Five apps. One for each seat.
A sport mindset app trains the mental side of sport the way practice trains the physical side: a small, repeatable daily rep instead of a lecture. There are five here because a coach, a parent, an athlete, an official and a pickleball player are each standing somewhere different, and the same advice does not work from all five chairs. Pick the seat you are actually sitting in.
Which one is for you
One app per person, not one app with five modes. If you sit in two seats, and plenty of people do, take two: most parents in the family also coach, and most coaches were athletes.
| If you are | Take | The daily ask |
|---|---|---|
| Coaching a team | Coach Mindset | One take, five reps, one check-in |
| Watching your kid play | Parent Mindset | Two minutes on game day |
| The athlete | Mindset Reps | Three rings, about ten minutes |
| Officiating | Official’s Mindset | Pre-game, one rep, one log |
| Playing pickleball | Pickleballer | One point, read it right |
All five are free to download on the App Store. Each has an optional subscription that unlocks the full library; the current price lives on each app’s own site, which is the one place we keep it up to date.
A daily rep, not a course
Every app in the family works the same way underneath, because they are all built on the same five pillars. You get one short thing to do today. You do it. It takes minutes, not an evening. Tomorrow there is another one.
That shape is deliberate. The people these apps are built for do not have a free hour: the coach is running practice, the parent is driving to the rink, the official has a game in twenty minutes. A mental-performance habit that needs an hour is a habit nobody keeps.
The five pillars are written out in full here — the long game, the sidelines, development over scoreboard, reflection, and identity.
What each one actually does
Coach Mindset — for coaches
For the person running the practice. The daily loop is one take to consider, five reps to work through, and one check-in on how the session actually went. It spans a wide range of sports, including para and adaptive disciplines, because a coach’s mental craft travels even when the drills do not.
The premise: coaching is a craft, and the whistle works both ways. What you say to a twelve-year-old after a bad shift is a skill, and skills can be practised.
Parent Mindset — for sport parents
For the person in the stands and then in the driver’s seat. Two minutes on game day: something to read before, and a place to put what you noticed after. It is built around the moments sport parents actually find hard — the sideline, the car ride home, the conversation with the coach.
The premise: the pause before you speak. Most of what a sport parent regrets is said in the ninety seconds after a game ends.
Mindset Reps — for athletes
For the athlete doing the work. Three rings a day, about ten minutes: showed up, did the work, got centred. Reps on the things that decide games and are never coached — nerves before a match, the shift after a mistake, the week after getting cut.
The premise: everyone trains the body. These are reps for the six inches between your ears. Rated 12+ on the App Store, because it is written for a teenage athlete rather than a child.
Official’s Mindset — for referees, umpires and judges
For the person nobody thanks. A pre-game routine, one rep, and a private log for the calls that stay with you. Built around composure: the confrontation, the bad call, the coach in your ear, the walk back to the car.
The premise: make the next call the only call. Nobody quits officiating over the rulebook — they quit over everything around it.

Pickleballer — for pickleball players
The one adult-first app in the family, and the only one that is a game. One point a day: read the situation, pick the shot, find out what the point was really asking. It trains the soft game — the reads that beat people who hit harder than you.
The premise: one point a day, read it right. Turn a banger into a player.
What these are not
These are educational products for mental performance and wellbeing in sport. They are not medical, psychological or mental-health services, and they are not therapy. They do not diagnose anything, they do not treat anything, and nothing in them should be read as clinical advice.
Mindset training is genuinely useful for the ordinary hard parts of sport: nerves, confidence, focus, the bad game, the long season. It is the wrong tool for something clinical. If a young person is struggling in a way that goes past sport, the right next step is a doctor, a counsellor or a psychologist — not an app.
If you or a young person is in crisis, call or text 988 in the US and Canada, or your local emergency number.
Before you download
Do I need more than one?
No. Each app is complete on its own. People take a second one when they genuinely sit in a second seat — coaching a team and parenting a player on it is the common pair.
Do the apps talk to each other?
Only where a person has deliberately connected them, and never by sharing raw private content. What an athlete writes in their own reflections stays theirs. Each app’s privacy policy sets out exactly what it collects and what it does not.
What age are these for?
Coach Mindset, Parent Mindset, Official’s Mindset and Pickleballer are written for adults. Mindset Reps is written for the athlete and is rated 12+.
Are they on Android?
Not yet. All five are iOS today. Tell us if you want an Android version — it genuinely affects what gets built next.
Who makes them?
Boost Innovation Inc., out of Calgary. The founder’s story is here, and the thinking underneath all five apps is here.
