BetterAthlete™ is the athletic health platform built on 25+ years of a human coach watching people move — and the clinical intelligence to put that expertise in every athlete's hands. Prevention isn't a feature. It's the whole point.

What It Is
Most athletes never know their injury risk until they're already injured. BetterAthlete changes that — using AI to screen movement, identify compensations, and deliver personalized prevention protocols before injuries happen.
Built on the Everyday Balance® methodology and 25 years of real-world assessment data, BetterAthlete is the first athletic health platform designed for the athlete who wants to keep playing — at every age, every level.
Core platform capabilities
Guided video assessment of key movement patterns. Completed by any athlete, anywhere, in under 20 minutes.
Proprietary model identifies compensations and asymmetries before they become injuries — benchmarked against normative data.
Custom corrective and prevention plans auto-generated from each athlete's unique movement profile.
Movement quality tracked over an athlete's entire career — not just one season. Dynamic re-assessment alerts keep the data current.
Shared view for coaches, trainers, PTs, and physicians. One source of truth for every athlete's health record.
The Process
Athletes complete a structured movement assessment via guided video protocol — at home, at practice, or at a clinic. The SLS Protocol and key movement patterns are captured in under 20 minutes.
AI analyzes each movement for compensations, asymmetries, and injury risk factors — benchmarked against normative data from thousands of athletes. A movement quality score and risk profile is generated in minutes.
A personalized corrective and prevention protocol is generated — rooted in the same methodology Tomas has applied in real clinical and training environments for 25+ years, now delivered at scale through the platform. Accessible in-app and shareable with coaches, parents, and clinical providers immediately.
Movement quality is re-assessed on a dynamic schedule, with alerts triggered by training load, time elapsed, or symptoms. Longitudinal data builds the most complete picture of athletic health ever available.
Built For
From youth soccer players to adult weekend warriors — every athlete deserves the intelligence to prevent injuries and keep doing what they love.
Protect your athletes, demonstrate accountability to parents, and build a culture of evidence-based sport — at scale, with full reporting and clinical integration.
The Foundation
Trained on 25+ years of real-world movement assessments, injury histories, and outcomes across NYC youth and adult athletes.
The Single-Leg Squat Protocol — a clinically validated movement screen with strong predictive validity for lower-extremity injury risk, especially ACL injuries in youth.
FIFA 11+ — the evidence base for our prevention protocols — proven to reduce ACL injuries by up to 50% when implemented consistently.
AI trained on normative movement data to identify patterns that precede injury months before they occur — accuracy that improves with scale.
What Makes This Different
Most AI fitness tools are trained on aggregated public data and generic movement assumptions. BetterAthlete™ is different. The intelligence behind it was built by a single human being — Tomas Anthony — who has spent over 25 years watching real athletes move, fail, recover, and come back stronger, on fields and in clinics across New York City.
Every protocol, every risk flag, every corrective recommendation in the platform reflects decisions that have been tested on real bodies — youth athletes, post-surgical adults, weekend warriors — and refined over thousands of hours of observation. The AI makes that expertise scalable. But the expertise itself is human.
25+ Years of Human Observation
The pattern recognition behind BetterAthlete's risk models isn't algorithmic guesswork — it's built on what a trained human coach has actually seen cause injuries in real athletes over decades.
VALD Clinical Tools at the Foundation
Objective, clinical-grade measurement — force plates, laser timing, strength asymmetry testing — grounds the platform's data in the same tools used by professional sports organizations worldwide.
Deep Work = Human Commitment
Every athlete who trains with us directly — young or returning from injury — is supported by a human coach who genuinely cares about their outcome. The platform extends that care. It doesn't replace it.
The Person Behind It

Certified Personal Trainer — the gold standard in personal training certification, covering exercise science, program design, and client assessment.
Performance Enhancement Specialist — advanced sport-specific programming for athletic performance, speed, power, and agility.
Corrective Exercise Specialist — identifying and correcting movement compensations and muscle imbalances, essential for post-rehab work.
I'm Tomas Anthony, a NASM-certified personal trainer, performance enhancement specialist, and corrective exercise specialist based in New York City. Over 25 years working in schools, clinics, fields, and gyms across NYC, I've developed a level of pattern recognition about human movement that no algorithm alone can replicate. BetterAthlete™ is my attempt to make that expertise available to every athlete, not just the ones I can work with directly.
The deep work in what I do has always been human: the commitment to comprehensive, thoughtful, supportive care that helps young athletes thrive, helps people avoid injuries before they happen, and helps those who've been injured return stronger than before. The platform carries that same commitment. The tools — VALD systems, AI analysis, wearable monitors — make the process more precise and scalable. But the mission is mine, and it's personal.
Read full bioTraining Philosophy
The best training doesn't feel like punishment. Spontaneous, challenging, and always changing — sessions that demand your attention and reward your effort.
Movement quality, strength, mobility, mental focus, recovery — I look at the complete picture. Your training plan reflects your life, not just your gym time.
I don't run cookie-cutter programs. Every session is built around who you are, what you need, where you're headed, and what's happening in your body right now.
Train to do what you love. Last-minute surf trip? No problem. Weekend ski run with the kids? Easy. That's the point — fitness that actually transfers to real life.
VALD force plates and AI analysis are part of the workflow. But 25+ years of watching people move is what turns data into a program that actually helps. The tools serve the human. Not the other way around.

New York City
BetterAthlete™ is the technology platform built by Everyday Athlete® — founded and led by Tomas Anthony, a New York City-based coach and movement specialist with 25+ years of working directly with youth and adult athletes across schools, clubs, clinics, and communities. The intelligence behind the platform isn't borrowed from generic datasets. It was built by a human who has spent decades watching people move, get hurt, and come back — and who is deeply committed to making every athlete stronger, healthier, and more capable than the day they walked in.
