The Buzz
For non-technical people
This isn't a business idea. It's a working product. The hard part — building software that works — is done.
What you're actually getting:
- Platform addressing a real health epidemic in sport
- Science-backed prevention that actually works
- Part of the Z12 football ecosystem
A 16-year-old player completes the risk assessment. She's identified as high-risk. She follows the 8-week prevention program. A year later, she's still playing — while 3 teammates have torn their ACLs.
Clubs implementing prevention programs see 50-70% reduction in ACL injuries. That's careers saved and £50,000+ per injury avoided.
