Our durability drivers defined

Athlete Durability Index wheel features drivers that support healthy youth sport participation.

History

Previous injuries and time missed from sport that can influence what the body tolerates now.

Growth

Where the athlete is in their growth phase, since rapid growth can change coordination, strength, and recovery needs.

Structure

Joint and body characteristics that can shape how stress is distributed during sport.

Mechanics

How the athlete moves during key tasks, including how they control their trunk, hips, knees, and landing positions.

Balance

The ability to stay steady and controlled, especially on one leg or in unstable positions.

Reaction

How quickly and accurately the athlete responds to cues and changes in the environment.

Mindset

Confidence, stress, and mental readiness that can influence decision making, focus, and follow through.

Fuel

Nutrition and hydration habits that support energy, growth, and training demands.

Recovery

Sleep and recovery behaviors that help the athlete adapt and stay consistent.

Load

Total training and competition demands, including how quickly those demands increase.
