Elite carefor every athlete
SportMed Connect partners with elite sports clubs and programs to give every athlete and coach a sports medicine team they can access 24/7, 365, anywhere in the country.
What is SportMed Connect?
See how an athlete goes from injured to a plan in minutes, with a sports medicine team behind them.
How it works
Sports Medicine Team
- Step 1
Call or text your sports medicine team
Any time an athlete has an injury, a nagging pain, or needs direction. 24/7, from home or an out-of-town tournament.
- Step 2
A specialist gets back to you
In minutes, by phone or video. A sports medicine specialist on our own staff talks with you and your athlete and assesses what's going on.
- Step 3
Get treated, not just advised
Your specialist coordinates the care your athlete needs, on the spot:
- Prescriptions
- X-ray orders
- MRI orders
- CT scan orders
- Doctor's notes
- Return-to-play clearance
- Specialist referrals
- Step 4
Return to sport
The same team checks in through recovery until your athlete is cleared and back in the game. It's not a one-and-done call.
of injuries get back to play with no trip to the doctor's office. When an athlete needs more, like imaging, a specialist or an in-person visit, we set it up and stay with you until they're back. One team coordinates every step, from the first call to return-to-play clearance, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Director questions
Who is covered?
Every athlete and every coach on your roster, wherever the injury happened: practice, a tournament, school or the backyard. Parents call or text on their athlete's behalf.
We have an athletic trainer. Does this replace them?
No. We work alongside your trainer and cover the hours and places they can't: nights, weekends, travel tournaments and every team at once. When your trainer is on site, we share what we found so everyone works from the same plan.
What does it cost, and can it make the club money?
It depends on your club's size and how you structure it. Many clubs build it into registration so families pay nothing extra when they call. We'll walk through options on the first call, including partnership structures that generate revenue for the club.
How much work is it for my staff?
Very little. We run the six launch meetings, provide every email, text, social post and print file, and set up rosters and billing with your administrator. Your staff shares the club page and sends a roster.
What do I see as a director?
Live injury reports by team and age group, the plan for each athlete, who's cleared and who's recovering, and how families are using the service. Your regional director reviews it with you every quarter, so you can spot trends like a rise in overuse injuries and act on them.
What happens with a serious injury?
Your specialist assesses it on the call, orders imaging when needed, and refers the athlete to a trusted physician in the family's network. We stay with the family through recovery and keep the coach updated until the athlete is cleared.
Can we pilot it first?
Yes. We're always looking for new strategic partners and new markets. Tell us about your club and we'll build a sample club page and a launch plan you can take to your board.
Sports medicine
for your athlete
We partner primarily with clubs. If your club is a partner, you're already covered. If not, you can join on your own and have us all year.
My club is a partner
Find your club
Your club page has your sports medicine team's number and a quick sign-up (under a minute) that adds your athlete to the club roster, so the specialist knows who's calling.

What your athlete gets
Reach your sports medicine team any time, day or night, 365 days a year, from home or an out-of-town tournament. No app and no login. It's a number you save in your phone.
A sports medicine specialist on our own staff gets back to you in minutes by phone or video, assesses the injury, and tells you exactly what to do next.
Your specialist can send prescriptions to your pharmacy, order X-rays, MRIs and CT scans, and write a doctor's note for school.
When your athlete needs imaging or an in-person visit, we find the right provider in your insurance network, set it up, and share what we found so everyone works from one plan.
The same team checks in through recovery and provides clearance for the coach, so nobody has to guess when your athlete is ready.
Nutrition with Amy Goodson, mental performance with Elliot Cox, and strength coaching matched to your athlete's sport.
When to call
If you're wondering whether to call, call. That's what your sports medicine team is for.
Right after it happens
A rolled ankle, a hard fall, a jammed finger. Call from the sideline or on the drive home.
The next morning
Pain or swelling that's worse than it should be, or something that didn't seem bad at the time.
When it won't go away
Ongoing knee, back or shoulder pain, or an old injury that's slow to heal.
Before urgent care
For anything that isn't an emergency, call us first. We can often handle it without the wait.
Most families don't even know this kind of help exists, and now we can't imagine going without it.
Sheryl W. Parent, AYG Athletics
See how it worksParent questions
Who will we be talking to?
Physicians and sports medicine specialists on SportMed Connect's own staff. Not an outsourced call center or a chatbot. Every injury is handled case by case by the right person.
Can they actually treat my athlete?
Yes. Your specialist can write prescriptions, order X-rays, MRIs and CT scans, and provide return-to-play clearance for the coach. Then our team checks in through recovery until your athlete is back.
Who is covered?
Athletes and coaches. Parents call or text on their athlete's behalf.
Is this insurance?
No. At a partner club there's nothing to pay when you call. If your athlete needs imaging or an in-person visit, that goes through your own insurance, and we help you find the right provider in your network.
Will we need an in-person appointment?
