FYTT's tablet interface enables coaches to deliver individualized training via tablets setup at training stations throughout a facility. Station tablets can be used to streamline in-person, coach-directed training sessions, especially when combined with some of FYTT's other training tools.
Facilities
In order to utilize the tablet interface, you'll first need to create a facility for the institution. The facility object enables you to define the stations and quickly login at each one.
To create a facility, navigate to the institution dashboard, click the "facilities" item, then click the button to create a new facility.
Give the facility a name and input the number of stations at the facility where tablets will be setup.
Station setup
Once you've created a facility, the next step is to login to each tablet at the facility's stations. Follow the steps below to setup the tablet training interface on each tablet.
1. Generate a login token for the facility from the facilities page:
2. On each tablet, navigate to facilities.fytt.io and login with the token:
3. Click a station to assign the tablet a station number:
4. Direct athletes to stations to have them start training:
Athlete training
By default, facilities utilize a "self-assign" workflow for athlete training. With this setup, athletes are able to interact with the tablet interface to select their team, then add themselves to the station so they can follow their workout.
Each tablet can accommodate as many athletes is practical for training together. The selected athletes are listed on the right, and their workouts are list on the left. The middle section shows the selected workout for the selected athlete.
The athletes working at the station can easily switch back and forth between their individualized workouts to follow and recording their training. As they're going back and forth, their last position in the workout will be remembered so that the process is seamless.
Automatic station assignments
Facilities have an "automatic station assignment" setting. This option is only applicable if you plan to use the digital whiteboard to facilitate training sessions. The workflow for automatic station assignments is as follows:
Each tablet is assigned a unique station within the facility
The tablet interface is initialized in a "waiting" state
Open the digital whiteboard for a session that has been assigned to the facility
Click the "start session" button on the whiteboard
Athletes are automatically assigned to stations based on similar abilities
Each tablet is automatically refreshed to show the athletes assigned to each one
Athletes perform their workouts and record their results
Click the "end session" button on the whiteboard to return the tablets to their "waiting" state
This workflow lends itself nicely to scenarios where you prefer to have athletes assigned to specific coaches and stations. If you have the ability to cast the whiteboard to a big screen, you can start the session to create the station assignments, then athletes can look at the whiteboard and go to their assigned stations.
