Built for the Realities Governing Bodies Are Managing

• R1 was shaped by the challenges national and regional sport organizations face every day—uneven athlete readiness across programs, rising injury and dropout rates, increasing pressure on coaches and volunteers, and growing expectations to protect development while sustaining performance pathways.

• Rather than placing the burden on individual coaches, clubs, or families, R1 supports mind, body, and energy readiness through a shared, developmentally aligned framework—so system-level decisions better match what young people can safely tolerate and adapt to over time.

Several outcomes guide how R1 supports organizations and the environments they oversee:

Athlete Availability, Safety & Risk Reduction

R1 helps organizations better manage exposure and risk by making readiness patterns visible across teams and age groups. When athletes arrive better prepared—and early warning signs are clearer—systems experience fewer preventable injuries, less time-loss, and more consistent participation.

Pathway Consistency & Developmental Integrity

R1 supports alignment across clubs, schools, academies, and competitive levels. By grounding expectations in readiness rather than age or selection status, organizations reduce variability and protect long-term athlete development through transitions and progression points.

Habit Foundations That Support Performance

R1 reinforces the habits that underpin availability and adaptation—sleep, fueling, hydration, and recovery—without turning coaches into monitors or families into enforcers. Athletes build awareness of how daily behaviors affect readiness, resilience, and performance capacity over time.

Workforce Sustainability & System Load

R1 is designed to reduce strain on the system, not add to it. By supporting readiness upstream and absorbing short-term disruption, organizations place less pressure on coaches and volunteers, reduce reactive decision-making, and support sustainable delivery across programs.
