Inviting athletes

Athletes join Ossa through an invitation from their coach.

Send an invitation

1. On your Athletes page, find Invite an athlete.
2. Enter the athlete's email address.
3. Choose what you coach them in: Running and strength, Running only or Strength only.
4. Click Send invitation.

The athlete appears in your list as Waiting to accept. Nothing is shared with you until they accept.

What the athlete sees

• New to Ossa: they get an email, create their account from the link, then see your invitation and choose Accept or Decline.
• Already on Ossa: your invitation appears on their Your training page, and they get an email with a link to sign in and respond.

Once they accept, they change to Joined and you can see their profile. If they decline, they show as Declined.

Sharing an athlete with another coach

An athlete can have more than one coach. For example, a run coach and a strength coach can each invite the same athlete and choose their own discipline. The athlete accepts each coach separately, and coaches only see each other once the athlete has accepted both.

Removing an athlete

Click Remove next to their name. This removes them from your roster only. It doesn't delete their account or affect their other coaches.

Common questions

Can I invite another coach as an athlete? No. An email that belongs to a coach account can't be added as an athlete.

Why do athletes have to accept? Their training and health data is theirs. Asking first means no coach sees an athlete's information without their permission.

The athlete declined by mistake. Click Remove next to their name, then invite them again.

The athlete didn't get the email. Ask them to check spam. If it's still missing, remove them and invite them again. Athletes who already use Ossa will also see your invitation the next time they sign in.
