Athlete Notes – Stop Losing Critical Coaching Observations
"I always forget to write down player observations" – sound familiar? Striveon's athlete observation feature transforms scattered notebooks and forgotten mental notes into systematic documentation that builds comprehensive athlete profiles your entire coaching staff can access.
Capture coaching insights in real-time, share observations instantly across your team, and create detailed player development records that actually get used. Save hours weekly previously spent recreating lost observations and coordinating scattered notes.
From Forgotten Observations to Systematic Player Documentation
Coach Jensen manages a competitive swimming program with 4 assistant coaches evaluating 52 swimmers across multiple stroke specialties and age groups. Previously, each coach kept separate waterproof notebooks, and critical observations were lost when coaches forgot to write them down during intense pool sessions. Important insights about technique improvements disappeared into scattered notes that were "somewhere in the office."
With Striveon's athlete notes system, all coaches now document observations directly during training sessions using poolside tablets. Every note automatically links to specific swimmers and training events, creating comprehensive athlete profiles that show stroke development patterns over time. Assistant coaches can instantly see what the head coach observed about each swimmer's technique progress.
Result: Zero lost observations, and new assistant coaches can immediately understand each swimmer's development history. Coach Jensen saves 5 hours weekly previously spent trying to remember and coordinate scattered observations, while swimmers receive more consistent feedback based on documented progress.
