Glad you’re here! The Check-in Meter is specially developed for coaches and mentors who want to take care of their team – not just physically, but mentally as well. With SportMeter, you can easily check in with your athletes and quickly gain insight into how they’re really doing.
Why is it relevant now?
We are increasingly receiving practical questions about tackling the following challenge: "It is not easy to properly monitor signals from athletes – especially in environments with many athletes, limited coaching capacity, and changing team structures."
Mental health often remains underexposed in sports. Yet research shows that many athletes and coaches experience psychological complaints, while sports can actually be a powerful engine for well-being and development.
However: 91% of sports clubs have no programs focused on mental health and only 4% have policies in place. That can and must change. With the Check-in Meter, we aim to make that change together.
How does it work?
Every week, athletes complete a short check-in – sometimes about enjoyment, sometimes about motivation, recovery, or team spirit. The results appear in a clear overview for coaches and mentors. It is a tool that enhances team meetings and one-on-one conversations and makes enjoyment and well-being measurable on three levels:
For the athlete – awareness, ownership, and a voice in the team.
For the coach/mentor – concrete starting points for conversations and guidance.
For the board – insight into well-being policies and the check-in culture within the club.
Together for Impact
The strength of the Check-in Meter lies in its simplicity: short measurements of no more than two minutes, linked to the game schedule or rest days. Automatic reminders make it almost effortless.
By collaborating – athletes, coaches, and board alike – we build a sports climate where everyone feels seen and enjoyment forms the foundation for growth and performance. That is the impact we stand for.
