How to onboard if you are an athlete

A few pointers on how to get set up with your MVP Analytics account.

As an athlete, you will receive a completely free profile that will hold all your results and other information so you can work towards unlocking your potential. 

You may have been invited to join as an athlete from your school, club, team or organisation or you may have just set up your own free profile. 

Either way, you will go through a brief "onboarding" (a fancy way of saying setting up your account) that helps you to get going. 

There are just a couple of tasks to complete

• Signing up
• Adding a profile image
• Writing a bio
• Completing some further information
• Accepting and managing invitations

Signing up

If you have received an invitation from an organisation or coach to join them and you don't yet have an account then simply click the link in the mail you will have received. This will then take you to the first step of onboarding which is to create a password, and username and then validate your account.

After you have completed that just log in using those credentials. You can use either your username or email address. 

Adding a profile image

This is a chance to personalise your account, getting it ready for the opportunities that are down the line for you now that you are a part of MVP! 

Your profile will be the window into your athletic ability, so step one is to choose a profile pic. It is very simple to do. Just upload an image that best represents you (we recommend something sporty like an action shot) and that's it! As long as you have that image file on your computer or on your phone you are good to go! 

Writing a bio

By writing a comprehensive bio that showcases your talents you will be well on your way to a successful MVP'er! You will notice that there is plenty of text space so feel free to make it as long as you would like but remember that something factual, interesting and impactful will always go down well. 

Here is a good example from an athlete who plays a high level of basketball. 

"I am a strong guard and have a deadly 3 point shot and also a mid-range jump shot. I am lighting quick and can handle the ball very well. I have great athleticism and am a natural leader on the court. I also have great speed on the open court. I am a hard nose defender with solid lockdown defence, great court vision and can handle the ball under pressure. I am a smart player while under pressure or in close game situations."

Completing some further information

During your onboarding, we will ask a few questions about you that will help us to provide a better service to you. Fill these out as best you can. 

Accepting and managing invitations

By accepting the invite email from an organisation you have effectively created a "link" between you. At any time you are able to delete that link from the organisation on your settings page.
