Mistakes to Avoid

Mistakes to Avoid

Certain mistakes can weaken a Coach profile and make it harder for Players to choose with confidence. Avoiding these common errors helps the profile appear professional, clear, and trustworthy.

One mistake is writing a Bio that is either too vague or too long. Players want to quickly understand who the Coach is, what they teach, and how they can help. Keeping the Bio clear, concise, and in plain language is more effective than long passages of detail.

Another common error is using poor-quality photos. Blurry images, casual group crops, or backgrounds with distractions create the wrong impression. A professional headshot, well lit and with a simple, light-coloured background, always builds more trust.

Generic phrases copied from elsewhere can also make a profile feel less engaging. A Bio should sound authentic, with wording that reflects the Coach’s own approach and personality.

Finally, a profile should not be left static once created. Updating the Bio, profile photo, and sample Tips ensures Players see that the Coach is active and committed.

By avoiding these mistakes, a Coach creates a profile that is clear, professional, and attractive to Players, laying the foundation for long-term trust and repeat requests.
