Manage the temperature log with YouCoachApp

 
Summary
YouCoachApp has a new feature created to meet the requirements of the new regulations against COVID-19: this feature enables temperature logs to be digitally archived and easily shared via e-mail.

Recent guidelines related to the epidemiological context suggest that soccer coaches, team managers and soccer clubs' staff members should introduce a series of useful measures in order to prevent the spread of the virus, as listed here.

Among these suggestions is checking the temperature of the players attending a practice. These measures often increase the coaches' workload and this can lead to mistakes and inaccuracies.

For this reason YouCoach came to the rescue of soccer coaches and clubs by creating an easy-to-use digital tool. It's the new feature called "COVID-19" in YouCoachApp that helps with the temperature logs: the digitalization of this procedure makes it easier, archivable and easily sharable with managers and staff if necessary.

This is how the temperature log works.

 

HOW TO ENABLE THE FEATURE (1)
For soccer coaches that are subscribed to YouCoachApp
 
If you are a YouCoachApp subscriber, the new feature is already enabled and available on the app. 
 
HOW TO ENABLE THE FEATURE (2)
For Clubs, coaches that are staff members of a team managed by a Club, and all staff members
 
The feature needs to be enabled by the account manager. 
If you are a coach, remember to give each staff member permission to put in those data; if you are a club manager, remember to enable this feature for all your teams' coaches. 
 
To give permission, follow these steps:
  • Settings
  • Staff members
  • Click on the name of the coach/staff member
  • Check the box for this permission

REGISTER "COVID-19 MANAGER" E-MAIL ADDRESS

YouCoachApp "COVID-19" feature can authenticate your temperature log via e-mail. 

In order to keep record of temperature screenings we created a form where you can put in the e-mail address of the person in charge for COVID prevention measures. Go to:

  • Settings
  • COVID-19
  • Enter the e-mail address to which temperature logs will be sent
  • Click on Save to register the address.

Enter the e-mail address on YouCoachApp

 


 

ASSOCIATE THE LOG TO AN EVENT 
(MATCH, PRACTICE OR OTHER EVENT)
At this point you can start entering your data.
You can find the "Temperature Screening" feature on the main app menu; click on “COVID-19” to see the summary screen.
Create an event on YouCoachApp
 
 
From this screen you can select the event for which you want to register the temperature log:
  • access to past events of the last 30 days or to scheduled upcoming events: use this feature if you already created training sessions or matches in YouCoachApp and you need to go directly to the data entry screen. 
  • create a new generic event (a meeting, for example) stating when it will be held (date and time), giving it a general description and selecting players who will participate.

COLLECT DIGITAL MEASUREMENTS
 
Once you clicked on the event, the app creates the list of participants:
  • click on Edit at the bottom of the page to enter players' temperatures
  • click on Temperature table column next to each player's name to enter the temperature: the app will automatically flag if a player has a fever 
  • once the list is complete, you need to click on Save.

Access granted or denied with high body temperature


SHARE THE REPORT VIA E-MAIL TO AUTHENTICATE THE TEMPERATURE LOG
 
The digital log is automatically saved on the app so there is no risk to lose it; if necessary, it can be downloaded by clicking on "Download as PDF". 
 
Send the report via e-mail
 
The real added value of this feature is the button "Send report by e-mail" which sends to the person in charge for COVID prevention measures an e-mail with the temperature logs as an attachment. 
 
 
 

Helping soccer coaches is one of YouCoach core values.
We hope that this new feature will help all coaches to better manage these difficult times.
