The coaching app that makes coach-athlete communication simpler

Training

Communicating well with your athletes is essential if you want them to perform better without getting injured. Connected watches and performance analysis software have made your work as a coach much richer.

Those physiological numbers, valuable as they are, still need subjective data alongside them before you can offer the right workout at the right moment.

At Slek we are convinced that all this data works together. So we set about building an app that makes it easy for athletes to record how they feel while it is still fresh, and easy for coaches to find, with no risk of missing anything.

Software that brings coach and athlete messages together

An email here, an Excel file there, a few texts lying around. Multiply that by twenty athletes and it quickly becomes a headache. You can use Slek to bring all those written exchanges into one place and get a broader view of what each of your athletes has told you. Here is how it works.

Feedback on workouts

If you want your athletes to give their feelings and comments after every workout, that works too. The athlete can turn on a notification telling them a new workout is waiting for a comment.

You can of course respond to what they write: ask for detail, or put another question to them.

A checkup in the morning and a debrief in the evening

Every morning and every evening, your athletes answer a set of items you have agreed on together (general form, quality of nutrition, muscular freshness, and so on). Here again they can set up notifications to keep the mental load down.

The questionnaire after each workout, the morning one and the evening one are all configurable, with the data that matters to you.

A regular review

Used to asking your athletes for a weekly report? In Slek you place a “Review” workout and guide your athletes through a set of questions. No more chasing the stragglers: the app does it for you, reminding the scatterbrained and the overloaded that the review is still waiting.

Instructions that are always up to date

You have just changed the content of a workout at the last minute and you want to let an athlete know? Slek does it for you: the athlete automatically receives a notification saying that the workout has been modified. You can stay focused on what matters.

An overview of the whole week’s exchanges

You remember that one of your athletes showed signs of fatigue in a comment on a workout, and you would like to read that message again? Nothing simpler: Slek shows you an overview of the coach-athlete exchanges for each week.

Unlike a conversation on WhatsApp, the comments stay in the context of the training microcycle.

Coaching a professional team or a group of committed amateurs, with Slek you no longer juggle inboxes and messaging apps. Available on mobile and on desktop, the app keeps you constantly in touch with your athletes and helps them progress.

With Slek you save time, you carry less mental load, and your athletes perform better.

So, ready to change your tools and concentrate on the only thing that really counts: your athletes getting better?
