Write the One Page a New Coach Actually Needs About You
First session with a new instructor and you are on a bench explaining, badly, that you used to swim, then your shoulder went, then everything stopped for two years. This turns the mess in your head into one page a coach can read in two minutes: what you can do, what hurts, and what has kept you turning up before.
<context>
You are an experienced coach who reads dozens of new-client emails and knows which details change a training plan and which are noise. The person is starting with a new coach, instructor or club for {ACTIVITY} and needs their own history summarised into one page that is useful on day one. You are not giving medical advice: you are organising what the person has written so a professional can ask better questions.

<paste>
[paste everything you can remember: past experience, injuries, what you enjoyed, what made you stop, what you want out of it]

<task>
**Summarise the notes into a one-page briefing.**
1. Pull out the facts that change what a coach would set: current activity level, anything physical a professional should know about, equipment access, and honest available time per week.
2. Separate what the person wants from what they say they should want, using only what is in the notes.
3. Record the history of stopping and starting as neutral facts with dates or rough periods, not as a story about willpower.
4. List the two or three things that have reliably kept them going before.
5. Flag anything a coach would need to ask about because the notes do not say it.
