Every coach.
One live platform.

Your program has outgrown forms, DMs and spreadsheets.

Eight things sports academies, trainers and recruiting platforms tell us on the first call, and what each one looks like after launch.

TodayAfter launch

Matching athletes to coaches by hand

Matched on sport, position, distance and schedule, automatically

Profiles spread across forms and sheets

One profile with stats, highlight video and goals

Subscriptions out of sync with access

Access switches on and off with each subscription

Funnel drop-off invisible

Every stage visible, with reminders where athletes stall

Coaches managing leads in DMs

Requests land in the coach portal with the profile attached

No dashboard for families

Families see sessions, payments and replies on their phone

Payments chased manually

Paid at booking, with receipts sent automatically

Software that doesn't fit your workflow

Built around how your program actually works

What we build

Four front doors. One system.

Athletes, coaches, families and admins each get their own branded login, and every profile, match and subscription lives in the same database.

portal.yourbrand.com/athlete-profileAthlete profile
For: Athletes and their families

Athletes and families build a profile with stats, video and goals, then track which coaches or programs have viewed or responded.

Why it matters

Athletes keep one profile with stats, highlight video and goals, and see which coaches and programs have viewed it, so nothing is spread across forms and families always know where things stand.

portal.yourbrand.com/coach-and-trainer-portalCoach and trainer portal
For: Coaches, trainers and academy staff

Coaches list their services, manage their profile and subscription, and respond to athletes from one dashboard instead of their DMs.

Why it matters

Requests arrive with the athlete's profile and video attached, and coaches reply, book and manage their listing and plan in one place instead of their DMs.

portal.yourbrand.com/matching-and-discoveryMatching and discovery
For: Athletes, families and coaches

Search and filters built around your sport and positions, so the right athletes and coaches find each other without an admin in the middle.

Why it matters

Filters built around your sport, positions, distance and schedule put the right coaches in front of each athlete, so nobody matches people by hand and requests go straight to the coach.

portal.yourbrand.com/admin-dashboardAdmin dashboard
For: Founders, program directors and admins

Signups, subscriptions, matches and funnel drop-off by stage, so you can see where athletes stall and fix it before they churn.

Why it matters

Signups, profiles, matches and bookings by stage show exactly where athletes stall, reminders go out to them, and coach access follows each subscription without anyone editing it.

White-labeled

Your logo, your colors, your domain.

Your team and clients never see our name or a vendor’s. The same system, dressed as your business.

  • Runs on your own domain, with your email sender
  • Your fonts and colors on every screen and notification
  • Separate branding per office or team if you need it

“Vaibhav saved me. I tried everything to fix my Softr/Airtable portal and he got it sorted straight away, at a very reasonable rate. He finished exactly when he said he would and was great to deal with. I plan to hire him again for future automations.”

Questions sports and recruiting teams ask

Before you book the call.

No. Your website can stay as it is and point its sign-up buttons at the portal, and existing athletes, coaches and families can be imported from your spreadsheets or forms. We agree what moves over, and what connects, before kickoff.

Matching runs on the fields you choose, for example sport, position, age group or graduation year, distance and availability. Athletes and families filter, the best fits come first, and a request goes straight to the coach. We set the rules with you, so they fit your sport rather than a generic marketplace.

Question not on the list?Ask Vaibhav directly on WhatsApp, or bring it to the call.
