Dashboard, sessions, progress, drills, and messaging
Using Surflink (Athletes)
Your portal has three places in the top navigation: Dashboard, Progress, and Messages.
Dashboard
Your dashboard (/athlete/dashboard) opens on a hero with your photo, skill level, stance, age, and who coaches you. A "What's New" banner briefly highlights anything new in the last 24 hours (new drills, sessions, or unread messages).
Below the stat cards are four tabs:
| Tab | What's there |
|---|---|
| Home | Upcoming training sessions, your active drill assignments, recent sessions, and recent journal notes from your coach |
| Drills | All your drill assignments |
| Badges | Achievement badges -- earned ones are highlighted, locked ones are dimmed |
Your Badges live here on the Dashboard tabs (not on the Progress page).
Watch a session and read your feedback
- From the Home tab, open a session under Recent Sessions (
/athlete/sessions/[id]). - Watch the video. If there are multiple clips, switch with the Clip 1 / Clip 2 ... pills.
- Read Your Coach AI Summary at the top.
- Use the tabs:
- AI Coach -- What You Did Well, Areas to Work On (with priority), Wave by Wave, and Key Moments. Tap any play button (e.g. ▶ 1:23) to jump the video to that moment.
- Coach Notes -- your coach's written notes, each with a seek button.
- Stats -- the AI breakdown.
- Open View Full Report for a printable summary.
Track your progress
The Progress page (/athlete/progress) is a read-only overview:
- Summary cards: Sessions, Notes.
- An AI Progress Analysis that appears once you have at least two sessions, describing your trajectory, where you've improved, what to keep working on, and a focus for next session.
- Charts: Session Frequency and a Coach Feedback timeline.
The Progress page is just for viewing. Your badges and journal notes are on the Dashboard tabs.
Complete drills
- On the Dashboard, open the Drills tab (or "Your Drill Assignments" on Home) and tap a drill.
- Read the steps, notes, and due date.
- If it's newly assigned, tap Start Drill.
- When you've done it, tap Mark Complete. Completed drills are dimmed.
Message your coach
Open Messages to chat with your coach in real time. Type a message and send it (Enter to send, Shift+Enter for a new line). You'll see when your coach has read it.
Journaling is done by your coach. You can read recent journal notes on your Dashboard, but you can't create journal entries yourself.
