Coaching on Saturday
These docs are for coaches using the Saturday coach portal — not developers. (Building an integration? That’s the API Guides tab.) Saturday handles the fueling so you can focus on the training. This tab teaches you the whole coaching surface — and, just as importantly, how Saturday thinks about nutrition, so you can answer your athletes’ fueling questions once and for all.Become a coach
Two ways in, one place you land.
Invite your first athlete
From empty roster to a coached athlete in minutes.
Who pays
The billing modes, in plain language.
The dials
How Saturday turns targets into bottles.
What you can do
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Getting started | Become a coach, invite or create your first athlete from your roster |
| Billing | Who pays, coach-paid athletes, take-over & relinquish, the volume discount — all in billing |
| Roster & alerts | Flags, groups, the AI report, and configuring your alert settings |
| Team & assistants | Add assistants, assign athletes, the team roll-up, and permissions on your team |
| Nutrition curriculum | The four dials: bottling & fill/mix, gluc:fruc ratio, eco-mode vs products, the Setup — open an athlete from your roster to adjust it |
The one idea worth taking away
You are co-piloting, not locking. Everything you adjust for an athlete — their fueling Setup (open an athlete from your roster), their alerts — syncs to their app instantly, the athlete is always notified, and the athlete can always change it back. The relationship is high-trust by design: Saturday does the math so you and your athlete can both see the same picture.You’re also an athlete. Every coach has their own Saturday athlete account. You can flip between your Coaching view and your My Training view with the in the app — same account, two lenses.
How these docs are written
- Coach-speed. Scannable, task-oriented, no jargon walls. Skim the headers; dive where you need to.
- No certification, no homework. This is teaching, not a course — there’s no exam, badge, or progress bar. Read what’s useful and leave.
- Real terms. Saturday says bottle, Setup, and coach-paid athlete — and means them. You’ll see those words used consistently throughout.
