Strong Youth Project

The Strong Youth App is a companion app for high school sports teams as a part of the BYU Strong Youth Project. Athletes submit anonymous surveys about their pain, hydration, practice readiness, mental health, and other key performance indicators. Coaches and other authorized practitioners review team reports to stay informed about the overall health and needs of their teams.
