How it works
Everything Arcqtype will do for you, in order.
The same tour Coach gives every new athlete in the app — here as a reference you can read at your own pace. Jump to a chapter:
Welcome
- Welcome to ARCQTYPE
Your best shot starts here — training, recovery, recruiting, and a Coach that knows your game in one place.
- Build From Where You Are
Whether you're starting blank or bringing an existing plan, begin with what you have, verify it, and build the missing pieces into a complete plan. You can change your details later.
Today
- Today's Overview
See today's training, nutrition, workout, PT, and recovery tasks together in this overview.
- How Today Flows
Start with the day-wide picture, then move through each section in order before opening the session and readiness details.
- Your Week at a Glance
Each block is a day of training. Green means done; gray means up next.
- Four Rings, One Day
Training, Nutrition, Recovery, and PT put your whole day in one glance. Close the rings by doing the work.
- Your ARQ Score
ARQ is your athlete rating — a current view of where you stand that can be shown to peers and recruiters. When a prior snapshot exists, an arrow shows the change; select the score for the full breakdown.
- Fair to Earn. Trustworthy to Show.
ARQ is designed to be fair to earn and trustworthy to show. Its pillars use the strongest available tracked and source-backed signals, with the evidence strength made clear.
- What the Asterisk Means
When an asterisk appears, the score is provisional because some evidence is still unverified. Stronger source checks move evidence up the verification ladder and can remove that mark.
- Log a Meal From Today
Nutrition starts with no logged breakfast in this walkthrough. Enter your own meal and macros, then use the real Save action so the result comes from what you logged.
- Your Logged Meal
This Nutrition card is the durable readback of the meal you just logged. The logged count and macros reflect your athlete-authored entry, not the plan target.
- Dig Into a Section
Select Training to see today's session up close.
- Start the Generated Session
Start Lift opens a training session from your current plan. It keeps the plan, site, and logged results connected instead of starting a separate workout.
- Where Are You Training?
Choose your real training site so Coach can account for the space and equipment you have today.
- Daily Readiness
Save your check-in now for the current day. This athlete-authored entry is separate from the explicitly synthetic demo history used to give the seven-day recovery card context.
- Soreness Check-In
Set soreness on this readiness check before training. It adds recovery context without treating soreness as an injury diagnosis.
- Injury Risk Is a Signal
This recovery signal responds to the readiness information you entered. It is a reason to check in and adjust thoughtfully, not a diagnosis or an automatic stop order.
- Today Is Yours
You now know how Today connects the work planned for you with the training, nutrition, recovery, and PT actions you complete.
Calendar
- Welcome to Your Schedule
Start in Month, then move down into Agenda and Season for progressively wider views of what is ahead.
- Your Schedule
Every workout, school event, recruiting date, and game lives on this schedule.
- Games on the Calendar
Games from your uploaded schedule appear on their dates and in Season's GAMES lane, so training can adjust around competition.
- Read the Colors
The legend separates training, schedule, recruiting, and personal events at a glance.
- Select a Day
Open any date to see what's planned and log what you did.
- Post-Game Entry
After a completed game, open its date to add the post-game result and stats. Those verified results can feed your ARQ evidence.
- Agenda
Agenda lines up the next 30 days in order, so you can scan what is coming without opening each date.
- Your Next 30 Days
This ordered list combines workouts, games, school, recruiting, and personal events into one chronological scan.
- Season
Season zooms out to your full training block — phases, weeks, games, and school commitments on one timeline.
- Season Lanes
The Season lanes keep phases, weeks, and games in context. On a scheduled game date, Today becomes Game Day with the matchup, countdown, fueling, and warmup together.
- Season, Week, and Phase
One roadmap card combines the season identity, current week, active phase, and the phase timeline so the whole block reads as one plan.
- Your Current Week
Within that same card, the current-week marker pinpoints where you are now without introducing a second summary surface.
- Sessions This Week
Your sessions are organized across the week, with today's work and its source shown first.
- My Plan
The same roadmap you already learned is one select away from Calendar whenever you need the full plan.
Coach
- Welcome to Coach
Coach is your personal guide across the app. Every answer uses your sport, position, goals, and stats to help you move forward.
- Your Coach History
History keeps your earlier Coach conversations together, so you can return to past guidance before starting something new.
- Suggested For You
These suggested prompts are tailored to what Coach knows about you.
- From Blank to a Complete Plan
Start with what you already have. Coach helps verify it and fills only the gaps you approve until your plan is complete.
- Bring Your Documents
Use + to upload a document, photo, or video. Coach starts with the evidence you already have, helps verify it, and only then generates what is missing for your plan.
- Speak to Coach
Use the microphone when saying it is faster than typing. Coach turns your voice into an editable message you can review before sending.
- Generate the Gaps
When something is missing, Coach can generate the next piece and place it in My Plan for you to review.
- Select the Message Bar
Select the message bar. This Coach tip will ride with it as the keyboard rises.
- Try a Useful Prompt
Copy "\(prompt)" below, then paste it into the message bar.
- Send It
Hit send when your prompt is ready. You can always edit the wording first.
- I'm On It
My real reply will stream into this thread. When the training proposal appears, review it before moving on.
- Coach Inbox
Open your Inbox here to review Coach updates, pending actions, and past conversations — even when nothing is waiting.
- Save Your Training Plan
Coach drafted a real weekly training plan. Select Save; the progress bar stays here while your mesocycle and schedule are built.
- Your Roadmap Is Ready
Your training roadmap is ready. Review the plan here, then build nutrition next.
- Build Your Nutrition Plan
Select Build nutrition, send the prepared prompt, then select Save on Coach’s proposal. Your meal plan is ready when the confirmation appears.
- Add Your Season Schedule
Use + then Files to choose your season schedule. Upload now or cancel and continue; games appear after a schedule is saved.
- See Where It Landed
Select View on the saved nutrition receipt. My Plan is where your workout and nutrition plans live.
My Path
- Your Path Forward
Set goals, manage recruiting, find resources, and see your standing against your peers.
- Goals
Goals turn your next priorities into a clear training path.
- Your Nearest Goal
Nearest Goal keeps the next meaningful milestone and its next action in front of you, so the full journey never feels abstract.

- Open Recruiting
Select Recruiting to open your schools, Coach intel, and alerts.
- Recruiting
Recruiting keeps your schools, alerts, and outreach together.
- Where You May Fit
Start with Recruiting Probability to see where your current verified profile may fit. It is separate from your broader Readiness and changes as the evidence changes.
- Transfer Portal
Transfer Portal tracks the current window and relevant movement before the rest of your recruiting tools, so you do not miss a time-sensitive change.
- Recruiting Alerts
Recruiting alerts surface new schools, openings, and timely updates.
- Compose Outreach
Outreach helps you draft a clear school-specific message using the profile and evidence you have already reviewed.
- Keep the Contact Log
The outreach log keeps sends, replies, and follow-ups in one timeline so the relationship does not depend on memory.
- Your Recruiting Campaign
Campaign organizes the longer recruiting workflow into reachable actions, from building a school list through follow-up.
- Your Eligibility Snapshot
Where You May Fit summarizes your current verified profile against college-level eligibility. It guides your next recruiting steps; it does not guarantee a destination.
- Select a School
Select a school to see coaches, contact windows, and how you fit.
- Resources
Resources helps you find and save the right places and people to train.
- Your Training Ecosystem
See verified places where Arcqtype athletes train, plus trainers and the wider support ecosystem around their development.
- Browse Facilities
Use Facilities to compare places by training focus, location, and the equipment that supports your plan.
- Saved Facilities
The facilities and training locations you save stay beside Resources for quick access when you need them.
- Check a Facility's Fit
A facility detail shows why the place may fit, what it offers, and whether you want to save it for later.
- Find Trainers
Browse trainers by the sport, skills, and development needs you want help with.
- Review Trainer Credentials
Trainer details keep credentials, focus areas, and contact information together before you decide to connect.

- Community
Community brings challenges, crews, leaderboards, achievements, and shareable progress together.
- Challenges
Challenges turn a shared training target into a bounded competition you can join and complete.
- Crews
Crews are training groups where you can create or join a crew, share progress, invite teammates, and use captain permissions to manage the group. They show the group as it is now.
- Leaderboards
Leaderboards compare standing with peer filters, so the comparison stays relevant to the group you choose.
- Achievements
Achievements mark specific milestones and show progress toward the next tier, not just a final badge.
- My Card
My Card is a shareable snapshot of your profile and progress. Review it before sharing so you control what represents you.
- Season Card
Season Card turns completed season results and achievements into a shareable recap once enough game evidence is available.
Profile
- This Is You
Your profile is the source Coach uses to personalize your training, scoring, and recruiting guidance.
