Free, 15 minutes. Baseline scheduling and program fit — no urgency, no fear.

Before the season is the right time to measure a young athlete's brain — because a baseline you own changes every decision that follows. This lane is pre-injury by design: objective baseline testing — so that if a hit ever comes, return decisions compare against your kid's numbers, not population averages — plus readiness work where testing shows trainable gaps (visual processing, reaction, balance under fatigue). If your athlete is currently injured, this is not your page: go to pediatric & teen concussion — evaluation and care for the injured is clinical work, and return-to-play follows physician-clearance rules, always. Start: 15-minute call — parents and athletes welcome together.

Frequently asked questions

Is baseline testing required by leagues?

Rules vary by league and state; what a private baseline adds is depth — and family ownership of the data.

Does baseline testing prevent concussion?

No — nothing does. It informs better decisions after one, and readiness training targets trainable capacities. We don't oversell either.
