Coaching

Here you configure coaching settings if you are a coach or if you work with a coach.

1. My Coaches

You have the list of coaches who have access to your data.
For each one you have:
  • a button to "revoke" them: they will no longer see you in their athlete list.
  • different configuration switches
With the "Request a coach" button, you can also generate a link to share later (by email, messaging, ...) which allows you to ask a coach to coach you.
This is just an alternative to them sending you their coach link (e.g.: in a large group, it's easier for everyone to note the coach's email address than the reverse). The comment you can add is only for you (to remember who the link is intended for).

2. Athletes I Coach

Here you have your "coach link": if you send this link to people (by email, messaging, ...), if they click on it, they will be able to accept you as a coach.
Below, you have your athlete list, very similar to the coach list for an athlete!
  • These links are dedicated to people who have already created their Slek account. They must be opened in a browser where you are already authenticated. If you receive a link via a social network messaging on your phone (like Instagram, Snapchat, ...), you should know that they have their own integrated web browser (to avoid losing you too easily). So if you're already logged into Chrome or Safari, and you open the link from Instagram messaging, it will open in the Instagram browser (where you're not authenticated).
  • Why does the coach have a link and the athlete must generate it each time? Simply because the athlete's link gives access to their data, so we prefer it to be even more secure. And then, it's common for a coach to want to send an email with their link to all their athletes... the reverse is not common.
