π‘ Helpful Hint: Before updating or deleting a Professional Athlete profile, you can easily save the existing information by copying all the text from the profile section and pasting it into an Excel or Google Sheet for future reference.
β οΈ Note: If the combined character count across fields exceeds ~1000, it may trigger a new page, potentially disrupting the layout.
β Best Practice: Keep each content section under 500 characters to maintain consistent layout formatting and ensure Q&A entries do not exceed 6.
Create Additional Athlete Profiles
Click the Create button at the top-right of the page and fill in the required fields.
Delete Athlete Profiles
Click the Delete button next to the edit button for any profile.
This will remove the profile from the Achievement Book, though families will still see event results for their athletes.
