What Coaches Get
See Patterns
Track mood, motivation, and mental load over time. Spot trends before they impact performance.
Research shows 75% of people can't even sleep without managing mental noise. Your athletes need this visibility.
Spot Struggles Early
Notice when an athlete is struggling mentally - not just physically - and intervene early.
The first indication shouldn't be at mile 80.
Better Conversations
Use daily check-ins as conversation starters. Understand what's really holding your athletes back.
Data shows active tracking leads to 25% stronger support networks. Be that support.
Simple Daily Check-Ins
Your athletes answer 3 simple prompts each day:
- How are you feeling mentally today?
- What's your motivation level?
- Any barriers or struggles right now?
You get a dashboard view of trends and red flags. No complexity. Just clarity.
Same concept as Strava for runs. But for the part that actually determines if they finish.
Why I Built This
I'm Ben. Ultra runner. 20+ years software engineer. Mental health advocate.
I disappeared from Instagram for 3 years. Not because I stopped running. I started researching.
Masters degree. Surveyed 136 people about mental patterns and performance. Found something: We track everything physical. But mental performance? We're all just winging it.
I've raised $10K for mental health and I've DNF'd races because my head wasn't in it.
MindsetCoach exists because mental performance IS mental health. And coaches need visibility into both.
Most performance tools ignore wellbeing. Most wellness apps ignore performance. This connects both.
The Research Behind It
This isn't built on hunches. For my Masters, I surveyed 136 people about mental wellness and performance patterns.
couldn't sleep without managing mental noise → Daily check-ins help athletes process before bed
Active users got twice the negative feedback BUT built 25% stronger support communities → We help coaches BE that support
Passive consumers struggled more than active trackers → The act of tracking creates awareness and control
Same patterns in ultra running. Mental performance determines the outcome. We just don't measure it.

MindsetCoach doesn't exist yet. It's being built right now.
Every morning at 3:30 AM. Using Claude Code as my development partner. Taking coach feedback daily. Documenting the entire process.
Early stage. Very early.
But the gap is real. The research is done. And coaches need this.
