Sports Brain Profile

Your baseline brain profile

This tool builds a picture of how your brain and personality are wired before any injury. It takes about 10 minutes, saves as you go, and gives you and your coach a baseline to come back to if you ever need it. It is not a medical assessment.

How you're wired

A bit about you

These are stable parts of how you're built. They don't change with your injury, but they shape how recovery goes. There are no right answers, and high is not better, just different. Answer how true each feels for you in general.

For each area, choose how often the statement is true for you in general. This is your baseline, not a test of how you are on any given day.

3 to 6 hours

Sports Brain Profile
Your baseline profile

This profile maps how your brain and personality are wired right now. It is your personal baseline, not a performance assessment or a diagnosis. Understanding how you are wired helps you and your support team make better decisions about training, recovery, and welfare.

Note: This is a self-report baseline, not a medical assessment. If you ever sustain a head injury, share this profile with your clinician so they have a picture of how you were before.

Setting the scene
Your context
Sport, training level, and any relevant background.
How you're wired
Each trait is simply how you're built. Dots to the right mean that trait runs higher, which is useful context for training load, communication style, and welfare. There's no good or bad place to be.
What this means for you
Brain function baseline
How your brain functions day to day
This is your baseline across key functional areas. If you ever sustain a head injury, this gives your clinician a picture of how you were before.
Keep this somewhere safe

This profile is most useful if you can access it if you ever need it. Download or print a copy, and consider sharing it with your coach. If you do sustain a head injury, bring this to your first clinician appointment.

This is a self-reported baseline, not a medical assessment. Share it with your coach and keep a copy for any future clinician appointments.
