Problem:

In my site there are two different user types I'm building pages for. Athletes and Trainers.

Athletes have a Trainer associated. I've added a usermeta field to the athletes called "trainer_id" which has the ID of the assigned trainer.

I was intending to create a view which displayed the trainer for the current logged in user, but I can't work out how as it seemed like the relationships work the wrong way.

Solution:

You can use Types shortcode to get current logged-in user's field value, for example:
[types usermeta='trainer_id' current_user='true'][/types]

Then pass it to below user view as shortcode attribute:
