ThriveNudge: Support Your Team’s Mental Health

ThriveNudge is a mobile platform for student athletes and coaches that fosters mental well-being, improves communication, and strengthens team culture. Built on the idea that awareness leads to action, ThriveNudge uses privacy-first AI to turn check-ins and journals into clear, actionable trends so teams can stay connected and proactive about wellness.

Individual entries are private. Coaches see only aggregated, anonymous trends.

Core features:

Athlete journaling and mood tracking:

Athletes record brief reflections in a private space. AI-assisted analysis produces anonymous team-level sentiment so coaches can see patterns without viewing individual entries.

Weekly check-ins with visualized trends: A one-minute weekly check-in creates a personal trend line for each athlete. Coaches see team-level trends to understand patterns and make timely adjustments.

Team dashboard: A concise view of team sentiment and anxiety trends that supports planning for communication, training load, and referrals when appropriate.

Coach SimChat: Interactive scenarios where coaches practice communication skills for common situations, such as low motivation or performance stress.

Coach feed: A moderated space to share approaches, ask questions, and learn from peers.

Why athlete mental health matters Healthy minds support consistent performance, stronger relationships, and positive sport experiences. Many student-athletes manage stress that is not always visible. ThriveNudge lowers barriers to checking in, encourages early support, and helps teams create a caring, responsive environment.

Try it with your team: Pilot ThriveNudge for one week to see how regular check-ins, clear trends, and respectful communication can benefit your athletes and your team culture. Keep using it for a season or longer to track progress over time.
