About

STRIVN Coach

Features
Read full description

STRIVN Coach is the session-day companion for technical staff and strength & conditioning coaches. Before the session, glance at everything you need for your next one: attendance, planned content, last-minute notes. During the session, launch the live pitch-side runner: every block shows a visible countdown on the lock screen, so you can stay focused on the pitch instead of your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Session prep — Check your next session's content and attendance before you arrive. • Live runner — Start, pause, and advance your session's blocks from the pitch. • Block-end cues — Vibration/sound as each block wraps up, even locked or in your pocket. • Lock-screen HUD — A persistent notification shows the current block's countdown without unlocking your phone. • Stays with you — Keeps working through a brief network drop mid-session; already-scheduled cues still fire. • Your profile — Choose your language (French, English, Dutch, or German). STRIVN Coach connects to your club's STRIVN space with your existing coach account. Full team management (roster, programs, scheduling, medical, billing) stays on app.strivn.net — this app is focused on session day. Questions? Contact us at hello@strivn.net.
