The Athlete's Journal

"...athletes who journal become more engaged, self-aware and mentally sharp,
less stressed and better able to cope both on the mat and off." - Dr. Richard Kent, Author at writingathletes.com

As athletes, our identity is tied to our sport and training, competing, and managing life with serious goals is challenging.

From day to day life, dreams, motivations, and a sense of progress is easy to lose.

At the end of the day, we only have ourselves to keep us accountable to our goals and aspirations, and we need a way to process our inner voice at every step of the way.

The Athlete’s Journal is your tool for processing the emotions and thoughts that come with dedicating yourself to be your best in a sport and life.

It’s a place to plan, reflect, and analyze your days, competitions, workouts, wins, shortcomings, work, school, and anything else you’re going through.

By writing, you can make sense of all the emotions in your mind, plan ahead for the future, and look back on prior weeks, months, and years to be reminded of all your progress and learnings.

The app features:
- Daily journaling throughout the day with prompts specific to athletes
- Goal setting guide to plan out your big dreams, visions, and objectives for the season(s)
- Calendar to filter, search, and look back through all your daily entries, workouts, and races
- Personal trends analysis that shows your patterns in sleep, mood, workout results, nutrition, and more

All your information is stored securely locally on your phone with no requirement of an account, email, or any data collection. This journal is simple and with one objective, to harness your inner voice and hold yourself accountable day in and day out to become the best you can be in sport and life.

Research has shown that writing can help any athlete:
- reduce stress and anxiety
- increase self-awareness
- sharpen mental skills
- promote genuine psychological insight
- advance creative inspiration and insight
- strengthen coping abilities

** say hi **
I created The Athlete’s Journal because I’ve experienced first hand the benefits of an athlete’s journal. As an athlete, I’ve journaled consistently for over 3 years and have seen the growth it has brought me within my sport of cycling. I want to help other dedicated athletes become the best they can so I created this app. I’m always looking forward to feedback, and working hard to improve the app so I encourage you to drop me a line at [email protected]
Happy training!
