Before this app, coaches had to fill out every field in a Google Sheet for every class, including repeat details like their own name. There were no defaults or shortcuts, and the process was cumbersome enough that we often skipped it. I designed and built a more useful workflow with AI-assisted coding, then expanded it based on early user testing.
Make curriculum planning fast enough that coaches would actually use it, keep calendars in sync, and give students the latest schedule without asking them to repeatedly check a website.

What changed
Coaches can set default teaching days, manage accounts separately, and apply a technique across a week or month instead of re-entering the same details.
Notes and reference images flow into the calendar, and students can subscribe through Google or Apple instead of checking the website.
I replaced repeated entry with default coaches by weekday, reusable class types, and controls for applying a technique to a full week or month.
I used those findings to improve sign-in and syncing, add separate coach management, and protect recurring assignments and one-off changes.
I added reference images and notes that populate calendar entries, plus Google and Apple Calendar subscriptions so students can get updates automatically.
The class editor grew through testing to support reusable techniques, notes, references, and week or month bulk-fill options.
Preset coaches can be assigned by weekday while one-off substitutions stay protected.
Students can use the live calendar or subscribe through Google or Apple and never need to check the website.
