High performers have a team behind their Mind, Body, and Energy development every day.
Ready First helps kids win at home so they’re better prepared to win when they step outside.
Readiness is the result of how prepared your child’s Mind, Body and Energy are for the day. It’s built at home, in sleep, food, and mood, long before they reach the field.
R1 Ready First is known performance, so you can stop hoping.
If you’re waiting to find out whether they’re ready, that’s hope performance. R1 Ready First is the first human performance system made for children. We’ve taken the best practices and simplified them, so you can see how your child is tracking and how ready they are to learn, compete and handle pressure.
R1 assesses your child with real science, then helps prepare their Mind, Body and Energy every day. Not a PDF or a leaderboard. A support team that would cost thousands.
Confidence is trained, not wished for. The same tools elite mental performance coaches use, sized for all ages.
Training built for growing bodies. Learn whether their movement supports their performance or feeds the mechanisms of injury.
Food has no villains. Every choice is Great, Good or Fun, and small choices compound into readiness a child can feel.
Suitable for all ages. Training for something, or just growing into themselves. Active across 40 sports. See the daily practice in How It Works →
R1 doesn’t take snapshots. It follows your child’s readiness day after day, adapts as they grow, and keeps the picture visible through the seasons when it matters most.
Every child dips during adolescence. The dip is normal.
Confidence wobbles, energy shifts, and quitting starts to look easier than leaning into hard things. In that dip, R1 gives a child support, a parent understanding, and coaches, teachers, and mentors a guide.
The drive home used to be the quiet part. Now he tells you where his energy’s at, what he’s building, what tomorrow asks. A way to talk about the day that isn’t evaluation.
No ads. No data sales. No comparisons. No pressure.
No ads, ever. R1 answers to you, not advertisers.
Your child’s data belongs to your child – nothing is ever sold.
Readiness is personal – never a ranking against other kids.
Their state, in age-appropriate language – positive, never punitive.
You see everything and control every sharing permission.
Coaches see readiness only – no raw scores, no personal information. R1 exists to connect the adults around a child – never to watch the child.

“My 6 year old son was having a rough day. I went into Mind, found the Calm down breathing exercise. We did the box breathing exercise. When we were done, he simply said, Dad, I love this app!”
“My daughter uses Ready First every day to help her understand what she needs to do. She’s very sporty and wants to do her best to try to get into a Division I college and play sport, period. It’s helped her with feeling like she’s in control of what she needs to do each day to get the most out of all of her practices and competitions.”
“My son struggles to eat good foods, but after a couple weeks of using the Ready First app, he finds it fun to go and see if the foods he’s eating are good for him, great for him, or fun for him. And then he started to pick foods that are more good and great for him, but still allowing himself to have fun too.”
