Goals

Set objectives with key results, track progress through the season, and review how they turned out.

Turn season ambitions into something you can track all the way through, not just judge at the end.

A goal at a glance — a title and description, its attributes, and key results.
The goal categories and methodology completeness rules are configured per team, so they may differ from this guide. The six states, the key-result fields, and the rest of the mechanics work the same everywhere.

Each goal holds a set of key results — measurable outcomes with a start, current, and target value — so progress stays visible season-long.

Where to find Goals

Open Goals from the main menu. As an athlete, you'll see your own goals straight away. As a coach, pick a group and then an athlete to work with their goals — or open your own Goals to set objectives for yourself.

Goals are grouped by season into Current season and Past season, each with a count, so older objectives stay out of the way without being lost.

Create a goal

A goal is a single objective ("Lift 150 kg on bench press," "Reach the World Championship final"). Give it a name and some context, then break it into key results.

A goal made up of a title and description, a row of attributes (state, season, priority, supervisors, category), and a key results table with start, current, target values and a target date.
The parts of a goal: a title and description, its attributes, and a table of key results.
Open Goals and pick the person

Select the athlete whose goal you're creating — or yourself, as a coach.

Add a new goal

Select + at the top of the goals list. A New goal appears, ready to edit.

Fill in the goal

Give it a title and description, then set its attributes (see below) and add key results. There's no Save button — changes apply immediately and are logged under Activity.

Goal fields

Titlerequired

The objective, in a few words — for example, "Lift 150 kg on bench press."

Description

Free-text context: what success looks like and by when.

StateDefault: Not started

The goal's status: Not started, On track, Off track, Completed, Canceled, or Failed.

SeasonDefault: Current season

The season the goal belongs to. Goals are grouped by season in the list.

PriorityDefault: Low

Low, Medium, or High — set from the ! button.

Supervisors

The coaches who follow the goal. Use Add supervisors to pick them from a searchable list.

Category

A two-level label — a category and its subcategory (for example, Fitness → Strength). The available categories are configured for your team.

The category menu open, showing top-level categories such as Performance, Fitness, Personal, Technical, Health, and Conditions, each with a submenu.

Add key results

A key result is a measurable outcome that tells you whether the goal is being met. Add as many as the goal needs — each row in the table is one outcome.

There are no sub-steps or milestones; key results are the only way to break a goal down.

Name the key result

Type into the inline Name the key result row at the bottom of the table to add a row.

Enter the values

Fill in Start value, Current value, and Target value.

Set a target date

Select Set date and choose when the key result should be reached.

Key result fields

Namerequired

The measurable outcome — for example, "Train at least 3× per week."

Start value

Where the athlete began. Free text — a number (0) or a phrase (unknown).

Current value

Where the athlete is now. Updated manually as progress is made.

Target value

The value that counts as success — for example, 140kg or 3.

Target date

When the key result should be reached.

State

The key result's status — the same six states as the goal.

Track progress

Values are updated manually, so keep them current as the athlete progresses — the conversations around a goal are only as good as its latest numbers. Update each key result's current value, and move the goal's state as the picture changes. The progress fraction counts achieved key results against the total.

Every change is logged automatically — a new value, a state change, a moved target date, a rename — under Activity, with who made it and when.

To remove a goal, use the trash icon at the top right.

Comments and final evaluations

Use Activity to leave a comment at any time. Comments are plain text, timestamped, and a good way for an athlete and coach to talk through progress in context.

When a goal wraps up, add a final evaluation — a short closing reflection on how it went. Both the athlete and a coach can add their own.

Goals are at their best in pre- and post-season conversations: set them together at the start of the season, and evaluate them together at the end.

Check a goal against your methodology

The check icon at the top right opens Document check — a methodology check from Yollanda. It flags what's still missing (red) or recommended (amber), with green checks for what's done, and links to Open methodology, your team's methodology document.

What counts as required or recommended — such as a minimum number of key results — comes from your team's configured methodology and differs between teams.
The Document check panel listing items to complete on a goal — fill the title, add a supervisor, choose a category, add key results — marked as required or recommended, with a link to open the methodology.

See a whole group's goals

As a coach, select Entire Group to see the whole squad on one screen. Every athlete is a row — each goal a rounded pill colored by its state, followed by a small circle per key result. Athletes with no goals still appear as a labeled row.

Hover a goal for a quick summary, or select it to open the full view — a fast way to scan a squad before a planning meeting or review.

What athletes see

Athletes manage only their own goals — there's no group switcher and no Entire Group overview, just their own season buckets. An athlete can view and edit their goals (including key results and attributes), leave comments, and add a final evaluation — even on a goal a coach created for them.

How it connects

  • Goals are scoped to a season — the structure they live in comes from Plan and the Season Calendar.
  • Document check is a Yollanda surface, checking each goal against your team's methodology.
  • Goals and their final evaluations are the spine of pre- and post-season review conversations.
