Coach Terms and Guidelines

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

By becoming a coach on Rawa, you agree to the following terms and guidelines. These exist to protect both coaches and athletes, and to maintain a safe, professional coaching environment.

Coach Responsibilities

As a coach on Rawa, you are expected to provide honest, safe, and evidence-based training guidance. You must communicate clearly with your athletes about training plans, expectations, and any changes. You should respond to athlete feedback in a timely manner and adjust training as needed.

Coaches must:

• Create training plans appropriate to the athlete's fitness level and goals
• Monitor athlete workload and recovery to prevent overtraining
• Provide constructive feedback on workout execution
• Be responsive to questions and concerns from athletes

Data Handling

You will have access to your athletes' training data, activities, and optionally their health metrics. This data must only be used for coaching purposes. You may not share, export, or use athlete data for any purpose other than providing coaching services within the Rawa platform.

Specifically, you agree to:

• Use athlete data solely for coaching and training analysis
• Not share athlete data with third parties
• Not export or store athlete data outside of Rawa
• Delete or stop accessing athlete data when the coaching relationship ends

Athlete Privacy

Athletes control what data they share with you. You must respect their privacy settings and not request access to data beyond what is necessary for coaching. Health data sharing is opt-in and can be revoked by the athlete at any time.

Key privacy principles:

• Athletes choose which health metrics to share
• Athletes can revoke data access at any time
• Activity data is shared automatically during active coaching relationships
• When a relationship ends, coach access to data is immediately revoked

Professional Conduct

Coaches must maintain professional relationships with their athletes. Any form of harassment, discrimination, or inappropriate behavior will result in immediate removal from the platform.

Coaches must not:

• Make medical diagnoses or provide medical advice
• Prescribe medication or supplements as treatment
• Engage in discriminatory behavior based on race, gender, age, or any other characteristic
• Use the coaching relationship for purposes other than training

Liability

Rawa provides a platform for coaching relationships but does not verify coaching credentials or qualifications. Coaches are solely responsible for the training advice they provide. Athletes participate in training programs at their own risk. Rawa is not liable for injuries or damages resulting from coaching advice given through the platform.

Termination

Either party (coach or athlete) can end the coaching relationship at any time. Rawa reserves the right to revoke coaching privileges if these terms are violated. Providing false information about coaching credentials or experience may result in permanent removal from the platform.

Changes to These Terms

Rawa may update these terms from time to time. Coaches will be notified of significant changes. Continued use of the coaching features after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
