Before the 2021 season, UMiami Football (@CanesFootball & @CaneFBNutrition) lacked a method for measuring recovery, strain, and sleep in a way that the performance team could leverage to help athletes build positive habits that would improve readiness to perform on the field. 👇
Earlier today we released an update to the OWN IT App that adds a new 'Declining Wellness Survey' as a part of our daily insights for users that experience a significant decrease in their wellness progress.

'HRV' dats lets us measure the opportunity cost of engaging in certain habits or behaviors.
Whether it's an extra run, an poor sleep routine, or a few days of poor hydration, having an objective recovery metric helps athletes understand where they are and focus on next.
In the first 8 weeks, members of the Rutgers' Volleyball team experienced:
+ 7.4% Increase in teamwide ‘HRV’
+ 72% Increase in habit adherence
+ 23 Minutes of sleep per night
We are proud to partner with @RutgersU Volleyball. Leveraging biometrics data from @WHOOP , OWN IT is empowering student-athletes with improved health, wellness, and performance through data-driven sleep and health coaching.
Want to improve recovery? Track it.
While not perfect, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) data collected passively during sleep provides an overall indicator of recovery.
So, if players see a dip in their HRV, they know they should take some extra steps toward recovery.
Join Justin Roethlingshoefer, MS next Friday, April 7th, at Noon EDT., for a free 1-hour live event on Zoom for the third and final sessions in our series on The Science of HRV & The 8 Controllables athletes can use to increase their ability to take on strain and stress.
To improve sleep quality, try incorporating these habits into evening routines in the hour leading up to bedtime:
- Exposure to cooler temperatures
- Consume 8 ounces of warm water to activate PNS
- Use Box Breathing to down-regulate cortisol
- Eliminate or dim light
While our background is rooted in sports science & athletics, high-performance teams often exist outside of the arena.
That's why we recently partnered with White Dental, to enhance patients' overall health and wellness by increasing employee readiness and resilience.
Creating an action plan that specifies where, when, and how a goal will be implemented is a powerful tool that helps us increase adherance and promote health behavior change.

We’re excited to share these fall semester results from one of our NCAA Division I customers.
By coupling wearable data with OWN IT coaching, we were able to increase 'HRV' and make improvements to sleep quality.
Join @justinroeth Thursday, Mar 23, at Noon EST., for a free 1-hour live event on Zoom to discuss HRV and the 8 different variables that athletes can control and implement into their protocol to have real, tangible effects on their bodies’ ability to recover and adapt to stress.
In a recent survey of 14,000+ NCAA student-athletes, 61% reported daytime fatigue at least three or more days a week.
18% of respondents felt that sleep difficulties were impacting academic performance.
While in-facility testing is crucial, it's missing 90% of the story.
