MyPath
Your progress, gamified
What Is MyPath?
MyPath is the app that tracks your student's development — academics, athletics, life skills, all in one place.
Think of it like a video game character profile. Instead of a traditional report card, your child has a Player Card with an overall rating (0-99 OVR) that grows as they improve.
The Player Card
Every ISP student has a Player Card showing:
- Overall Rating (OVR): A single number (0-99) summarizing their development
- Skill Trees: Breakdown by category (Bio, Mental, Financial/Brand/Communication)
- Streaks: Consecutive days of logged activity
- Badges: Achievements earned along the way
| JAKE SMITH | Age 14 · Basketball · Des Moines |
| ⭐ 76 OVR | Overall Rating |
| BIO: 78 | MENTAL: 74 |
| 🔥 14-Day Streak | 🏅 5 Badges · 📊 Top 22% |
The Skill Trees
Your child's OVR is built from four skill trees:
🏋️ Bio-Architecture (Physical Development)
| Attribute | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Frame | Physical structure, muscle-to-bone ratio |
| Engine | Metabolic performance, energy systems |
| Hydration | Fluid balance, recovery |
| Consistency | Nutrition habits, meal timing |
🧠 Psycho-Architecture (Mental Development)
| Attribute | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Detail Orientation | Following through on small things |

How Ratings Improve
Ratings go up through consistent action, not cramming.
Daily Missions
Every morning, your child gets 3 missions tailored to their lowest-rated areas:
TODAY'S MISSIONS
🍎 NUTRITION — Log breakfast and lunch
Reward: +0.3 Bio Rating
🧠 MINDSET — Watch today's athlete video
Reward: +0.2 Mental Rating
📊 TRAINING — Log your workout
Reward: +0.2 Bio Rating
Complete missions = ratings go up. Skip days = ratings stall (or drop).
Streaks
Consecutive days of completing missions build streaks.
| Streak | Badge |
|---|---|
| 7 days | 🔥 Week Warrior |
| 14 days | 🔥🔥 Two-Week Terror |
| 30 days | 🔥🔥🔥 Monthly Monster |
| 60 days | 💪 Iron Will |
| 90 days | 🏆 Elite |
| 365 days | 🐐 GOAT |
Streaks unlock rewards — from exclusive content to 1:1 calls with athletes.
Persona Challenges
Beyond daily missions, students can take on persona challenges — longer commitments tied to legendary athletes and coaches.
How They Work
- Choose a challenge from the library (or get assigned one)
- Commit to the duration (7-21 days)
- Log daily — the app tracks your progress
- Complete the challenge and earn your badge
- Create content — film a "You Teach" video sharing what you learned
Example Challenges
| Challenge | Persona | Duration | What You Do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gable 6AM | Dan Gable | 14 days | Wake at 6am, train 30+ min daily |
| Saban Process | Nick Saban | 21 days | Focus only on the current task, not outcomes |
| Burke Fueling | Louise Burke | 7 days | Log every meal using elite protocols |
| Wooden Details | John Wooden | 14 days | Perfect the small things |
| Summitt Accountability | Pat Summitt | 10 days | No excuses — own every mistake |
Challenge Rewards
| Completion | Reward |
|---|---|
| Any challenge | Persona badge on Player Card |
| 3 challenges | "Challenge Hunter" badge |
| 5 challenges | Unlock exclusive athlete content |
| Create "You Teach" video | Extra OVR boost + featured chance |
"You Teach" Content
The highest level of learning is teaching others.
After completing a challenge or mastering a concept, students create short content:
- TikTok/Reel (60 sec): "What Dan Gable taught me about my morning routine"
- Video essay (3-5 min): Deep dive on one lesson
- Blog post: Written reflection
Why It Matters
- Deepens learning — You can't teach what you don't understand
- Builds personal brand — Content for college recruiting, NIL
- Earns rewards — Featured content gets OVR boosts
Your child isn't just a student. They're a content creator building their future.
