Creating performance tests and test batteries as a coach

November 1, 2013 - Posted by

This tutorial shows how coaches can create performance tests and test batteries for their clubs in Sportlyzer coaching software. If you are an athlete, see how to create private performance tests for yourself.

Note that when you are a coach but create a performance test as an athlete, then this test will only be shown in your private list of tests. It will not be shared in your club’s tests. But if you create a test for your club as a coach, it will also be seen in your private list of tests.

 

Creating a performance test

1. Go to your ‘Coaching’ view and click on ‘Tests’.

2. Click on ‘Club’s tests’ to view all tests created.

3. Click on ‘Create test’ to create a new test.