- ARQ, Here It Is Again
The ARQ score you saw on Today appears here again as part of your profile. It tracks where you stand now and updates as stronger evidence is verified.
- Position Score
This real position score organizes the verified inputs that show how you compare at your position and what to improve. Its full explanation comes later.
- Scheme Fit
Scheme Fit sits beside your scores to show where your position and playing traits align with a system when that evaluation is available.
- Your Goals
Your goals tell Coach what your plan is building toward, from development to recruiting.
- Your Focus
Your focus sets the training priorities Coach emphasizes as your plan adapts.
- Your Bio Becomes the Story
Your bio gives recruiting materials a clear athlete voice. Keep it specific to what you play, value, and are building toward.
- How Stats Reach Your Profile
Supported source links include MaxPreps, Hudl, GameChanger, Athletic.net, and Perfect Game. Supported screenshots and PDFs go through review and Apply; combine and strength measurables can use the governed athlete-report path. Game and season counting stats remain evidence-only, not ordinary manual-entry fields.
- Combine Metrics
Supported Perfect Game radar or combine screenshot evidence enters through the stats-screenshot or Documents flow. Review the extracted values, select Apply, then find them in Profile → Metrics → Combine Metrics. Only supported evidence can populate this surface.
- Body-Metric History
Body metrics keep their history so one new measurement does not erase the development trend behind it.
- Preview Your Recruiting CV
Your logged work becomes stored profile and History evidence. Preview My Profile opens the recruiting CV you review before sharing; Settings controls your account and app preferences.
- Your Stats Surface
Stats brings your current performance evidence, connected sources, game history, and metric drill-downs together. Reviewed uploads add verified values after you approve them.
- Verified and Provisional Stay Distinct
Applied, source-backed results can be verified. A completed-game report through Coach stays provisional and never verified, so it cannot stand in for combine evidence or score proof.
- Upload a Stats Screenshot
Select the upload card and choose a screenshot or document. Arcqtype extracts values and their source for your review; nothing is applied until you approve it.
- Metrics
Metrics separates sport and combine measurables from body measurements. Testing evidence and health-history measurements remain distinct even though both live under Metrics.
- Evidence Sources
Supported source links, documents, and screenshots retain provenance and pass through review before an extracted value can be used.
- Review and Apply
The ready late-season schedule Addendum is the safe example for review, notes, and Apply. It stays pending here; the Documents chapter takes you through its real calendar-only approval flow.
- Where Applied Values Land
Applied values land on their owning surface. For the safe schedule example, Calendar shows the source-backed event while Documents retains the original source.
- Try a Transcript
Upload transcript and GPA documents into this same review inbox. This walkthrough leaves grade data unchanged and demonstrates approval with the calendar-only schedule Addendum instead.
- Know Every Document State
Ready for review means extraction is complete, Needs answers means Coach needs your input, and Applied means you approved where the verified values belong.
- Review a Schedule Before Apply
Open the ready Addendum, confirm its source filename and three dates, and try the Dates only note before returning to the review. Apply schedule writes only that calendar data.
- See Where the Schedule Landed
The real Apply receipt leads to Calendar’s Season timeline, where the late-season event remains linked to its source Addendum. Documents still keeps the original file.
- Your Originals Stay Yours
The lock marks your original source file. Review artifacts and approved values stay separate, so you can always distinguish the source from what was extracted.
Understanding your ARQ
- Score History
History shows how ARQ has changed across saved snapshots, so one current number always has its development context.
- Athletic Measurables
Verified sport testing and physical measurements describe the tools you bring to your position.
- Training Engagement
Tracked session completion shows how actively you engage with the work Coach gives you. It is an activity signal grounded in the sessions you complete.
- Training Consistency
Your tracked training history shows whether productive work is becoming a repeatable routine over time. It reflects the activity recorded across your sessions.
- Game Performance
Source-checked game results show how your performance translates when competition counts.
- Potential
Your age, development trend, and sport context frame where your game can grow next. Potential is not verified performance or a promised outcome.
- Verification Builds Trust
This section shows the next source-backed verification path when evidence is missing, or confirms the key sources already connected.
- How Verification Gets Stronger
The verification ladder describes evidence strength in plain stages: T0 is unverified, T1 is athlete-provided, T2 has supporting source evidence, and T3 is the strongest verified level.
- Your Weekly Refresh
Scores recompute weekly — Sunday at noon ET — so newly verified evidence can appear in the next refresh.
