iThinkSport

iThinkSport provide performance

psychology support to sportsmen and
women, and have worked with CEMAS
to develop an app to support their service.
The company realised that using an app could be good for
business because they appreciated that athletes are often
on the move with their sport and quite often need a nudge
when they are away from their laptop or PC.
The app enables athletes to search for and commit to nudges
based on their chosen sport and situation that theyre
currently in e.g. needing motivation, needing smarter ways
to train, etc. The nudges are from a range of sports and cover
a range of topics to help sportsmen and women with their
performance. For example, if a sportsperson is feeling anxious
before a competition, we have a nudge to support them...
The best feature of the app is connecting with nudges on the
move giving sports people the opportunity to get support
immediately when they need it creating a belong to
a team feel. The app is aimed at sports men and women
from amateur to elite level in a range of sports.

We discovered CEMAS via a web search when

we were looking for an organisation to help develop
an app for us... CEMAS has supported us with the
full planning of the app from start to finish via face
to face meetings, Skype calls and emails. We have
been massively impressed with the expertise and
professionalism of the CEMAS team. They have
been exceptional to work with and we would highly
recommend them to anyone else who is looking
to develop an app.

The app gives users an opportunity to connect with nudges

on the move, when they are training and competing.
The innovative nudge system encourages sports people
to choose and commit to a nudge which they feel will help
improve their performance. They are also able to connect
with other site users by commenting on their nudges and
sharing their experiences.

The app has given the company another way

to connect with athletes and provides them with
an opportunity to go mobile with their performance
psychology support. In turn we hope to achieve
greater engagement with the sports community
and hope that the app will help us to connect with
athletes globally.
