The season in your head, the drills on paper
Many coaches I know plan well. The plan just lives in three places: the season structure in their head, the sessions in a Word file, the drills on index cards or photos of the tactics board. The assistant coach has his own version. The players find out at the boards what happens next.
HOLULA APEX stacks the three levels: season, session, drill. What you create once is there for every coach in the club and lands in the players' app.
Season in three steps
The generator asks you three things. First: how many weeks, from when, for which age groups. Second: which phases the season has, for example foundation, build-up, competition, with deload weeks in between. Third: which weekdays you train on and which template applies on which day. The preview does the maths: three days times eight weeks is 24 sessions. One click and they are in the calendar, for off-ice and on-ice training.
If you prefer to build by hand, you create sessions one by one or import them: the monthly calendar as PDF, the league fixture list as Excel, a finished practice plan as PDF. The app recognises duplicates.
Build every session
A session consists of phases: minutes, phase, content, key points. Warm-up 15 minutes, interval protocol 30, jump complex 25, cool-down 20. From your drill library you pull drills into the phases, with diagram. For strength sessions the app calculates working weights from the players' test values, as a percentage of their maximum.
Your own drill library
Drills belong to the club, not to whichever coach happens to be there. In the library they sit with description, key points, duration, category and diagram, private or shared with all coaches, synced live. You draw the diagram in the editor straight onto the rink: players, pucks, goals, cones, skating, passing and shooting lines in hockey notation, three rink templates. On request the AI writes a text suggestion from the diagram, which you approve or discard.
Drills from a PDF, such as a drill sheet or a finished practice plan, are read in by the app. A play from the playbook becomes a drill with one tap, and the other way round.
Reaching the team
Every session goes to the players as a PDF, by e-mail at the push of a button, individually or in bulk. In the player app the session shows date, venue and phases, plus "I'm coming" or "Can't make it". You see who has opened the plan, and on training day with one tap who is there. Attendance is matched against test values: how do players who come regularly develop? The correlation view shows it.
