The Map — Choose Your Path
Follow the path from left to right. Finish a stage to unlock the next — and at the big fork, you choose which kind of scientist you want to be.
Today's Playbook
Your options between stages — train, explore the science, and compete.
Trophy Case
The course
Follow along, part by part. Each part is a real sports-science career, a 2-hour session, and a level to complete. Check off activities as you go — your progress fills live.
Log your numbers
After every drill, station, or headset run, record what happened. Each entry becomes a data point in your study — and feeds your dashboard and the leaderboards.
1 · Program
Your program decides which drills and stations appear.
2 · Athlete
First name + last initial only. Team/site lets leaderboards compare within a group.
3 · Drill / station
4 · Enter your numbers
Copy each value from your results screen or recording sheet — or just say them out loud.

Build your player card
This is your dashboard — the kind an analyst builds in Tableau or Power BI. Fill in your profile, then watch KPI tiles, a stats table, and charts build themselves from your data.
✎ Edit my profile (number, position, bio, photo)
🎨 Build your avatar
Design your own sports-science character. It rides along on your player card, the top bar, and pops up to guide you through each lab.
The leaderboard
Compete with your class today, or with every athlete who's trained at your site. Then check your personal board — the ranking that follows you everywhere.
Class board
One-day workshop? Use Today. Multi-week program? Use All time.
XP leaderboard
The all-around ranking — training, quizzes, course, and labs combined.
Personal board
Every personal best you own, across every program — plus your quiz record.
Prove you speak the science
A sports scientist knows the vocabulary. Each quiz gives instant feedback and an explanation, earns XP, and wrong answers teach as much as right ones.
The spreadsheet lab
No headset today? No problem. Download real-style sports data, open it in Google Sheets, and learn the tools every analyst uses — sorting, formulas, filters, pivots, and charts.
Step 1 · Grab a dataset
These are practice datasets (a made-up league) so you can learn the moves safely. Download one, then open Google Sheets → File → Import → Upload.
Ready for the real thing? Free real data lives at sports-reference.com (Basketball/Football/Baseball Reference — look for "Share & Export → Get table as CSV"), Kaggle Datasets, and FBref. Same moves, real athletes.
Step 2 · Run the challenges
Pick your athlete, work each challenge in Google Sheets, then mark it done for XP.
Your voice is data too
Scientists measure before and after. Fill out the pre-survey when you arrive and the post-survey before you leave. Honest answers make the program better.
Facilitator summary
Pre vs post averages — the before-and-after picture funders and partners ask for.
Take it to the real world
VR only matters if it shows up on the field. Each drill here is the real-world twin of a Rezzil skill — run it on the field, court, or ring, or in a classroom version, then log your numbers and see if your VR practice transferred.
Same skills, two settings. YSSI runs wherever you are — so every drill has a full-space version and a classroom-friendly version.
Inside your brain
Every drill lights up real parts of your brain and drives your heart. Spin the 3D models, pick a drill, and watch the science of your own training come alive.
🧠 Your brain on sport
Choose a drill or skill. The regions your brain leans on light up — grab the model to rotate it.
The science, from real labs
These aren't made up. Researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University tested soccer players using Rezzil — the same VR platform in this program.
Brainwaves: your focus, measured
Scientists read the brain's electrical rhythms (EEG). Three of them tell the story of a locked-in athlete.
The Big Three: mean, median, mode
Three answers to "how am I doing, typically?" — each true in its own way.
Your overall average. One amazing or terrible session pulls it. If mean and median are far apart, an outlier is doing it.
Your typical day. Sort all sessions, take the middle. Outliers barely move it — scientists trust it with messy data.
Your consistency zone. No mode? Every session differed — that variability is itself a finding.
Keeper's save ratios: 60, 62, 61, 63, 20 (headset slipped). Mean = 53.2, median = 61. Which describes the real athlete? That's why we look at both.
Your fighter heart
Your heart is the hardest-working muscle you own. Set its pace, drop in your own numbers, and see what training does to the engine that never taps out.
❤️ The beating model
This heart beats at the rate you set. Pull in your resting and peak numbers from the Heart Health program and watch the difference.
🫀 Parts of the heart — what each one does
Pick a part to light it up on the model and learn its job in the pump.
Heart science
Partner Stations
Four stations, four partners. Run each one, then log what you found — your numbers save to your dashboard.
Sort the Sports
Every sport runs on two engines. Aerobic = "with oxygen," long and steady. Anaerobic = "without oxygen," short and powerful. Most sports use both. Slide each sport to where it sits.
Take Your Own Heart Rate
Press two fingers (not your thumb) on your wrist or neck. Count beats for 15 seconds, then multiply by 4.
Did you know? A lower resting heart rate often signals a stronger, better-trained heart — it moves more blood with every beat and recovers fast between rounds. (Typical teen resting range: about 60–100 bpm.)
Score Your Four Corners
A coach trains all four corners. Rate yourself honestly from 1 (needs work) to 5 (strong).
Strong, healthy shoulders
The shoulder is the body's most mobile joint — and that freedom makes it easy to hurt. This lab, built around Reach VR, shows how it works and how to keep it strong for throwing, serving, and shooting.
💪 Inside the shoulder
Tap a part to see its job. The rotator cuff is four small muscles that stabilize the joint.
Reach VR → real shoulder health
Reach VR trains range of motion and control. Try these real-world prehab drills, then log how you did.
Predict-the-Load Cards
Trust your gut. The skill you're building is prediction: reading a movement and knowing where it will cost you. Rate the shoulder load, then compare with your partner.
Resistance Band Exercises
Four moves, whole group, on a count — then back into VR to re-measure.
Go slow. Control beats speed. Stop if anything pinches.
Shoulder-smart rules
Your body, mapped
Spin the 3D body and tap a region to jump into its lab. Every system you train connects to the whole athlete.
Train your brain
Quick games that test the same cognition your Rezzil drills do — reaction speed, focus, working memory, and impulse control. Beat your best and bank the XP.

The locker room wall
Every session leaves something behind. Drop what you learned, a PR you hit, or a shout-out — and it stays up for the crews who come after you.

Take the mic
Great analysts are great storytellers. Step into the booth, break down real game film like a pro broadcaster, and use the language of the sport to back up what you see.
1 · Pick your sport & analyst
2 · Load the film
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link to a clip (a game, a highlight, your own footage), or work from a live game or film in the room.
3 · Call the play
Follow the broadcaster's spine. Tap a key term to drop it into your notes — using the sport's language is how you earn analyst cred.
