• 2. Coaches
• 2.1 How can I find a coach?


• Once your account is created, you may find and hire any coach from all over the world using the Sportovia app or www.sportovia.com (go to the "Coaches" tab). Athletes may search for a coach by: name, location (city or country), discipline, spoken language or specialization. You can also contact any coach to get know them better before hiring.
• 

• 2.2 Hiring procedure


• Athletes (or team owners) can send a query to a coach they would like to hire. Once the query is sent, the coach can check the athlete's profile, contact them, accept/reject the cooperation. One athlete/team owner can send more queries to one coach if needed.


• Basicly, the hiring procedure looks like this:


• For individual athletes:
• - Athlete finds the coach they want to hire and sends a query. The athlete chooses the available option of cooperation (the prices are set by each coach individually) and start date (3-30 days from now)
• 
• - Coach accepts the query (you can see the status of the cooperation under "Coaches" – "Coach_name" – "Cooperation" for Android/iOS or under "Cooperation history" for Windows Phone/online)
• 
• - Athlete pays for the cooperation using PayPal
• - Once the payment is done, the cooperation begins (from the day selected by the athlete as the start date). The coach will get access to the athlete's Calendar (assigning single workouts), Metrics, Stats and will be able to assign training plans (which do not exceed the duration of the cooperation).
• - The athlete may rate the cooperation and send the opinion about the coach (preferably – when the cooperation is to finish).
• 


• For teams:
• - The team owner finds the coach they want to hire and sends a query. The team owner chooses the available option of cooperation (the coach sets the prices for different sizes of the team) and start date (3-30 days from now). The cooperation with the team lasts always one month.
• - Coach accepts the query (you can see the status of the cooperation under "Teams" – "Team_name" – "Cooperation" for Android/iOS or under "Cooperation history" for Windows Phone/online)
• - The team owner pays for the cooperation using PayPal
• - Once the payment is done, the cooperation begins (from the day selected by the team owner as the start date). The coach will get access to the Calendar (assigning single workouts), Metrics, Stats and will be able to assign training plans (which do not exceed the duration of the cooperation) individually to each member of the team.
• - The team owner may rate the cooperation and send the opinion about the coach (preferably – when the cooperation is to finish).

• 2.3 Why can't I send a query to a coach?


• If you go to "Coches", find a coach you like, enter their profile but still cannot see the "Hire" option, it means that the coach does not allow new cooperation with you. The coach may change their mind at any moment, so you can always try contacting them to find out what the reason is.

• At any time, you can plan your workouts using the "Calendar" tab.

To do so, go to "+ Workout" in your Calendar (or to a workout which was planned), set the details you wish (eg date, time, discipline, name, workout goals) and choose "Manual entry". Once you fill the results you know, you can also rate and comment your training.

The more precise you do that, the better matched suggestions of meals you will receive.
•

• 5. Teams
• 5.1 Creating new team

• 


• Once the team is created, any athlete and coach can find and apply to join your team. Applying users can only see the team profile and team members list.

• 5.2 Managing members (accepting/removing them)


• Only the team owner can accept applying members and remove the current ones from the team. It can be done under the "Members" tab.
• 


• Also, the team owner is the only one to disband the team.

• 5.3 Communication within the team


• The team owner, current members and team coaches may send posts and comments to the team timeline. These messages will be seen by all the mentioned ones but not, for example, by applying users.
• 


• If you want to send a private message, you can easily do this from the members list. Later, you can continue your conversation under the "Messages" tab.

• 5.4 Hiring a coach for the whole team


• The team owner may find and hire a coach for the whole team (using the Sportovia app or online). To do that, go to the "Coaches" tab. When sending your query, choose the starting date, then the option starting with "Team" and the proper number of athletes that the trainer is supposed to coach (eg "Team 5-10"). The duration of the cooperation between the team and the coach is always 1 month.


• Once the cooperation is accepted and paid for, the coach will have the access to all the athletes, who are the members of the team. Nevertheless, the coach should not interfere in the training plans of higher number of athletes than declared.
