Independent Provider Disclaimer

Training4Athletes.com (“T4A,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an online platform that provides a searchable directory connecting athletes, parents, and sports enthusiasts with independent coaches, trainers, instructors, and other service providers (“Providers”). This disclaimer is intended to clarify the relationship between Training4Athletes.com and the Providers listed on our platform.

No Affiliation or Employment Relationship

All coaches, trainers, instructors, facilities, and other service providers listed on Training4Athletes.com are independent third parties. They are not employees, agents, contractors, partners, or representatives of Training4Athletes.com. The inclusion of any Provider in our directory does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, certification, or guarantee of any kind by Training4Athletes.com.

Providers are solely responsible for their own business operations, qualifications, credentials, certifications, insurance, conduct, and the services they offer. Any agreement or arrangement made between you and a Provider is strictly between you and that Provider. Training4Athletes.com is not a party to any such agreement and assumes no responsibility or liability for any services rendered or agreements made.

No Background Checks or Verification

Training4Athletes.com does not conduct background checks, credential verification, reference checks, or any other screening procedures on the Providers listed in our directory. We do not verify the accuracy of any information provided by Providers, including but not limited to:

• Professional certifications or credentials
• Coaching licenses or qualifications

• Employment history
• References or testimonials
• Insurance coverage
• Criminal history or background

The information displayed in Provider profiles is self-reported and has not been independently verified by Training4Athletes.com. We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information provided by Providers.

Your Responsibility to Vet and Screen Providers

Before engaging any Provider found through our platform, you are solely responsible for conducting your own due diligence and screening. We strongly encourage all users, particularly parents and guardians of minor athletes, to take the following steps:

• Verify credentials and certifications directly with the issuing organizations
• Request and contact references from other athletes, parents, or clients
• Conduct your own background check through appropriate services
• Verify current insurance coverage and request proof of liability insurance
• Meet in person before committing to any training arrangement
• Ask questions about their coaching philosophy, experience, and training methods
• Trust your instincts—if something doesn’t feel right, look elsewhere
• Observe a training session before enrolling yourself or your child
• Research online reviews and check for any complaints or disciplinary actions

For services involving minor children, we especially urge parents and guardians to exercise heightened caution and thorough screening before allowing any Provider to work with their child, whether in group or individual settings.
