I'm working on an app that lets instructors set their own rates, locations, and schedules for lessons or group sessions (mountain biking, kayaking, snowboarding, running, football, etc.). Learners could find and book them easily. Nothing is built yet — I'm just trying to figure out if this solves real problems.

I love outdoor sports and I've seen how hard it is for freelance instructors to find steady clients and for people to find good coaches that fit what they want.
I'm exploring whether a simple marketplace app could help. No commitments, no app exists yet — just trying to learn from real coaches and athletes.
"Before I spend months building something nobody wants, I need to hear from you."
This is what I'm thinking — but I want to know what YOU actually need.
Freelance coaches could manage their business with flexibility:
Showcase your expertise, credentials, and coaching style
You control pricing, schedule, and session locations
Offer private sessions or group classes anywhere
Platform handles payments (keep ~85%, we take ~15%)
Athletes could find and book coaching easily:
Find coaches that match what you're looking for
See real-time availability and book with a few clicks
Group sessions cost less and build community
Upload videos and get technique insights
This is just an early concept
I need your input to know if I'm even on the right track. What would you change? What's missing? What sounds terrible?
Your opinion matters. I'm not selling anything — I just want to understand real challenges before I spend months building something nobody wants.
