The relationship between an athlete and their coach is one of the most important things in all of sport. It runs on trust, honesty, and on a shared read of the work. It is not a feature to bolt on over a weekend, and it is not something we are willing to get half right.
We are building the coaching side of OSO deliberately. The individual athlete experience comes first, held to a standard we believe in, and the coaching layer goes on top of a foundation we already trust. When a coach opens OSO, the read of their athlete has to be as personal as the read the athlete gets. We would rather arrive late and correct than early and shallow.
The intent is simple. An athlete invites their coach. The coach sees the same individualized profile, the same fitness, fatigue and form, and the same plain-English read of every session the athlete does. The coach prescribes structured work and sends it to the athlete's calendar and device. Both sides look at one picture.
The principle underneath does not change for coaches. Every number is still computed from the athlete's own data, never from tables of other people. And the athlete stays in control: access is granted by the athlete, visible to the athlete, and revocable by the athlete at any time. A coaching tool that gets that wrong is not one worth shipping.
Not yet. OSO today is built for the individual athlete. There is no coach seat, shared roster or athlete-management view. If you coach and you also use OSO for your own training, everything works, but the tools for looking after other athletes are still in development.
Because we would rather ship it right than ship it fast. Coaching carries trust, privacy and real responsibility for another person's training. We are building the athlete's own experience to a standard we believe in first, so the coaching layer sits on a foundation we already trust, rather than rushing a shallow version to check a box.
The intent is a shared view of the work. A coach an athlete invites will see the same individualized profile, the same fitness, fatigue and form, and the same plain-English read of each session that the athlete sees, and will be able to prescribe structured workouts and send them straight to the athlete's head unit. This is a statement of direction, not a fixed roadmap, and it will be shaped by the coaches we build it with.
The athlete, always. Access is granted by the athlete and can be revoked by the athlete at any time, and a coach sees only what the athlete chooses to share. We treat this as non-negotiable, and getting it right is a large part of why we are taking our time.
Our first focus is the coach and athlete workflow itself: one clean, shared view of the training. Whether OSO also becomes a place where athletes find coaches is a separate question we have not decided, and it is not what we are building first.
Get in touch and tell us how you actually work. The best version of this gets built with coaches, from the way real coaching happens rather than from our assumptions about it. The contact page reaches us directly.
Pricing for coaching has not been set. The app is free while it is in private beta, and we will be clear about pricing well before anything changes.
Today an athlete can export their full training history as a single file from Settings and share it with you directly. Native coach access, where you see the live picture without files changing hands, is exactly what we are building.
Coaches, we want your input
