A "milestone" athlete is one whose 🔥 streak or
🛡 session count hits a notable number this week.
Streak milestones: new-athlete = weeks since start (never missed); non-new = 10, 26, 52, 78, 104.
Counter milestones: 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200.
Option A — Soft yellow pill
Subtle background highlight; same icon + number; reads quickly without dominating.

Tradeoffs: Quiet and consistent. Same color whether the milestone is 10 or 200 — coach has to read the number to know how big a deal it is.
Option B — Tier-colored backgrounds
Bronze for early milestones (10, 25), silver for mid (50, 100), gold for big (150, 200 / 52+ wk).

Tradeoffs: Communicates tier at a glance — coach sees gold and knows it's a big one. Cost: more visual noise; bronze/silver are subtle in dark mode.
Option C — Icon swap (trophy / medal)
No background. The icon itself changes: 🔥 → 🏆 for streak milestone, 🛡 → 🏅 for counter milestone.

Tradeoffs: Zero added clutter (same footprint). The icon swap is the celebration. Risk: too quiet — a coach scrolling past might not register the icon change.
Option D — Top-left corner ribbon on the card
The whole card flags the milestone. Top-right stat cluster stays clean. Most prominent option.

Tradeoffs: Loudest signal — milestone is the first thing the eye finds on the grid. Cost: takes the top-left corner of the card and competes with the athlete name on small cards.
