4 steps to structure and automate your outline coaching

Many sports coaches spend a considerable amount of time managing the organization of their clients and the structuring of their training programs. Without a clear, automated approach, they can quickly find themselves overwhelmed, impacting on their efficiency and their ability to follow their customers over the long term.

A well-designed Outline Coach allows you to :

• Improve efficiency by optimizing planning.
• Improve customer follow-up and boost motivation.
• Automate certain tasks to focus on coaching.

In this article, we propose a 4-step plan to structure your coaching effectively and maximize your impact.

Step 1 - Define each customer's objectives and needs

Why?

Effective coaching always begins with a precise analysis of the customer's objectives. All too often, customers have vague expectations, making it difficult for them to make progress. Using the SMART method helps to establish clear, achievable goals.

What to do?

• Identify underlying motivations: weight loss, mass gain, sports performance...
• Ask strategic questions: training frequency, level of motivation, past experience.
• Create a personalized action plan: adapt the program to the customer's constraints and expectations.
• Use an initial questionnaire to collect all essential data.
• Set regular evaluation points to adjust the plan according to progress.

Step 2 - Building a coherent training structure

A poorly structured program leads to stagnation and loss of motivation on the part of the customer. Effective planning ensures visible results and encourages perseverance.

How do you structure an effective program?

Split vs Full Body: which format to choose?

• The Full Body which is ideal for beginners and those with little time.
• Split (Up/Down, Push/Pull/Legs), which is suitable for advanced practitioners.

Example of a weekly model

- Monday: strength and hypertrophy, with a focus on muscle development.

- Tuesday: cardio and mobility, to improve endurance and facilitate recovery.

- Wednesday: endurance and mobility training, ideal for strengthening the cardiovascular system and flexibility.

- Thursday: HIIT and explosivity session, to work on power and boost metabolism.

- Friday: targeted weight training, adapted to specific muscle strengthening.

- Saturday: active recovery with yoga, stretching and light exercise.

- Sunday: a day of rest, essential for complete and optimal recovery.

‍

• Adjust according to results :
  • Analyze customer feedback.
  • Modify the program as required.
  • Incorporate progression exercises to avoid stagnation.

Step 3 - Optimize Customer Follow-up and Engagement

Why?

Good follow-up ensures better customer retention and optimizes performance.

How do you follow up a customer effectively?

• Set up follow-up sheets: performance trends, feedback.
• Plan monthly reviews to adjust the program.
• Adopt a motivational approach: personalized reminders, encouragement.
• Integrate intermediate challenges and objectives to maintain commitment.
• Encourage customers via video messages or motivational groups.

How to save time?

• Use an application like AZEOO to centralize data.
• Automate the sending of training plans and session reminders.
• Create a digital customer space where customers can access their program and results in real time.

Step 4 - Automate and Digitize Coaching Management

Why?

Coaches often spend too much time on administrative management, to the detriment of their added value: coaching.

How to optimize management?

• Replace Excel and paper notes with a digital solution.
• Use AZEOO to centralize :
  • Customer management.
  • Automated reminders.
  • Record sessions and track progress.
• Save up to 5 hours/week by automating repetitive processes.
