She opens the link on her phone. About ten minutes later, she will have a clear read on her own body — and a plan she can act on. Whatever the result.
She will get a text or email from her parent, or from her club: "Tap this link when you have ten minutes and a flat space at home."
She taps. The screen explains what's coming. She will set her phone on a chair or against a wall, hit record, and run through a few guided movements. The on-screen prompts walk her through it. No coach in the room. No clinic visit. No equipment.
She will receive a report. Her report — not a number a coach interprets for her, not a chart a parent has to translate. Written so she can read it. A movement-quality score. A clear picture of what her body is doing well. A clear picture of what's drifting. A free prevention program tailored to what shows up.
If the screen catches something that needs a closer look, a sports medicine provider in the network steps in — at no cost where insurance or sponsor funding applies. She is not alone with the result.
That is what "Seen" will mean. She is the one with the data. She is the one making the decisions. Everyone around her — coach, parent, trainer, doctor — finally looking at the same picture she is.
Every girl will start with a rapid screen. If the results indicate elevated risk, she will be automatically guided into the full battery before any report is generated. This is how a 10-minute screen stays useful at the population level.
About 2-3 minutes
A small set of guided movements designed to catch the highest-yield risk patterns. The default screen for every athlete.
About 2-3 more minutes
Additional guided movements that add detail on cutting mechanics and bilateral symmetry. Triggered when Layer 1 patterns or the questionnaire suggest it.
If recommended
For athletes whose screen suggests it: a curated clinical evaluation with a sports medicine provider — at no cost where insurance or sponsor funding applies.
On-screen prompts walk her through each movement. A parent or coach holds the phone at a standard distance. The camera does the rest.
Dozens of biomechanical metrics across the movement tasks. Movement quality. Joint angles. Asymmetry between left and right. Control under load. The metrics evaluate several movement-risk domains derived from the validated screening literature.
A clear parent-friendly report. A movement-quality score. A risk tier. A breakdown of which patterns showed up. A free prevention program tailored to those patterns — whatever the result.
Strong movement quality. Continue with sport and follow the prevention program for ongoing protection.
Some movement patterns are worth attention. Follow the targeted prevention program. No clinical visit needed at this time.
Movement patterns suggest a clinical evaluation by a sports medicine provider within about two weeks. We'll help connect you to one.
Several elevated-risk patterns identified. A timely visit to a sports medicine provider — within about a week — is the right next step.
Findings suggest immediate clinical attention. The platform pauses training cadence until a provider has weighed in. We help route directly.
Every tier comes with a domain-level breakdown — which specific areas of movement quality showed up in the screen. The prevention program is tailored to those areas.
An Orange or Red tier triggers a curated next step — a recommendation to bring your daughter to a qualified sports medicine provider for a clinical assessment. Better Athlete is building a provider partner network across the country to make that next step easier; in the meantime, the report includes guidance any qualified sports medicine clinician can use, regardless of whether they are formally affiliated with the campaign.
A green result is not the end of the story. Movement-quality work compounds. Every athlete in the campaign — regardless of their tier — receives a free prevention program grounded in validated protocols.
A program tailored to the screen results, delivered via the screening platform. Short daily and weekly routines. Designed to fit alongside practice and play — not replace them.
The screen is the door. The Continuum is what's on the other side — a way to keep every girl in this campaign supported across her full athletic life.
If you're healthy now
You get a clear weekly read on how your athlete is doing — readiness, sleep, soreness, and a recommendation she can actually use. Free for the duration of the 100,000 Girls campaign.
If something flags
The system tells you, in plain language, what we're seeing. We help you find the right professional — PT, athletic trainer, sports-medicine doctor — through our network. We never diagnose; we never treat. We connect.
If she gets hurt
The Continuum becomes the spine of her recovery. Her PT, her surgeon, her coach, and you all see the same shared picture, updated as she progresses. Nine phases. Objective criteria at every step. Back to playing — and to a better baseline than before.
We are athletes for life. The Continuum is how we live that.
No. This is a screening tool. It identifies movement patterns associated with elevated injury risk and recommends a next step — either a prevention program or a clinical evaluation. Any diagnosis is the role of a qualified medical provider.
Yes. We work directly with schools and clubs to set up a screening window for an entire roster in one preseason week. Athletes screen on their own phones — there is no equipment to ship and no practice time to redirect. See the organization registration page.
Yes. Personal information is stored on industry-standard encrypted infrastructure. We collect only the data needed to deliver the screening and the report. We do not sell or share data with third parties. Aggregate, de-identified statistics may be reported as part of campaign outcomes.
Prior injury is one of the highest-risk factors for re-injury. A return-to-sport screen is even more important in that case. The protocol includes additional context capture for athletes with injury history.
Free during the campaign window. Sponsor funding covers the screening for every girl who participates. After the campaign, ongoing screening may be available through partnered clubs, schools, and providers.
Any iPhone or Android phone with a working rear camera, manufactured in roughly the last five years. The capture works in well-lit indoor or outdoor spaces. On-screen guidance walks her through framing and positioning.
The 100,000 Girls campaign is operated by Better Athlete. Better Athlete leads the technology, the screening operations, and the parent-facing reporting. The work is built to align with — and supports the public-health goals of — the National ACL Injury Coalition (the initiative formed by Hospital for Special Surgery and the Aspen Institute), the Aspen Institute's Project Play, and U.S. Soccer's Recognize to Recover initiative. Formal partnerships are in conversation; named partners will be announced as agreements are finalized.
