One Pro account

Vet, experienced musher or coach: your profile type is only a label. What you can do depends on the service you offer:

  • Plan validation and One-off consult: an opinion. The musher asks you for it, you read what they open to you and you reply.
  • Accompaniment (coaching): you follow an athlete until an end date — you invite them with a link, write their week, read and reply to their feedback, follow their progress, share resources and offer to extend. A verified profile is needed.
  • A request from a musher (from “Experts”) reaches you by email and in Engagements with their kennel's name, theirs, the objective and their note: you know who is coming and for what before accepting. Their dogs, logbook and plan only open afterwards.

The path in five stages

The coach's path in four steps: a dated offer, an invitation link, the week annotated, the feedback. Illustration.

  1. Publish a coaching offer, then invite an athlete with a link: Publishing an offer and inviting.
  2. Write their week: each session, its steps, your templates, copying one week onto another — Writing the week and splitting a session.
  3. Read their feedback and reply after their outings: Reading the feedback, sharing resources, extending.
  4. Follow their progress: what to handle, four numbers, the planned-and-done curve over 8 weeks with the form — Following your athletes.
  5. All of it on the phone too: “My athletes”, the follow-up, the reply to feedback, the week one day at a time and its steps — Following and writing on the phone.

To see your athlete's screen: Being coached.

Showing Coach Pro in 3 minutes

On the home page, under “Start”: See the demo, then one of the two roles. No account, no password, everything is read-only.

  1. “as the coach” (1 min 30). “My athletes”: the Demo Kennel is to handle — a health event, three unanswered feedbacks. Open it: plan kept 79 % (19 outings for 24 planned), the week's load below the planned one, a tired form, an average feedback of 6.9/10, and the planned-and-done curve over 8 weeks. Further down, Mika's feedback: a paw pad “to watch”. Then Plan and instructions: the week written by the coach, the four templates on the left; tap Wednesday to see the instruction and the steps of the 6 × 3′.
  2. “as the musher (athlete)” (1 min 30). Training, the 450 km Sled goal: “Held by your coach — Anja Solberg” under the plan selector, the week's sessions with their instructions and steps, and the long outing cut to 28 km because the team is tired.

What the demo does not do: nothing is saved — “Save”, “Reply” or “Place” are refused, on both sides. The data is rebuilt around today's date: the numbers move a little from one day to the next, that is expected.

What your athlete sees

Before accepting, they read what you will see, what you can do and what you will never see. Then they read your sessions and their steps in their plan, your replies under their feedback, and on their goal “Held by your coach” as soon as you change a session. They remove access whenever they want; you can also end the coaching. Access closes by itself on the end date.

What you will never see

The sessions imported from Strava, your athlete's e-mail address, their other kennels and their payment details. Their dogs' health record is read-only. That is deliberate, and it is not “not yet”.

What it does not do

  • You do not become a member of your athlete's kennel.
  • MushMate takes no payment for you: your fees are settled with your athlete.
  • MushMate does not rebalance a plan you hold, and does not read your instruction in its calculations.
  • Offline, nothing is written: the website and the phone read and write online.
