We all want more athletes, right? Of course we do! We want to have teams that make sense for every athlete, and athletes to help out when someone can’t fulfill their commitments on a team.
But what most people forget about is – without great athlete retention – it’s impossible to grow our gyms. You can keep spinning your wheels bringing in new athletes, day in and day out, but you’ll never truly grow.
So, first – I want you to take a moment to calculate your retention rate for rec athletes. Most of our class management systems don’t have an easy button for this, so you may have to do what I do: Pull a drop report and average the days.
So today, calculate that and post in the group what your rate is. You’re looking for the average number of days an athlete is registered in your program (rec only).
I’m curious where we all are in comparison. I’ll average all of our answers and post the total in the group next wee!
