Coaching platform Today’s Plan has announced a suite of digital tools to allow coaches, clubs and federations to create their own training community. This suite of tools is known as ‘Communities’, and applies to whether an organisation has 10 or 10,000 members or athletes.
‘Communities’ allows organisations to offer a higher quality training experience for their 1:1 coached athletes, through to their large squads or membership base.
Today’s Plan adds that it ‘is reshaping the endurance sport world’ by introducing a set of tools that live within its platform that allows coaches, clubs & federations to:
- Distribute their educational knowledge in app via a dedicated content feed, while protecting their IP
- Prescribe & update training to large groups of members with flexibility on an unprecedented scale
- Offer technology tools to allow for simple member onboarding and community engagement
- Enable gamification of outdoor training
Today’s Plan has been working with several leading organisations to implement these tools as part of their “launch cohort”. These organisations include: Brownlee Fitness, Thomas Endurance Coaching, PowerPace, Purple Patch, AusCycling, Endure IQ and Team EF Coaching.