Usually not. 80% of injuries get back to play with no trip to the doctor's office. When one needs more, we set it up and stay with you.
We already have a trainer or doctor. Does this replace them?
No. We work alongside them and share what we found so everyone works from the same plan.
What if we're at an out-of-town tournament?
Call anyway. That's exactly what it's built for: 24/7, anywhere in the country.
Can we call about something that isn't an injury?
Yes. Nutrition, fueling, strength, nerves. If you're wondering whether to call, call.
Is help available in Spanish?
Yes. Translation services are available so families can get care in the language they're most comfortable with.

For Shaun and Clint
Website audit, v3
What's wrong with sportmedconnect.com today, what this draft changes, and what we need from you. Vote on each section of the draft with the yellow tags.
What changed in v12
- Launch flow.The line through the six meetings is gone; small arrows between steps instead.
- More than recovery.Restyled like the rest of the site: heading, one line, three icon cards. No side rule, dividers or local watermark.
- Watermark.One Sprinter mark now stays fixed behind the page and follows you as you scroll, on every page.
- Depth.Sections alternate between two dark tones with soft cyan light and a fine grain, instead of flat black.
What changed in v11
- Hero.Buttons removed; the SportMed Connect line is set bold with a cyan rule, like a brand statement.
- Ribbon now sits under Who we serve.
- More than recovery is its own prominent section again, with the old site's message and icons (no reused photos).
- Reviews rotate one quote at a time every 10 seconds: club owners and coaches on the left, parents and athletes on the right.
- No reused photos.Spotlights, the Team header, the parent quote and the Contact header use photos not used anywhere else.
- No white backgrounds.Every light band is now dark; the logo strip is a light gray.
What changed in v10
- No white break.The explainer section is dark now, with a new line under it.
- Less on the home page."More than recovery" is folded into the team section as three compact pillars led by each coach's photo, so one whole section and three reused photos are gone. Fortitude is now "Mental performance."
- SMC headings.Section headings ("Loved by families...", "Find your club", "How athletes use it", "How can we help?") use the SMC caps style.
- Log in opens a small panel: club directors and staff go to SMC ONE; families don't need a login. It no longer links to the internal HQ board.
What changed in v9 (Nov 10 review with Shaun)
- Explainer first."What is SportMed Connect?" now sits before How it works (embedded on the live site).
- Partner ribbon moved down next to Who we serve.
- Performance.Three pillars on the home page (mental fortitude, nutrition, strength and conditioning) and a new Performance page.
- Contact us replaces Hurt? Call now, with its own page. Care numbers stay on each club's page only.
- Log in link in the menu and under Find your club, pointing to the club dashboard.
- Reviews.Parent and club quotes from the investor deck (Rafael Lopez, Michael Favor III, Richard Harris), no "verified survey" label.
- Hoops4HIM removed (not a partner). Now 31 clubs in 11 states.
- For clubs.New revenue photo, co-branding photo in grayscale, the earlier launch flow and director dashboard restored.
- Melvin back to his original photo, cleanly upscaled.
- No pro team logos anywhere (Shaun: trademark); team names only.
The biggest problems on the live site
- Placeholder copy on "Protect My Athlete".Lorem ipsum, "Name Surname" testimonials, "Solution 1/2/3", conflicting prices.
- Broken hero image.Visitors see a black screen with a headline.
- No page for clubs.Directors are the buyer and have nothing to read.
- Team page missing the medical staff clubs actually work with.
- No partner proof.32 clubs, zero logos.
- Broken details.Blank video page, newsletter error, /test-home-1, "condisions", wrong page title, (866) SMCDEMO vs (214) number.
Questions we need answered
- The original explainer video file (MP4). YouTube won't let us pull it, and the live site should play it on the page.
- Keep the 80% line? (Shaun)
- Hurt? Call now: the site no longer prints any number. On the live site, should that button dial a general SMC line, or keep routing people to their club page?
- Individual membership: confirm $60/mo per athlete and the sibling price.
- How can we describe revenue opportunities for clubs publicly?
- Resumes or LinkedIn for Bryan, Robin, Andy, Lauren and Thayne. Public sources can't confirm their past teams (Bryan's Stars, TCU and MLS work; Thayne's Broncos work). Headshots for Andy and Lauren.
- Corrections to confirm: Dr. Garff's UFL role and "15 high schools, 3 colleges" (not found publicly); Jose moved from head strength coach to a special assistant role in 2024; Melvin played 11 pro seasons, not 13; Elliot's credential is an M.A. in sport psychology (we had "CMPT"); Robin's region on the on-call roster reads Central/South East.
- Is Thayne Sharp still on the team?
- OK to list all 32 active partners and spotlight AVA, AYG, GFI, Oakwood and Utah Surf? Can we ask Rafael at Integrity to approve his quote?
- Stay on Squarespace, or move the site onto the smc.club setup? (Recommended: move.)
