The athlete must be a Stryd member or Stryd Pioneer for the coach to see the athlete's Stryd Membership or Stryd Pioneer features.
How to gain access to Coach's View
Coach’s View is only available on PowerCenter to certified Stryd Coaches. Coach's View allows the coach to see exactly the same data as the athlete.
Step 1: Become a Stryd Coach
Before your coach can access the Coach’s View, they must already have a Stryd Coach certification or complete the Stryd Coaching course.
If your coach would like to become a Stryd Coach, they can enroll here: https://coach.stryd.com/
Step 2: The coach must send an invitation to view that athlete's data
The coach should log into their Stryd account on PowerCenter.
If they are certified as a Stryd Coach, they will have access to an “Athlete Management” tab on the left-hand side navigation (https://www.stryd.com/powercenter/athlete-management).
-- If they are not yet certified as a Stryd Coach, please refer to step 1 for instructions on how to become a Stryd Coach.
The coach needs to input the username associated with the athlete's Stryd account to send you an invite.
The athlete will receive an email saying, "Your coach wants to view your Stryd account. Please log in to your Stryd account to approve the request."
The athlete can either accept the request or deny the request on PowerCenter.
If the invite is accepted, the coach will be notified via email and will be able to select the athlete's account to view their PowerCenter account.
If the coach wants to remove the athlete from their Athlete list, they must click the three horizontal dots and then select “Remove.”
If the Athlete wishes to remove or change the coach’s access to their account, they need to open PowerCenter -> Settings -> Permissions
Here, they will have the option to toggle on the edit permissions. If the edit permissions are off, the coach will have a read-only view of the user's account. Athletes will also have the ability to remove a coach altogether by selecting the three horizontal dots and then selecting Remove.
Please note that the edit permissions will be toggled off by default. The athlete will need to manually toggle these permissions on in order for the coach to start using the edit features.
How to use Coach's View
As a Stryd coach, you will be able to view your athletes' Runner Summary, Calendar, Footpath Tools, and Race Calculator.
From the Athlete Manager tab, you can select the Athlete’s profile to view their PowerCenter.
Runner Summary
The Athlete Runner Summary is an overview of the athlete's training and racing.
Here, a coach will be able to analyze athletes:
Membership Status
Username
Weight
Critical Power
Power Zones
Recent Runs
Running Stress Balance
My Training Chart
Power Duration Curve
A coach may want to use the My Training Chart or Power Duration Curve to better understand how the athlete’s training has been going or address any issues.
Calendar
On the Calendar view, a coach can make edits to Workouts and run data.
Workouts
Coaches will be able to add workouts, delete or edit workouts, and move workouts on the Athletes' calendar.

The coach will only be able to add workouts from the Stryd Workout Collection or the Coach's workout collection. The coach will not be able to see or add the athlete's personal workouts to the calendar.
