Business Challenges
1. Problem of Finding Suitable Fitness Professionals
It is hard for athletes to find suitable coaches and service providers according to specific needs, from physical therapy to sports psychology, from nutrition to fitness training. There was a need for a platform for centralized discovery of such professionals.
2. Complicated Coach Discovery
It is complicated to search for coaches depending on location, category of service, and specific requirements. There was a need for a convenient tool that would help athletes to browse available coaches.
3. Manual Coaching Service Booking & Availability Management
Manual management of service bookings and slots might lead to mistakes and inefficient communication. There was a need for a central system for managing slots and bookings for coaches.
