# Coaching

## Build this

Give each client a private space for notes and session dates, scoped so clients never see each other.

## Notion setup

* **Clients** with email for login
* **Sessions / Notes** related to Client
* Data Restriction on Sessions/Notes

## Screens to add

1. Client home **List** of their sessions/notes
2. **Details** for session notes / homework
3. **Calendar** of upcoming sessions (optional)
4. Coach/admin role with the full client list

## Build path (15–30 minutes)

1. [Private apps](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/private-apps)
2. [Data Restriction](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/data-restriction)
3. [Calendar view](https://docs.notionapps.com/screens-and-components/calendar-view)
4. [Roles and navigation](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/roles-and-navigation)
5. [View as any user](https://docs.notionapps.com/users/view-as-any-user)

## Optional upgrades

* Reminders before sessions — [Automation](https://docs.notionapps.com/automation)
* File homework uploads — [File upload](https://docs.notionapps.com/screens-and-components/type-of-components/file-upload)

## Common pitfalls

* Missing Data Restriction (clients see each other)
* Coach and client sharing the same navigation
* Testing only with View as

## Verify

1. Log in as Client A; confirm only A sessions/notes.
2. Log in as Client B; confirm isolation.
3. Coach role can still see all clients.
