DAILY CONTEXT

Readiness and Recovery

Use a brief, repeatable check-in to support the coach-athlete conversation about sleep, fatigue, soreness and stress before training.

WHAT THIS CATEGORY MEANS

A conversation signal—not a clearance score

A subjective check-in helps organize athlete-reported context. It does not diagnose illness, mental health conditions, overtraining or injury, and no automatic training decision should be made from one number alone.

PUBLISHED PROTOCOLS

Daily athlete check-in

CHK

Daily Readiness Check-In

Four athlete-reported items—sleep quality, fatigue, muscle soreness and stress—plus a free-text flag and coach follow-up record.

  • Four separate 1-5 responses
  • Optional total retained only as a trend aid
  • Flag, context and coach action notes
Open Test Guide Protocol, forms and research

COMPARISON RULE

Compare like with like.

  • Collect responses consistently and privately.
  • Review individual items before any total.
  • Use personal baselines and repeated trends—not team ranking.
  • Escalate health, safety or welfare concerns through the proper pathway.

Do not automate athlete care

Readiness data do not clear an athlete to train and must not replace direct conversation, parent or guardian communication, medical care, mental-health support, safeguarding or emergency procedures.