100 for 100 Program
Academic excellence pays.
| Achievement | Reward |
|---|---|
| 100% proficient on ISASP | $100 cash prize |
The 100 for 100 fund is supported by athlete donations — not ESA money.
This is what we mean by "the school where the pros are rooting for you." Real athletes, investing real money, in YOUR academic success.
The Pro Feed
ISP students get exclusive access to daily content from partner athletes — like Instagram stories, but from the pros:
- 🌅 Morning routines — How they start their day
- 🍳 Meal prep — What elite fueling looks like
- 💪 Training clips — The work behind the results
- 🧠 Pre-game thoughts — Mental prep in real time
- 📝 Post-game reflections — Processing wins and losses
- 🎬 Behind-the-scenes — The stuff that never makes highlight reels
This isn't polished marketing. It's real, raw, daily life — so students see what elite actually looks like.
Athlete Benchmarks
The coolest part: comparing your child to elite athletes at the same age.
Elite athletes have historical data showing what their stats were at ages 10, 12, 14, 16, etc.
Your child can see:
YOUR STATS vs. D1 ATHLETE AT AGE 14
You D1 Avg Gap
Speed 72 78 -6
Shooting 68 82 -14
Academics 85 83 +2 ✅
"You're ahead of the D1 average in academics at their age!"
This makes elite performance tangible. It's not some distant goal — it's a benchmark they can chase.
Behavior Gap Reports
Weekly, your child gets a report showing:
| Your Behavior | D1 Athlete's Behavior at Your Age | Match? |
|---|---|---|
| 4 hrs training/week | 13 hrs/week | ❌ |
| Skipped breakfast | Oatmeal + eggs every day | ❌ |
| 6.5 hrs sleep | 8.5 hrs sleep | ❌ |
The question isn't "Are you talented?" It's "Are you doing what they did?"
Talent is overrated. Habits win.
Badges & Achievements
Badges are collected over time and displayed on the Player Card:
| Badge | How to Earn |
|---|---|
| 🏀 Elite Shooter | Match D1 shooting stats at your age |
| 🏈 Elite Arm | Match D1 arm strength at your age |
| 📚 Scholar Athlete | Beat your athlete's academic score |
| 🥇 OVR Match | Match an athlete's OVR at the same age |
| 🧱 Stonecutter | 30 days of perfect small-task completion |
| 💧 Salt Badge | Proper hydration during intense training |
Badges are shareable — your child can post them to social media, show coaches, include in recruiting profiles.
Pro Feed (Exclusive Content)
ISP students get access to the Pro Feed — exclusive content from partner athletes:
- Morning routine videos
- Meal prep photos
- Training session clips
- Pre-game and post-game thoughts
- Behind-the-scenes access
This isn't polished marketing content. It's real, raw, daily life — so students see what elite actually looks like.
For Parents: What You See
Parents get a dashboard showing:
- Your child's current OVR and skill tree ratings
- Streak status (are they logging consistently?)
- Mission completion rate
- Weekly progress summary
- Alerts if ratings drop or streaks break
You don't need to nag. The system handles accountability. You just check in weekly to see progress.
Why Gamification Works
Athletes understand competition. They understand progress. They understand leveling up.
A traditional report card — "B+ in Math" — doesn't motivate anyone.
But "Your OVR went from 72 to 76 this month, and you're only 3 points behind D1 athletes at your age"?
That motivates.
MyPath turns development into a game worth playing.
FAQ
Q: Is this just for serious athletes?
A: It works for any student-athlete. The system adapts to their level. A recreational athlete and an elite prospect both benefit from tracking habits and seeing progress.
Q: What if my kid doesn't like video games?
A: That's fine. The gamification is optional framing. At its core, MyPath is just a progress tracker. Some kids love the game elements; others just use it to see their stats.
Q: Can coaches see my child's profile?
A: Only if you choose to share it. Player Cards can be exported and shared with coaches, recruiters, or anyone else — but it's always your choice.
Q: Is this an app or website?
A: Both. Mobile app for students (iOS + Android). Web dashboard for parents.
