ORCA Coach tour.

The Coach app is organized around six main sections in the left sidebar:

• Dashboard - live session activity, alerts, and today's schedule across the whole roster.
• Roster - every athlete, grouped and searchable.
• Programming - templates, programs, and the session assignment board.
• Testing - campaign builder for 1RM prediction, force-velocity profiles, isometric mid-thigh pull, jumps and sprint profiles.
• Analytics - comparative charts, leaderboards, readiness heatmaps and longitudinal reports.
• Fleet - every ORCA sensor across the organization with battery, firmware and current assignment.

The top-right shows organization name, active coach seat, and a quick switcher between orgs if you belong to more than one.

1. On first launch, tap Create organization.
2. Enter organization name, sport, country, and logo (optional, printed on athlete reports).
3. Choose the licensing tier that matches your seat count. Tier is enforced by the license you purchased on the configurator.
4. Set default units (kg or lb), timezone, and week start day. These become defaults for every athlete added.

Every Coach license includes one head-coach seat. Extra coach seats are added on the configurator or from Settings · Billing.

1. Go to Settings · Coaches.
2. Tap Invite coach. Enter email and choose a role (see chapter 18).
3. The invited coach receives an email link, signs up (or in), and joins your org.
4. Remove or change a coach's role from the same screen at any time.

Under Roster, you have three ways to add athletes:

• Invite by email or link: the athlete creates their own ORCA account and appears in your roster.
• QR code batch: generate a printable sheet of one-time QR codes. Athletes scan with their phone camera to join.
• CSV import: upload name, email, sport, position, birthdate, bodyweight. Invites are sent automatically.

Each athlete entry stores contact info, sport and position, current bodyweight, injury flags, and any custom tags you create.

Under Fleet, every ORCA sensor purchased under your organization appears with:

• Serial number, firmware version, last-seen time.
• Battery level updated at last sync (up to 730 days standby, ~24 hours of continuous training per charge).
• Current assignment - an athlete, a shared pool, or in-case.
• Case slot when a rugged multi-sensor case is registered (configurable for 4–12 sensors with optional in-case charging).

Assigning a sensor

1. Tap any sensor row. Choose Assign to athlete or Return to pool.
2. Assigned sensors appear inside that athlete's profile and can be paired from their ORCA athlete app.
3. Pool sensors are available for anyone in the org to pair for a single session, then auto-return to the pool.

Groups let you programme, message, and analyze several athletes together.

1. Under Roster · Groups, tap + New group.
2. Name it (e.g. "Senior forwards", "U18 sprinters"), pick a color, add athletes.
3. An athlete can belong to any number of groups.

Groups are the primary unit for assigning programs, running testing campaigns, and building leaderboards.

Templates

Templates are the reusable building blocks: a list of exercises, sets, target velocity zones, and optional velocity-loss cutoffs.

1. Go to Programming · Templates · +.
2. Add exercises from the library. For each set, pick a load prescription: absolute (kg/lb), % of 1RM, or velocity-target only.
3. Set velocity target and velocity-loss cutoff per exercise.
4. Save.

Programs

A program is a calendar of templates, typically 4-16 weeks. Programs support blocks, deloads, and conditional branching (e.g. deload if 7-day fatigue index exceeds threshold).

Two ways to push work to athletes:

• Assign a program: choose athletes or a group, pick a start date. Every session appears on their app's Home screen on the right day.
• One-off session: drag a template onto the calendar or an athlete row to schedule a single workout.

Athletes get a push notification when a new session appears. They can mark it done, skip it, or complete it live · you see the outcome either way.

The Dashboard shows every athlete currently training, in real time.

Live tiles

Each tile shows athlete name, current exercise, current set, and the last rep's mean velocity with color-coded feedback (green/amber/red vs. their target zone).

Drill in

Tap a tile to open the full live view: rep-by-rep velocity trace, velocity-loss %, cumulative volume, and any notes the athlete has attached. From here you can send a live voice note or a text cue that pops up on their app between sets.

