Every Athletes Untapped coach highlights four packages on their profile: single lesson, 3-pack, 10-pack, and a monthly subscription. While clients can book any of these four options, the best results for athletes tend to come when they’re on the 10-pack or subscription plan. This avoids the hassle of needing to constantly re-book lessons, and it sets up the coach-athlete relationship for long-term success. Truly improving your game takes a lot of practice, and that’s what your training sessions are for!

Communicate Clearly in Your Profile and Policies:

If you want, you can state your preferential booking requirements in your coach profile and during initial communication with clients. This ensures transparency and helps clients understand your expectations from the outset. Include details about the minimum number of lessons you like to start with, the duration of the commitment, and any associated terms.

Offer Packages or Bundles:

Consider offering lesson packages or bundles that require a minimum number of bookings. This can incentivize clients to commit to a longer-term training plan and provide them with potential cost savings. Highlight the benefits of these packages, such as consistent progress and personalized attention.

Discuss Expectations During Initial Consultations:

During initial consultations or introductory sessions, discuss your minimum booking requirements with potential clients. Explain the rationale behind these requirements and how they contribute to the athlete’s development. This allows for open dialogue and ensures both parties are aligned on expectations.

Be Flexible and Consider Individual Circumstances:

While minimum booking requirements can be beneficial, be prepared to consider individual circumstances. Some clients may have scheduling constraints or specific needs that require flexibility. Maintain open communication and be willing to discuss alternative arrangements on a case-by-case basis.
