Coaching Platform

Welcome to the myWindsock Coaching Platform. We’re here to help you assist your athletes to their goals by understanding the environment they are performing in.

From your Coaching Platfrom, you can quickly move between athlete’s, create and edit Virtual Riders and add forecasts to an athlete’s Planner.

Before you start, find out more about what myWindsock will do for your athletes.

Quick Start

1. Create a new Coaching Platform

Enter your details here. Your Coaching Platform can now be accessed from the main menu.

Our example “myWindsock Supported” coaching platform is listed in the main menu.

2. Add an Athlete

To add a new athlete to your Platform you will need to know the email address the athlete signed up to myWindsock with. Under the athlete box, click the ‘Invite Athlete’ link. You will need to wait for their name to appear with a Green Tick before you continue.

3. View Course as Athlete

From any forecast you will now have the ability to do the following.

  • Add/edit Virtual Rider Profiles
  • Create intervals
  • Set course settings
  • Add course to Athlete’s Planner

To load an athlete’s data, from within a course forecast access the main menu. Select the athlete from your list of athletes.

If the athlete’s data has been succesfully loading you will see an orange banner at the bottom of the screen with the live athletes name.
All the actions you now take, including which profile is active for the course, will be relayed to the athlete when they view the course.

4. Add forecast to Athlete’s Planner

So that an athlete can quickly access the course forecast, it is recommended to add the forecast to the athlete’s Planner. Athlete Planners are useful to save upcoming forecasts.

After a forecast has been added to the Planner it can be viewed from 7 days prior to the forecast. The athlete can access their Planner from the myWindsock Dashboard.

Athlete’s Planner

You can also view an athlete’s Planner from your Coaching Platform. Simply click on the name of an Athlete to reveal their Planner.