Under any athlete or group, filter sessions by date, exercise, program, or tag. Every session view shows:

• Rep-by-rep table with mean velocity, peak velocity, ROM, power, and estimated 1RM per rep.
• 200 Hz velocity trace, scrubbable rep by rep.
• Velocity loss, best rep flag, and adherence to prescribed zones.
• Athlete notes, videos, and RPE.

Leave a comment on a session, a set, or an individual rep. The athlete gets a notification and sees your comment inline in their app.

Each athlete profile aggregates their entire training history:

• Personal records per exercise (mean velocity, peak velocity, projected 1RM, best power).
• Current load-velocity profile per lift, with change over time.
• Chronic vs. acute workload trend.
• Attendance and adherence to assigned programs.
• Injury log and coach notes (private to coach staff).
• Assigned sensor(s) and current pairing state.

Testing campaigns run the same protocol across many athletes and collect results in one place.

1. Go to Testing · + New campaign.
2. Pick a protocol: 1RM prediction, force-velocity profile, isometric mid-thigh pull, vertical jump, sprint profile, or custom.
3. Select the group(s) or athletes, set a completion window (e.g. "any time this week").
4. Athletes see the campaign as a scheduled session with the protocol pre-loaded.
5. As results come in, the campaign dashboard fills automatically: sortable table, group averages, deltas since last campaign, and export to PDF or CSV.

Under Analytics · LV Profiles, view every athlete's current profile per lift in one grid:

• Projected 1RM, slope, V0, L0, R² fit.
• Change vs. last measurement.
• Confidence flag when data is stale or under-sampled.

Request a refresh for any athlete with one tap · a "Refresh LV" session is added to their calendar.

Analytics gives you the group-level view. Every chart supports filters by group, tag, date range, exercise, and program block.

• Leaderboards: rank athletes on any metric (velocity, power, projected 1RM, relative strength).
• Volume distribution: tonnage and set counts per athlete per week.
• Readiness heatmap: velocity-drop trend across the roster, colored by severity.
• Position benchmarks: how each athlete compares to your team's positional averages.
• Attendance: program adherence per athlete.

Build long-range reports for federations, sport directors, or your own end-of-season review.

1. Go to Analytics · Reports · + New report.
2. Pick a period (season, block, year), athletes or groups, and the metrics to include.
3. Choose a template (Executive summary, Full team review, Individual athlete report) or start blank.
4. Export as branded PDF or share as a live web link (revocable).

Every coach-athlete communication is centralized:

• Voice notes and text comments on any set, rep, or full session.
• Direct messages per athlete or per group.
• Broadcast announcements to the whole roster.
• Read receipts and reply threads.

All athlete data belongs to the organization and can leave the platform at any time.

• CSV export: rep-level, session-level, or aggregated per athlete.
• PDF reports: athlete cards, campaign summaries, longitudinal reports.
• JSON API: programmatic pull of any data your org owns. API tokens managed under Settings · Integrations.
• Webhooks: push events (session completed, PR hit, test result) to your own systems.

Coach seats come in three roles:

• Owner: full access, billing, org settings, delete org. One per org.
• Head coach: full access except billing and org deletion.
• Assistant coach: can be scoped to specific groups only. Read + write inside their scope, read-only outside.

Role and scope are set when inviting or edited later under Settings · Coaches.

Under Settings · Billing:

• View current plan (tier by sensor count, extra seats).
• Add or remove extra coach seats.
• Change billing period (monthly / yearly).
• Update payment method and download invoices.
• See license usage: coach seats used, sensors registered, athletes connected.

Athlete's session isn't appearing on my dashboard

• Confirm the athlete accepted your invite (Roster · Pending shows unconfirmed).
• Confirm the athlete's app is on the latest version.
• Live monitoring requires the athlete to be online · offline sessions sync afterwards.

Sensor not showing in Fleet

• Confirm the sensor was purchased under this organization's account (or transferred to it).
• Power the sensor on and open the athlete app to force a check-in.

Testing campaign result missing for an athlete

• Check the campaign window · the athlete may still be inside the completion window.
• Confirm they used the protocol from the campaign, not a freestyle session.
