Bring systematic injury prevention to your organization. BetterAthlete™ offers two pathways — platform-only for digital-first screening, or the full Everyday Athlete pilot program with on-site delivery and clinical support.
The Problem
Young athletes suffer a significant injury each season — most of which are preventable with early detection and intervention.
The estimated annual cost of youth sports injuries in the US. Prevention is exponentially less expensive than treatment.
Of youth athletes who suffer serious injury never return to competitive play at the same level. Early prevention changes this.
Does This Look Familiar?
Parents are pulling kids from practice. Coaches are frustrated but flying blind. Your best players are sitting out the most important games of the season — and no one can tell you why it keeps happening or how to stop it. Most clubs don't know what their injury picture actually looks like until it's already a crisis. Here's what it looks like when a club finally turns the lights on.

Club-Wide Health Summary
BetterAthlete gives every coach, division head, and club manager a real-time view of athlete health across every team — and the prescription to reverse the trend before parents start pulling kids or your best players sit out the playoffs.

Two Paths Forward
Path A
Digital-first athlete screening and monitoring at scale. Your athletes complete assessments at home or practice, with centralized team dashboards for coaches and administrators.
Path B · The Complete Solution
Platform access PLUS on-site delivery with Tomas and the Everyday Athlete® team. Full assessment kits, clinical staff presence, hands-on athlete training, and ongoing support for your entire program.
What You Get
Systematic screening and prevention protocols reduce injury incidence by up to 50% — the FIFA 11+ evidence base.
Early detection of injury risk factors means athletes are protected before they get hurt — not after they're sidelined.
Prevention protocols improve movement quality, stability, and athletic capacity — happier, more confident athletes.
Demonstrate that your organization takes athletic health seriously. Data-backed injury prevention builds trust with families.
Share athlete health data with coaches, trainers, PTs, and physicians. One source of truth for every athlete's movement profile.
Season-over-season injury tracking and outcome reporting demonstrate the impact of your athletic development program.
Who It's For
Youth Soccer
Elite Youth Club · U13–U16 Girls · NYC Metro
The Challenge
Eastfield's technical director kept seeing the same pattern — talented players dropping out mid-season with hamstring strains, ankle sprains, and knee issues. No pre-season screening existed. Coaches had no way to know which athletes were walking into the first training session already at elevated risk.
The Approach
The club deployed BetterAthlete™ as a pre-season screening baseline for all 80 players across four age groups. The platform's GYR classification flagged 14 athletes as Yellow and 3 as Red before a single ball was kicked. Coaches adjusted training loads and added prevention protocols for flagged athletes, while parents received individual athlete health reports for the first time.

Lacrosse
Private School Program · Varsity & JV · NYC
The Challenge
Lacrosse's combination of acceleration, deceleration, and contact creates a specific injury profile — hamstring strains, ankle instability, and shoulder issues dominate. Kingsbridge's athletic director wanted a systematic way to identify which athletes were susceptible before contact drills began, and how to demonstrate due diligence to the school's board and parents.
The Approach
BetterAthlete™ was deployed with the Everyday Athlete assessment kit during a dedicated two-day pre-season screening window. Force platform and eccentric strength testing identified asymmetries across 52 athletes. The school's ATC used the dashboard in real-time during return-to-play decisions mid-season, replacing the previous paper-based clearance process.

Girls Volleyball
Club Program · U14–U18 Girls · NYC Metro
The Challenge
Girls volleyball carries one of the highest ACL injury rates in youth sport — driven by repetitive jump-land mechanics and rapid deceleration. Ridgeline's coaches noticed the same athletes re-aggravating ankle and knee issues season over season, but had no objective data to guide training modifications or flag athletes for early intervention. The club needed a solution that could screen a large squad efficiently without disrupting practice time.
The Approach
BetterAthlete™'s jump load and landing mechanics screening was deployed across Ridgeline's three age groups. Athletes completed digital functional assessments that flagged valgus collapse and landing asymmetry patterns — the primary ACL risk factors in volleyball. Coaches integrated Green/Yellow/Red status into their weekly training load decisions, and Red-tier athletes were referred for supplementary movement coaching before returning to full training.

For Parents
Most parents find out something is wrong when their child is already hurt — or when the injury has been quietly building for months. BetterAthlete changes that. It gives you visibility into your child's health in real time, and puts you in genuine communication with their coach and trainer around the things that matter: sleep, recovery, training load, and readiness. Not just results. The whole picture.
The parent portal shows you your child's daily readiness score, sleep patterns, recovery quality, and injury risk classification — updated daily. You see the same picture the coach sees. No more waiting until something goes wrong to find out there was a warning sign.
Sleep, hydration, and recovery aren't just things you nag about at home — they're tracked metrics that directly affect your child's risk score in BetterAthlete. When the coach sees that sleep is down or recovery is poor, they adjust training load and send a note. The message that used to come only from you is now coming from the coach too. That matters to a teenager.
The parent portal includes a structured communication channel with your child's EA trainer — tied to specific data points, not general status updates. Ask about a flagged readiness score. Get context on a modified training day. Receive updates after assessments. It's efficient, specific, and grounded in the same data everyone else is looking at.
What You See In The App
Recovery Trend
Sleep and recovery scores improving consistently over 3 weeks. Lifestyle habits showing positive pattern.
"Maya had a great protocol session today — hip stability work is showing real improvement. Her compliance has been excellent this week. I'll keep Thursday as a recovery day before Saturday's match."
"Just a reminder — her force deficit is still in Yellow range. Extra sleep this week will directly support the strength gains we're targeting. She knows this too."
Daily readiness score, risk classification (Green / Yellow / Red), HRV, sleep quality, recovery trends, protocol task completion, and messages from your child's EA trainer. You see a curated parent view — not the full clinical data, but the information that tells you how your child is actually doing day to day.
Both. The EA trainer sees the full athlete dashboard every session and uses it to make real-time training decisions: modifying load, assigning recovery days, or escalating to a PT if a risk flag persists. You're looking at the same underlying data from a parent view — so when the trainer makes a call, you understand why.
Sleep quality and duration, recovery score, daily readiness, hydration logging, and training load management. These aren't lifestyle lectures — they're tracked metrics that feed directly into your child's injury risk score. When sleep drops, risk goes up. The data makes that connection visible to your child, their coach, and you.
Yes. The parent portal includes a structured messaging channel with your child's EA trainer — tied to specific sessions or data flags. You're not just sending a text; you're communicating in the context of what the app is showing. Responses typically come within 24 hours and are specific, data-grounded, and actionable.
Yes — HIPAA-compliant, medical-grade encryption. Data is role-based: athletes control who can view their profile. Parents with authorized access see the parent view. No data is shared with third parties. Your child's health profile is theirs.
Paper injury forms capture what already happened. BetterAthlete predicts what's likely to happen — and intervenes before it does. The platform measures the asymmetries and strength deficits that precede injury by weeks or months, and triggers protocol responses before those patterns lead to time off the field.
