Or gets hurt. Or breaks down. R1 moves that signal upstream – so you can see what's happening across Mind, Body, and Energy before it becomes a crisis.
He didn’t say anything on the drive home. He used to replay every play. Now he just looks out the window. I asked if he was okay. He said yes. I didn’t believe him, but I didn’t know what else to ask.
You’re already paying attention. R1 gives you something worth paying attention to – and the tools to do something about it.
You notice the quiet car ride home. The excuses before practice. The injury that didn’t quite heal. Something’s off – but you can’t see what’s underneath, and neither can anyone else.
A few simple questions, every morning. R1 turns what you already sense into something you can see – across Mind, Body, and Energy. If something shifts, you see it when it starts.
You know they’re ready – not because they said so, but because you can see it. Fun, confidence, and belonging are what keep children in sport. There is no “bad” readiness state. R1 doesn’t judge – it illuminates.

Without R1, the dip looks like disengagement. With R1, it looks like what it is – a child who needs patience, not pressure.
Every child dips. Most systems don’t notice. R1 does – and stays with them through it.
Parents get the most complete view in the system – because you’re the one who needs it most.
Not a score to obsess over. A readiness snapshot that updates daily and helps you see what’s happening underneath the surface.
R1's privacy architecture puts parents in control from day one. Not as a setting buried in a menu – as a core feature.
Daily readiness, three-domain breakdown, trends, early warnings, and full privacy controls. The complete picture.
The readiness state and session-specific guidance. No raw scores, no domain data, no personal information. Clarity without access to sensitive data.
Overall readiness and zone badges. Age-appropriate language that's positive and never punitive. No clinical scores, no comparison to others.
R1 adapts to your child's age. The system respects their growing autonomy while keeping you connected.
You complete the daily check-in on behalf of your child. The questions are designed to be answered through observation, not interrogation.
Your child begins completing the check-in themselves. You still see the full picture and retain all privacy controls.
Your child owns the check-in. Their readiness, their autonomy. Still parent-linked until 18, but the system respects their independence.
Every child has the right to play at a level that matches where they actually are – physically, mentally, and emotionally.

That’s not an aspiration. It’s a right, endorsed by more than 500 organisations, athletes, and governments. R1 is the first system that can tell you whether your child is actually receiving it.
R1 is nearly ready – philanthropic support now will make it deployable within weeks. When it launches, we’ll meet families wherever they are: app stores, club registration portals, links in emails from the organisations they already trust. We’re building every on-ramp we can so no family has to go looking for it.
