Annie, a former gymnast, developed her own mental health and wellbeing issues during her gymnastics career, prompting her to establish iNSPIRETEK. The company’s vision centers around offering a Wellness Management System (WMS) that emphasizes holistic wellbeing, beyond solely measuring performance and athletic achievements.
iNSPIRETEK’s WMS works by allowing athletes to engage in a daily check-in, giving a quick, 30-second assessment of their overall wellbeing. This information, which can be automated when combined with data from wearable devices, helps identify potential red flags that indicate areas of concern. The app also offers tailored content to athletes, addressing specific challenges related to sleep, nutrition, stress, and more. For sports governing bodies and coaches, iNSPIRETEK provides invaluable insights into an athlete’s wellbeing, enabling proactive support and early intervention. By catching potential issues early, athletes can receive guidance, resources, and open communication channels, fostering their mental resilience and enhancing their overall performance and quality of life.
iNSPIRETEK’s approach reflects a growing awareness of the significance of mental health in the athletic world. By combining technology and care, the company empowers athletes to flourish as individuals, safeguarding their mental and physical wellbeing throughout their careers.
