Give every student a goal. Give every parent proof.

Students lose motivation when they can’t see how far they’ve come. Parents start questioning the fees when they can’t see it either. Outcoach gives every student a clear goal and shows families the progress after every session.

Why goals matter

Progress nobody can see is progress nobody pays for.

Your coaches know exactly where each student is at. Parents don’t. A quick chat at pickup is forgotten before the family gets home, and that’s when doubt creeps in. Written goals turn the work you already do into something families can follow.

Tracking progress, the usual way
  1. Each student’s level lives in a coach’s head
  2. Feedback is a quick word at pickup
  3. Parents wait a whole term for a report
  4. Students can’t feel how far they’ve come
  5. Parents start wondering if it’s worth it
  6. The student quietly drops out

Real progress, delivered every week, and no record of it anywhere.

With Outcoach

Set the goal. Update it after class. Parents see it the moment you save.

  • A written goal for every student
  • Progress updated session by session
  • Parents follow along in the app
  • Milestones backed by photo and video
The payoff

What goal tracking does for your business.

Goals aren’t extra admin. They’re how you keep students coming back, keep parents confident and show what every class is worth.

When a student loses interest halfway through term

Keep them enrolled

Students drop out when they can’t feel their own progress. A visible goal gives them a reason to come back next week, even when sessions get hard.

When a parent asks ‘is it actually working?’

Show them, don’t tell them

Parents see every goal, every update and every milestone in the app, without waiting for a progress report.

When you need to prove the value of a session

Keep a record of the work

Written goals and tracked milestones give coaches a documented record of their teaching, and give parents proof their money is well spent.

When a student finally nails it

Make the moment visible

Attach a photo or video to the goal right then. Progress stops being something families take on trust. They can see it for themselves.

How goal tracking works in Outcoach

Set it up once. Track it every session.

Build your goals once as templates, attach the practice that gets students there, and assign them in a click. Here’s how it works, screen by screen.

01Goal templates

Write a goal once. Give it to every student who needs it.

Turn the goals you set every term, like “Backhand, Level 1” or “Recitals”, into templates. Assign them in a click and see how each one is being used across your students.

02Create a template

A clear development path, with reminders built in.

Give the goal a name and a description so students know exactly what “done” looks like. Choose how often they’re reminded, who can see it and which practice tasks come with it.

03Action Library

Practice tasks you can reuse, so students work between sessions.

Goals are reached through practice. Save the tasks you set over and over, like “Recital practice, 1 hour a day”, and attach them to any goal template. Students get homework that actually moves them forward.

04Template details

Due dates that set themselves, the day you assign the goal.

Due dates are set relative to when a goal is assigned, so a student who joins in week six gets the same runway as one who started in week one. Open any template to see its goal, actions and students.

FAQ

Questions about goal tracking

Can’t see yours? Ask our team and a real person will reply.

Why do I need this if my coaches already know each student’s level?

Your coach knowing is great. But parents don’t, and that’s where doubt creeps in. When a parent can’t see what their child is working towards, they start to wonder whether the classes are worth it. Written goals give parents something to follow between sessions, give students something to aim for, and give you a documented record of the progress you deliver. That’s far more powerful than a conversation that’s forgotten by the time the family gets home.

Can parents see their child’s goals?

Yes, if you want them to. Each goal has visibility settings, so you can choose whether the student, the coach who set it and their parents can see it. Parents follow progress in the free Outcoach app.

Can I reuse the same goal for lots of students?

Yes. Save it as a goal template with its description, reminder, visibility and practice actions, then assign it to any student or group in a click.

How do due dates work on templates?

You set the due date relative to assignment, for example one week after the goal is given. Each student gets their own due date based on when they were assigned.

Can students get reminders to practise?

Yes. Every goal template has a reminder setting, from daily to monthly, so students are nudged to keep working between sessions.

Can I attach photos or videos to a goal?

Yes. Capture a milestone on your phone and attach it to the student’s goal, so parents can see the moment for themselves.

Can I set homework as well as goals?

Yes. Use the Action Library to save practice tasks and attach them to goal templates, or assign actions to one student or a whole group straight after class.

What if I don’t want to use goal tracking?

We recommend goals because they help retention and parent engagement. If you don’t think you’ll use them, contact us and we can work out a discounted price.

Do I have to pay extra for goal tracking?

No. Everything is included for one price, with no price hikes and no hidden costs.

What do you mean by ‘everybody gets access’?

Outcoach is a free mobile app for iPhone and Android. Parents and students download it and see their own upcoming classes, goals, progress, notes and invoices at any time. Parents love being more involved, which helps with engagement and retention.
