Menu Items - The icons at the bottom of the screen allows you to access the other main views of the app including, my data in a calendar format, individualised dashboards from your sport or institute and app settings. 

My Data

Entering data is easy and can become a routine habit..

The AMS Athlete App is designed for fast entry of wellness and training records. Links have been setup to allow entry from each view. The yellow (+) icon is the easiest and fastest way to enter a new record.

Calendar view - allows you to see an entire month on one screen. Selecting a day will show any recorded wellness and training entries in a list view under the calendar.

Data Entry Forms

Once you hit the yellow plus button you can then select from the available list, what type of entry you would like to add.

Volleyball/Beach Volleyball have 2 forms:

Dashboards

Dashboards bring your data to life and can provide you with some great insights to your training and wellness.

Dashboards may contain training and well-being insights such as;
Summary Stats – over the last month or week see what you have achieved for that period.
Training Loads – view your last 7 days training and previous rolling weekly training loads.
Session Breakdowns - see what types of sessions you've been completing.
Wellness - view how your body is responding to your training volume.

Select from your available dashboard list..

When you first access the Dashboards section of the app you will be presented with a list of dashboards available to you from your State Academy/Institute and Volleyball Australia.
