Our Mission
Address Recovery & Mental Health Gaps
Identifying and closing the gaps in support that schools don't know they have.
Support Female Athletes
Ensuring gender equity extends beyond participation into recovery, resources, and care.
Why We Started
Athletes face immense pressure—physically, mentally, and socially. Injuries go under-reported. Recovery is treated as optional. Mental health support is reactive, not built into the system.
Schools lack the structured systems to measure what athletes actually experience. Without data, they can't improve what they can't see.
SportCARE was created to change that. To give schools the tools to measure, understand, and improve the athlete experience—before problems become crises.
