Coach Finder
If you are an EA Coach please make sure you have opted into the Coach Finder. Not every coach wants their details shared publicly, so you need to choose to opt in. If you do not opt in, your details will not show. If you can also add a logo or an image to your account, that would be amazing, as it looks so much better. The link to the Guide to help you if you are having trouble is HERE.
