What should be in an athlete passport
Identity and team context (age group, position, club).
Training history and attendance signals over the season.
Programs and key sessions completed — not only “said they trained”.
Milestones and notes that matter for development conversations.
Links to wellbeing / readiness when your club uses them.
Why clubs need one shared source of truth
Parents ask for updates in chat. Coaches keep parallel notes. Athletes forget what they did last month.
When everything sits in one passport, the conversation becomes “look at the week” instead of “I think they were there”.
Scouts and next coaches also benefit from a clean, honest record — not a collage of screenshots.
How to introduce it without overwhelming families
Start with schedule + attendance + basic profile.
Add programs and progress when the team already uses the weekly plan.
Keep language clear for parents; keep detail available for coaches.
