How To Build A Standout OG1 Profile In 5 Minutes or Less

Kickstart your OG1 profile by completing these 4 tasks

Your Setup Guide checklist is the right first move. These four tasks create the “above-the-fold” experience that shapes a viewer’s first impression.

1) Add a Profile Image

Goal: Make your profile instantly human and credible.

Best practices:

• Use a clear head-and-shoulders photo with good lighting.

• Wear what you’d wear to represent your program/staff professionally.

• Keep the background simple (sideline, gym, field works great—just avoid clutter).

• Pick an image that still looks like you today.

Quick self-check:

• If someone only saw your profile photo + name, would they trust they found the right person?

  
  

2) Add a Banner Image

Goal: Set context fast and show your world.

Best practices:

• Choose an image that reinforces your identity (program, sport, environment, action shot, stadium, film room, recruiting visit, etc.).
  Avoid banners with lots of tiny text—cropping across devices can cut it off.

• Think “brand backdrop,” not “flyer.”

Pro tip:

• If you’re currently between roles, use a banner that signals your craft (practice field, clinic, whiteboard, training) rather than a specific team logo.

  
  

3) Add a Personal Statement

Goal: Deliver your “who I am + what I do” in 5–10 seconds.

A strong personal statement is:

• Short (typically 1–3 tight sentences)

• Specific (sport, level, specialty)

• Impact-oriented (what you’re known for / what outcomes you drive)

Simple formula: Role + specialty + outcome + values

Examples:

• “Quarterbacks coach focused on decision-making, protection ID, and weekly game-planning that translates to efficient offense and confident leadership.”

• “Strength & conditioning coach building durable, explosive athletes through progressive systems and culture-first accountability.”

• “Recruiting coordinator known for relationship-first pipelines, organized evaluation processes, and clear communication with families and staff.”

  
  

4) Add a Biography

Goal: Tell the full story—credibly, quickly, and in your own words.

Your bio should answer these questions:

• What have you done—and where?

• What do you believe (philosophy/approach)?

• What proof backs it up (results, development, wins, impact)?

• What are you open to next (roles, collaborations, speaking, consulting)?

A high-performing bio structure:

1. Now: your current role + what you’re focused on

2. Track record: 2–5 career highlights (teams/levels/roles)

3. Expand your Philosophy: how you coach/lead/develop

4. What’s next: what opportunities you’re open to + ideal fit

5. Call to action: how to reach you / what you’d love to talk about

Keep it skimmable:

• Short paragraphs

• Occasional bullets for highlights

• Strong opening line
