Coachsome: Connect athletes with coaches in their sport
Aug 1, 2020
Coachsome is an online platform that connects ambitious athletes with experienced coaches in their sport. We founded Coachsome from the ground up and therefore became an integrated part of the founding team, where we created an intuitive design and management system in Figma, guided the development process, and managed the daily development team.
Coachsome is an online platform that connects ambitious athletes with experienced coaches in their sport.

Background
As the founders of Coachsome, our task was to create a user-friendly digital platform that connects athletes with qualified coaches in their preferred sports. We embarked on this challenging task with the goal of making it easy for athletes to find a qualified coach who could help them achieve their dreams and goals.
Design Process
We initiated the project with extensive research and user interviews to understand the needs of both athletes and coaches. Based on the collected feedback, we created a unique operating system in Figma that was not only intuitive but also tailored to the specific requirements requested by the coaches and athletes. We ensured to focus on the most necessary features from the start to minimize errors and reduce pressure on the development team.
User Testing and Iteration
Prior to developing the platform, we built a fully clickable prototype that underwent extensive user testing with athletes and coaches. The feedback was incorporated in several iterations to ensure an optimal user experience. The iterative process was crucial in creating a product that not only met but also exceeded expectations.
Launch and Results
After a thorough testing period, Coachsome was launched in the summer of 2020, and the result was impressive. The platform attracted over 1000 coaches and quickly became the largest player in the market. Athletes and coaches praised not only the platform's functionality but also the intuitive user interface and the interactive learning environment.
Conclusion
Our dedication to user-centered design, extensive testing, and iterative development has positioned Coachsome as a market leader in online sports education. This project is not just a case study; it is the story of how vision and design can transform an entire industry.
