Team Overview
See every athlete you coach on one page, sorted so the ones who need you come first, and organise them into groups.

- On
- Web, iPhone, Android
Before you start
- You need a Beoflow coach account. TEAM appears in the sidebar under COACHING TOOLS once you coach at least one athlete.
- You see an athlete’s numbers only after they approve your request to share their data.
- The full overview, groups and inviting other coaches are on the web app. The iPhone and Android apps let you switch to an athlete’s data.
Check your team (web)
- Open TEAM in the sidebar.
- Use the group menu to pick All groups or one group.
- Read the three sections:
- Needs coach action: at least one number is well outside the usual range.
- Looks okay: nothing stands out. Same columns, so you can scan quickly.
- Awaiting data access: you’ve invited them, but they haven’t approved yet.
- Select an activity or planned session to open it.
- To change an athlete’s training zones, choose Zones under their name.
What you’ll see
Each row has four columns: Athlete, Biodata, Last completed and Next planned.
- Athlete: their name and the date of their most recent data. The date turns orange when nothing has arrived today.
- Biodata: Recovery, Asleep time, Resting HR (bpm), HRV (ms), Cardio load and Strength load.
- Last completed: their two most recent activities from the last 90 days, or “No previous activity”.
- Next planned: their next two sessions in the coming 45 days, or “No planned session”.
A cell is marked when a value needs attention:
| Measure | Needs action | Worth watching |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery | a low score | a reduced score |
| Asleep time | under 6 h | under 7 h |
| Cardio or strength load | 1.30 or higher | 1.05 or higher, or 0.70 or lower |
| Resting HR and HRV | far from the athlete’s own normal | somewhat off their normal |
Load is this week’s training compared with what the athlete is used to, so 1.00 means “as usual”. Low load never moves an athlete into Needs coach action, because rest weeks and tapers are planned.
Switch to an athlete (iPhone)
- At the top of Today, Calendar, the feed or Lens, tap the name (it shows MY DATA when you’re looking at your own).
- In ATHLETE OVERVIEW, pick a group: Myself, All Athletes or one of your groups.
- Tap an athlete. Every screen now shows their data.
- To go back, open the sheet again and pick Myself.
Switch to an athlete (Android)
- Tap the name at the top of the screen (MYSELF when it’s your own data).
- Pick an athlete. Every screen switches to them until you pick Myself again.
Workout templates and the exercise library always show your own, so that tab says “Not available for another athlete”.
Organise athletes into groups
On the web:
- Open ACCESS, select the heading above the list (All Athletes), then choose Manage groups.
- Type a New group name and choose Create Group. Each group also has Rename and Delete.
- To add an athlete, select them in the list and tick groups under Groups.
On iPhone, open the menu and choose Manage Groups, then CREATE GROUP. Open a group and tap Add Athletes. Swipe left on an athlete to Remove, or on a group to Delete.
You can add anyone you’ve sent a data-sharing request to, even before they accept. Their numbers appear once they do. The coach who created a group is its primary coach (shown as PRIMARY on iPhone). Only the primary coach can delete the group or invite other coaches.
Coach a group with another coach or staff (web)
- In Manage groups, choose Invite Coach next to the group. Or choose Invite on ACCESS and pick A coach or support staff.
- Enter their Coach email.
- Under Co-coach these teams, pick the groups you lead. Under Edit these programs, pick any programs they may edit.
- Choose Send.
They get an email titled “(You) invited you to coach (group) on Beoflow”, with an Open Access button where they accept or decline. Nobody is asked anything until they accept. Then each athlete in the group gets a request to share their data with the new coach, and the new coach sees an athlete only after that athlete approves. Athletes answer one by one and there are no automatic reminders.
Troubleshooting
- “You don’t have permission to view any athletes yet” (iPhone): no athlete has approved your request yet.
- An athlete has no numbers: they haven’t synced today, or haven’t approved yet.
- “You can only add athletes you have sent a data-sharing request to”: invite the athlete first from ACCESS.
- “(email) has no Beoflow coach or support staff account”: ask them to sign up, then invite them again.
- “Only the primary monitor can delete this group”: ask the coach who created the group.
- An athlete added after a co-coach joined isn’t shared with that coach: athletes are asked only when the coach accepts. Invite the athlete for that coach separately.
- An athlete who once declined a coach isn’t asked again when that coach joins a group. The coach can invite them directly.
FAQ
Can I see the overview on my phone? The iPhone and Android apps let you switch into one athlete’s data. The sorted overview is on the web app.
Does the overview match my athlete alerts? Not always. Alerts use their own settings, so an athlete can be flagged in one place and not the other.
Privacy
The overview shows only athletes who have approved sharing their data with you. An athlete can stop sharing at any time in Access, and they disappear from your overview. Another coach you invite sees an athlete’s data only after that athlete approves them.
