We all know the scenario. You spend your time meticulously planning the perfect build, carefully managing every detail of your athlete’s Chronic Training Load (CTL), Acute Training Load (ATL), and Training Stress Balance (TSB).
But when your athlete logs in, what do they see? Too often, the science behind your plan—the very metrics you use to ensure their success—just looks like a set of confusing numbers.
What if your athletes understood those numbers? What if they could clearly see why the training is structured the way it is and value the science behind it?
From Confusing Numbers to Clear Purpose
We believe that when athletes understand the “why,” they transform. They become more engaged, more compliant, and more bought-in to the process. And as a coach, you know exactly what that leads to: stronger, longer-lasting coach-athlete relationships and, ultimately, better results.
That’s why we are so excited to roll out a major update to the Athlete Home. We’ve distilled key WKO data — like Training Readiness and Ramp Rates — into ranges so that your athletes can more intuitively understand the impact of their training.
This new experience is designed to do one crucial thing: demystify the PMC and make these values a clear, engaging, and educational part of your athlete’s journey.
What This Update Means For You
This update acts as your silent partner, reinforcing your coaching philosophy 24/7.
- Accessible WKO Power: Key concepts like Training Readiness and Ramp Rates, drawn directly from the power of WKO (the gold standard in data analysis), are now presented in an intuitive, easy-to-understand format. It’s high-level science, made simple for your athletes.
- Your Voice, Amplified: The language throughout the new Athlete Home is encouraging and designed to support your coaching, never to be in opposition. Think of it as a 24/7 reinforcement of your expert guidance.
- No More Confusion: Your athletes will see their core training data (like CTL) in a way that’s intuitive, not intimidating. They’ll finally connect the “build” you’ve talked about with a rising line on a graph.
- Built-in Education: The new design helps athletes grasp why they feel fatigued when their ATL is high and why tapering (and a rising TSB) is critical for race-day success.
- Deeper Buy-In: When an athlete sees the “why” behind the “what,” trust in the plan skyrockets. This means less questioning and more “coach, I get it.”
We’re confident this new Athlete Home will become one of your biggest allies, helping you educate your athletes, build their confidence, and strengthen the core of your coaching business.
