Examples of athletes to add
-
Competitive athletes: These include individuals actively competing in sports at various levels, from amateur leagues to professional competitions.
-
Youth athletes: Young sports enthusiasts who are in the developmental stages of their athletic careers.
-
Fitness enthusiasts: Individuals focused on general fitness and well-being, who may benefit from structured training plans.

Rehabilitating athletes: Those recovering from injuries and looking to get back to their sport.

Aspiring talents: Emerging athletes who are in the early stages of their sports careers and seeking professional guidance and training.
Bulk importing athletes
-
Using CSV file: If you have a list of athletes in a CSV file, you can easily import them in bulk. This option saves time and is ideal for adding entire teams or groups at once.
-
Format of CSV file: Ensure your CSV file is formatted correctly, with one email address per line. This format helps the system accurately process and send out invitations to all listed athletes.
Tips for a smooth addition
-
Check email accuracy: Double-check the email addresses for correctness to ensure that invitations are sent to the right individuals.
-
Inform athletes in advance: Let athletes know that they will be receiving an invitation to join Pod1um. Prior communication can help increase acceptance rates.
-
Follow-up: After sending the invitations, it might be helpful to follow up with the athletes to confirm receipt and address any questions they might have about the platform.
