Frequently Asked Questions

How does SportDNA help coaches understand their team?

Each athlete takes the free 10-minute SportDNA assessment, which places them on four pillars (Drive, Competitive Style, Cognitive Approach and Social Style) and one of 16 athletic sport profiles. Your squad dashboard shows the whole group side by side, so you can see how each athlete is wired before you plan training.

How does a free squad session work?

Sign in, name your group and you get a session code in about thirty seconds. Share the link with your athletes; they add a first name and last initial and take the assessment on their phones. Results appear on your squad dashboard as they finish. There is no purchase and no seats to count.

What is in the group debrief?

The $29 PDF covers your squad's sport profile composition, pillar tilt, three coaching notes backed by numbers from your group, a roles-and-leadership section, and one page per athlete. The $99 option adds a 30-minute call with Vladimir Novkov, M.A., including how specific pairs of athletes are likely to work together.

What do athletes share, and how is their data handled?

Athletes are asked for a first name and last initial only, because many squads include minors. Assessment data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which also explains how to request access or deletion.

Is SportDNA a clinical or selection tool?

No. SportDNA describes how athletes approach training and competition; it is not a clinical diagnosis and should not be the only basis for selection decisions. Vladimir Novkov is not a licensed clinical psychologist, so please refer any mental-health concern to a qualified professional.
