowing for our local club, we were in the process of starting to use intervals.icu. We need Strava as a bridge between the Concept2Log and intervals.icu.

We connected all rowers and set me up as their coach, however I am not able to see their activities yet, only the warning icon with the text that strava data is not available. Is there something that I am missing?

Use [Rowsandall.com](http://Rowsandall.com) as the bridge, rather than Strava. Contact me if you need more information.

You are only following your athletes. They need to make you a coach to see Strava stuff. Each athlete needs to click your name in their followers list and change permission to “Coach”.

Otherwise as Sander says use Rowsandall to get data instead of Strava.
