How To Build A Standout OG1 Profile In 5 Minutes or Less
Jan 11, 2026
2-3 Minutes
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:
Now: your current role + what you’re focused on
Track record: 2–5 career highlights (teams/levels/roles)
Expand your Philosophy: how you coach/lead/develop
What’s next: what opportunities you’re open to + ideal fit
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
