The Problem
Sports coaches, whether you coach cycling, padel, running, strength and conditioning, or sports nutrition. You face a constant demand for free expert advice. Athletes want personalized guidance from top coaches but have no easy way to book and pay for a call. "Can I ask you a quick question about my training?" becomes 30 minutes of coaching advice given away.
Even worse, many coaches don't have a way to monetize knowledge outside of formal team coaching relationships or long-term programs. Athletes willing to pay for expert sessions have nowhere to book them. You're leaving revenue on the table because there's no frictionless payment system for paid coaching consultations.
The second problem: Managing payments manually is exhausting. You send invoices, chase payment, manage your own schedule. You're a coach and an accountant simultaneously.
Tinrate simplifies everything.
What Is Tinrate?
Tinrate is a Belgian expert-booking platform for coaching and expertise professionals. Athletes book, pay, and consult with you through one link. You set your rate, manage availability, and Tinrate handles scheduling, payment processing, invoicing, and payouts automatically. Athletes pay upfront. You get paid within 48 hours. No invoicing. No payment chasing.
How It Works
Step 1: Create Your Profile
Build your coaching profile highlighting your specializations: cycling coaching, padel training, running programs, strength and conditioning, sports nutrition, or athletic performance. Include your achievements and credentials.
Step 2: Set Your Availability
Block out times you're available for coaching sessions or consultations. Sports coaches typically offer 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute sessions depending on the format. You control your calendar.
Step 3: Share Your Link
One link. Add it to your website, Instagram, or send directly to athletes. They see your rate, availability, and specializations immediately.
Step 4: Athletes Book & Pay
Athletes click, select a session time, and pay via Bancontact, iDEAL, credit card, or Apple Pay. Payment happens before the session. Commitment is automatic.
Step 5: Video Coaching Session
Conduct your session via Tinrate's built-in video platform. You can coach athletes on training plans, nutrition, technique, race strategy, or performance optimization. Professional and straightforward.
