# Creating and managing athlete profiles

> Create and manage your roster of athletes in the web app

There are two ways to add athletes to your Uplift roster: from the web platform (best for adding your full roster or bulk-managing athletes), or on the fly from the Uplift Capture mobile app while starting a session.

## Add and manage athletes from the web platform

1. Log into [platform.uplift.ai](https://platform.uplift.ai/) and click **Athletes** in the left-hand navigation menu.
2. Click **Add Athlete** in the upper right, then enter the athlete's name.
3. The rest of the fields aren't required, but we **highly** recommend filling out:
   * **Height and weight** (under Physical Attributes) - these improve the accuracy of certain metrics.
   * **Competition level** (under Athletic Information) - this is used to compare the athlete against their peer group in Signals.
4. Click **Add Athlete** to save. The athlete now appears in the athlete list on this page.

To update or remove an athlete later, find their row in the athlete list, click the **three dots** at the end of the row, then choose either:

* **Update Athlete** - to edit their information or attributes, or
* **Delete** - to remove the athlete's profile from your account.

## Add an athlete from the mobile app

You can also add a new athlete directly while setting up a capture session:
