Coach and athlete roles
How coach and athlete accounts work in AtleetIQ – who pays, what each role can do, and how to switch or invite.
Two roles: Coach and Athlete
AtleetIQ has two account types. Your role determines what you see and what you can do.
Coach
- Pays for the platform – Coach plan (or Organisation/Enterprise) covers your subscription. Athletes you add use the app for free.
- Manages the program – Create meets, manage entries and results, add athletes, view team and individual performance, assign workouts.
- Full meet manager – Create meets, set events, manage entries, record results. Works trackside on your phone.
- Dashboard and analytics – Team overview, performance trends, and gamification (XP, badges, leaderboards) for your athletes.
- Invites athletes – Add athletes by email or share a link; they sign up and get full athlete access at no cost.
Coaches can have one or many athletes; pricing is per coach (or per organisation in Organisation/Enterprise), not per athlete.
Athlete
- Free – No payment. Your coach’s subscription covers your access.
- Personal dashboard – Your stats, PRs, assigned workouts, and meet info.
- Gamification – Earn XP, unlock badges, appear on leaderboards, build streaks.
- View-only for program data – You don’t create meets or manage the roster; you see what your coach has set up and your own data.
Athletes are linked to a coach (or organisation). You get the full athlete experience: dashboard, performance, gamification, and workouts.
