Coach Mode

Understand every athlete through data

The coach panel for your school.

Your athletes log their training in The Guard BJJ app. You see the real data in your browser.

One card per athlete, one week at a time. The panel gives the verdict.

The blind spot

You only see your athlete on the mat

Off the mat, everything becomes a guess:

"How many times did they actually train this month?"

"Did the session hit the intensity I asked for, or was it just sweating?"

"Are they submitting more than they're getting caught?"

"Time to push harder, or to hold back before it turns into an injury?"

Today the answer is "I think so." Coach Mode turns it into a number.

Getting started

Three steps, consent first

Athlete Mode cockpit in the app: live heart rate, %HRR, calories, 2-minute peak, and target zone during a session

Your athletes train with a heart rate band and Athlete Mode on. Every session they save feeds your panel.

  1. Invite. You invite the athlete by e-mail, straight from the panel.
  2. Athlete accepts. The invite shows up in their app, and they accept or decline.
  3. Follow. Their sessions start showing up in your panel, week by week.

For the athlete

Trains with the heart rate band and Athlete Mode on, in the app they already use (iOS and Android). Sees the plan you built, right in the pre-workout check-in.

For the coach

A panel in the browser. Works on desktop and phone, nothing to install. In English and Brazilian Portuguese.

A heart rate band is required for full monitoring. Without it, there's no intensity data.

In the panel

Every session, read in numbers

Block by block, the submission game, and the month's signals, all from their real sessions.

  • Block by block

    Warm-up, drilling, and sparring split automatically from the heart rate curve, each with its own average.

  • Prescribed vs. executed

    The panel gives the verdict on each session: on target or off, with the percentage of time in the prescribed zone.

  • Finishes by technique

    Every submission the athlete lands, ranked, so their real game is easy to read.

  • Attack vs. defense

    Finishes against escapes shows whether they submit more than they get caught. Their go-to submission of the month sits up top.

Monthly readings

The Guard BJJ turns the month into ranked signals, each with a practical training suggestion, always compared with the month before.

The Athlete Mode layer

How the athlete performs rested vs. tired, and where the mat time went this month: sparring, drilling, rest.

Weekly training plans

Intent and target zone for each day of the week. Assign the plan to several athletes at once; adherence comes back as a percentage.

Consent and privacy

Built for the coach, with respect for the athlete

Only athletes who accepted the invite appear, and personal notes and photos never reach the coach. Nothing is shared until the athlete says yes, and access can be revoked at any moment.
