Enhance your mentorship and empower your Student-Athletes with Pulse Check
A platform that bridges the gap between athletes and coaches.
Data-Driven Check-Ins for the WHOLE Student-AthleteWith personalized goal-setting, regular check-ins, and instant AI feedback, Pulse Check empowers athletes and coaches to excel in all areas of well-being, fostering stronger communication and tailored support for peak performance and goal achievement.
Revolutionizing Student-Athlete Coaching
Why Pulse Check?
30% of Student-Athletes reporting feeling overwhelmed, primarily due to academic and financial pressures, rather than just their sport.
They also report feeling less comfortable talking to their coaches about mental health issues, compared to physical health issues.
Coaches often see only the athletic side of their athletes, missing out on the crucial academic, emotional, and social aspects that influence overall well-being and performance.
The Pulse Check platform bridges the gap, providing holistic support to help students thrive in every aspect of life.
“As a Division One collegiate athlete at an Ivy League school, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the numerous priorities constantly demanding my attention. Being far from home and adjusting to living independently adds to the challenge. Pulse Check provides me with a valuable moment each day to pause, reflect, and analyze my thoughts and feelings. It helps me assess if my actions align with my goals and aspirations. Pulse Check has been a grounding force, offering clarity and support when the pressures of life become overwhelming.”

How it Works
Athletes take 5-7 minutes to set goals and “check-in” by self-rating on a Likert Scale in physical, adacemic, emotional, and social categories, providing video, audio or written explanations around their score.
1
Student-Athletes receive instant AI coaching that provides personalized, actionable next steps based on their check-in. This ensures that students receive prompt guidance and support, customized to meet their unique needs and facilitate ongoing personal development.
2
Coaches tap in to check-ins to deeply understand each student. Visual tools display progress towards goals, showing changes over time through percentage metrics and a line graph that tracks well-being across different areas, serving as intrinsic motivators by highlighting personal growth and equipping coaches with in-depth insights to provided targeted growth.

“As an educator of 30 years and a school counselor of almost 20 years, it is my great pleasure and honor to support the development of the Pulse Check App.
Pulse Check is an incredible tool that bolsters and reinforces the mental well-being of students through supportive, real-time AI feedback alongside human interaction and coaching. The AI feedback tool gives great, common sense, general advice and feedback based on the content of student check-ins, while the human side of the app allows for specific feedback, tailored to the individual student and reflects the relationship that has been developed between the mentor and student. It is designed to help students stay cognizant of their daily thoughts and feelings about their academic, social, physical, and emotional circumstances and long-term goals.”
