How it works

See it. Understand it. Act on it.

R1 reads Mind, Body, and Energy continuously and delivers the guidance, programming, and habit support each person needs to act on it. Parents. Coaches. Athletes. Same picture, different role, different action.

The three pillars

One athlete. Three dimensions.

No single measure captures readiness. R1 assesses Mind, Body, and Energy as an integrated system because each one shapes how the others perform.

Mind Confidence, focus, resilience, and motivation. The lowest subdomain governs the response. R1 builds the mental skills to raise it.
Body Seven movement patterns scored by AI-powered movement screening. Competency is confirmed before intensity is introduced. R1 addresses deficits through targeted movement programming.
Energy Sleep, fueling, hydration, and recovery tracked daily. When Energy drops it affects everything. R1 builds the habits that restore it.

How R1 works

Minutes, not hours.
A window, not a test.

Daily inputs across Mind, Body, and Energy reveal where the athlete is today. Ready to execute the plan or needing to prime readiness first. R1 adapts to the daily ebb and flow. Consistency across both states is what moves readiness forward.

Parent-guided

R1 was built for parents. They easily report their child’s daily habits and get a readiness signal they can use to ensure their child develops to their potential.

Self-directed

Young athletes access R1 directly and learn from an early age what readiness feels like and how to build it.

What happens next: readiness becomes action.

R1 converts daily habits into a readiness signal that supports both parenting and coaching decisions.

Coaches don’t interpret data. They receive actionable guidance applied directly to their daily practice.

Readiness states

A journey, not a judgment.

Every athlete moves through three readiness states. None of them is “bad.” The cycle is how readiness works. R1 makes it visible and helps build the confidence and capability to sustain it.

Each domain scores into a zone. The zones combine to produce the athlete's Meta-State.

Rebuilding
Build
Rebuilding state

Demand is outpacing capacity across one or more domains. The plan adjusts to restore readiness. Not a red flag. The system working as designed.

Rising
Grow
Rising state

Capacity is emerging. The system opens the window carefully. Coaches stretch without overwhelming. Parents see progress in real terms. This is where development happens.

Ready
Flow
Ready state

Confident, capable, recovering well. All domains aligned. The system doesn’t just produce this state, it protects it. Coaches are guided to perform, not overload.

Readiness may cycle gradually during growth. That’s natural, not a problem. The system registers these transitions so no one is caught off guard.

Inside the app

What the states look like in your hand.

Each domain rolls into a Meta-State. The child can see it. The parent can read it. The coach can act on it.

Privacy by design

One system. Three views.

Every user sees what they need, framed for how they think. The privacy architecture isn’t a policy. It’s a feature.

Parent

The full picture
  • Daily readiness state and zone
  • Three-domain breakdown (Mind, Body, Energy)
  • Trend visibility over time
  • Early warning signals
  • Full privacy controls

Guidance is calibrated to how you show up for your child, not just what your child is doing.

Parents control what coaches and organizations can see.

Coach

Readiness state only
  • Team roster with readiness badges
  • Session-specific guidance per athlete
  • No raw scores or domain data
  • No personal or sensitive information

Session guidance reflects your coaching style, not just the athlete’s state.

Coaches get clarity without the burden of clinical data.

Athlete

Their state, programming, and tools
  • Overall readiness state
  • Daily programming and fun workouts to build athleticism
  • Tools to enhance confidence and understand fueling habits
  • No clinical language or comparison to others

The language is age-appropriate, positive, and never punitive.

See readiness in action.

R1 is currently in pilot with the first cohort of athletes. The national study will enroll up to 100,000 children across a variety of sports.
