Setting up your profile
The setup steps after registering – and where to change your name, photo, contact details and roles later.
After registering, you set up your profile in a few steps. At the top you can see how far along you are (“Step 2 of 6”), and Back takes you one step back at any time.
The setup steps
Which steps you see depends on your role and age.

Role, personal data and sport
Roles: you can combine Athlete, Coach and Parent. Your role decides which steps follow and which tiles appear on your dashboard at first. As a parent you can also add your Mobile number (optional) so coaches can reach you.
Personal data: Date of birth and Gender are required. For gender the options are Male and Female. Names may only contain Latin letters (including umlauts and accents). If you registered with Apple or Google, the app takes your name from there if available.
Sport: you pick one of 12 sports, such as Volleyball, Handball or Other sport.
Contact details after joining your first team
When you send your first join request to a team and your phone number or address is missing, Add contact details appears. You can Save the details right away or choose Later.
Editing your profile later
- Open the side menu (top left) and tap Settings.
- Choose Profile & Account.
- Change what you like and tap Save at the top right.
If you go back without saving, the app asks you first – Discard throws your changes away.

Further down you’ll also find data export, withdrawing health consent and deleting your account – see Exporting data and deleting your account.
Position and jersey number
Your position and jersey number aren’t part of your profile. They live in the team data of each team, so you can have a different number in every team. You can fill in your own values there yourself. See Team data and member profiles.
Viewing your own profile
Tap your profile picture at the top right to open your profile page with your statistics and the Health and Training tabs.
In the web dashboard
Under Settings in the web dashboard you only see your profile (picture, name, email). You can change your name, photo and password in the app only.
