Seen. Strong.TM 100,000 Girls
Press

For journalists and media partners.

The 100,000 Girls campaign is the largest population-scale movement-screening initiative ever launched for youth female athletes. The story is bigger than any single screen.

The Story

What this campaign is.

Seen. Strong. is the public face of a 2026 mission: deliver a free, phone-based movement screen to 100,000 girls between the ages of 11 and 22 during the FIFA Women's World Cup window. It is operated by Better Athlete and informed by twenty-five years of assessment-first training methodology. The data the campaign produces will inform the science, the screening protocols, and the prevention infrastructure for youth athletics for the next decade.

Why now

ACL injury rates among young female athletes have risen 26 percent since 2007. One in five youth coaches has watched an athlete on their team go down. The Women's World Cup year is the largest cultural moment ever assembled for the female athlete. The infrastructure to act on what we already know exists; the will to deploy it does. This is the deployment.

What we are doing differently

Free. Phone-based. Population-scale. Triage-oriented, not diagnostic. Designed for the families and clinicians who are already working with these athletes — not as a replacement, but as a connective layer.
