Sending one-click email reminders between athletes and coaches to plan or log training

August 10, 2012 - Posted by

Our ever ongoing conversation with coaches brought our attention to the topic that the core problem of training data management is BAD MEMORY – people simply forget to log or plan their training in time. Therefore, Sportlyzer’s task is not to only provide sports teams with a platform for training data management, but also to help them not to forget their daily duties around it.

Remind to log training (for coaches)

Coaches have their Dashboard with bird’s eye view of their athletes’ recent training. As you can see on the image below, we added there “Bell” buttons for sending one-click email reminders.

The email sent looks like this: Subject line: Coach John Smith requested you to log your workouts. Message: Hi Anny, Coach John Smith noticed that you haven’t logged your workouts and sent you a reminder! Don’t keep your coach waiting – log your workouts now: www.sportlyzer.com

Remind to update the plan (for athletes)

Athletes were not forgotten and we gave them a button to send reminders to coaches. The button is situated right above the training log. A click on it opens a dropdown menu with the names of your coaches and another click on a coach’s name sends him/her an email reminding to update your training plan.

The email sent looks like this: Subject line: Athlete Anny Manny has requested you to update the training plan. Message: Hi Coach John, Anny Manny noticed that his/her training plan needs an update and sent you a reminder! Help him/her out: www.sportlyzer.com

Who could have imagined that pushing on each other’s “bell”(y) buttons could improve training data management? ;)
Enjoy and remember to send us your ideas what else we could do to provide you a better service!
