Throughout the US, student athletes struggle to balance athletic training and academic pursuits. Research has shown that athletes who do so successfully are better at time management and prioritization. Building on educational research, growth mindset and distributed cognition, this app helps high school athletes develop the aforementioned skills and harness concepts of mastery developed through their sport. Given that less than 2% of NCAA college athletes go pro, enabling students to surmount not only short-term academic hurdles, such as standardized tests, but also other academic and non-academic challenges, would help them succeed in life and in their careers.
