Home in the mobile app

What it is

Home is the first tab in the app. It answers one question: what do I do today? It has a big button to start today's workout, your streak, your week, what your coach sent you, and shortcuts to your highlight reel, recruiting and training plans. (Inside the app this screen is called stats, which is why it can look like a numbers page. It is not. The web Progress page, with charts and the workout calendar, is a different thing and has no app version.)

How to use it

  1. Open the Home tab. At the top you see your photo, your first name, a green check once you have checked in today, and your streak with your longest streak.
  2. Tap Start today's workout. The line under it tells you whether you are checked in, have work waiting, or just need to finish the workout to keep your streak.
  3. If you have not checked in and you still have a rest day this week, a Rest day button appears. Tapping it logs a rest day. It is the only check-in you make from Home. Everything else is recorded when you finish a workout.
  4. Read This week. Tap a day to see what you finished and what is still on the list for it. Use the arrows to go back through earlier weeks.
  5. Use the Highlight reel card to record or upload a clip, or to open My reels. See the highlight reels card.
  6. If you are on a team, a team card shows the team and who coaches you. Coaches your family hired privately are shown in their own block.
  7. Under For you you find work from your coach: up to 3 assignments (with a count of how many more), a Done list you can open, up to 3 lessons with unread ones first and a link to all lessons, and a Messages row for your latest conversation.
  8. Below that are your recruiting progress and a Training plans row.
  9. Pull down to refresh everything.

Rules and limits

  • Only athletes have a Home. You need a finished athlete profile, or it cannot load your streak and week.
  • The Rest day button shows only while you are not checked in today and a rest day is still available that week.
  • A Pick your coach card appears until you have chosen the voice coach for your workouts, either here or in Profile.
  • Notifications are asked for once you are linked to a coach, meaning a message or assigned work exists, if you have never answered.
  • The Messages row opens the conversation if you have only one, otherwise your Messages list. If you have no coach conversation but a parent is linked, it shows your parent instead.
  • A notification nudge and the latest coach alert can appear between the team card and For you.
  • Unread coach messages and pending requests to meet from college coaches show as a badge on the Home tab, because Messages is reached from Home.

Edge cases

  • The web dashboard lets you rearrange cards and turn on Focus mode. The app does not. See the dashboard card.
  • The web Progress page shows weekly bars, plan progress and a skill chart. The app has none of these. It shows your streak and your week.
  • The week runs Monday to Sunday and the calendar follows UTC dates, so an evening check-in in the US can land on the next day.
  • If the app cannot load your numbers it shows an empty Home rather than an error. Pull down to try again.
