Sports software development
Athlete-performance platforms, coaching tools, and member engagement that last.
We built Bridge Athletic — used by USC, the LA Rams, and MLB and MLS teams — and have run it for 12+ years.
What we build for sports and fitness — and what each one delivers
A set of systems that earn their place in how athletes train, coaches work, and members stay.
Athlete-performance & training-load platforms
Turns workload, GPS, wearable, and biometric data into readiness insight a performance staff acts on. Benefit — better-prepared athletes and fewer avoidable injuries from overload.
Coaching & programming tools
Build, assign, and adjust training programs at scale, delivered to athletes on any device. Benefit — coaches program for hundreds of athletes in the time it took to do a handful.
Member engagement & retention products
Tracking, challenges, class booking, and nudges that keep members active. Benefit — higher retention, where small percentages are the whole business.
Sports & performance analytics
Turns competition, training, and tracking data into dashboards coaches and front offices can decide on. Benefit — faster, evidence-based decisions on selection, tactics, and load.
Recovery, readiness & wellness
Daily check-ins and recovery scoring that flag athletes who need attention before they break down. Benefit — staff time goes to the athletes who actually need it.
What sports software development covers with us
The scope that separates a product relied on for years from a demo that stalls after one season.
Athlete-performance & training-load systems
The data backbone that turns workload, wearable, GPS, and biometric inputs into load, readiness, and risk insight — built on machine learning where the models earn it.
Coaching, programming & team-management tools
Programming builders, drill libraries, scheduling, roster and compliance tracking, and delivery across web and mobile — the surface coaches live in.
Member engagement & consumer fitness apps
Tracking, challenges, class booking, payments, and nudges — the engagement loop that moves retention, built for iOS and Android.
Sports & performance analytics
Dashboards and models over competition, training, and tracking data — built on solid data-analytics engineering.
AI assistants for athletes, coaches, and members
Where it pays, a conversational assistant that answers training and policy questions — grounded in your content, escalating to a human when it should.
Modernization of a platform you already run
We re-platform, migrate, and pay down technical debt without taking your live product offline — exactly what we did for Bridge Athletic across 12+ years.
What you get when you hire us — all assigned to you
- A working platform in your own cloud tenant
- The data and analytics layer
- The coaching/member-facing apps
- Integrations to the wearables and systems you use
- Runbooks and a trained team
- Full work-for-hire IP transfer
We didn’t just build a sports platform. We’ve run one for over a decade.
We shipped Bridge Athletic as a 2012 MVP and carried it through 12+ years of re-platforming — without it ever going offline. It grew into the strength-and-conditioning platform used by USC, the LA Rams, and MLB and MLS teams.
This is the one industry where our deepest proof is a direct, named, public match. Build with us, and you’re working with the team that has already done it at the professional and collegiate level.
Silicon Prime is a Stanford-rooted Responsible AI lab, founded in 2011, run by founder Kelvin Tran — personally accountable for every engagement.
Why build it with us
We’ve actually shipped and sustained sports tech. 12+ years on Bridge Athletic, from MVP to a platform trusted by USC and the LA Rams — experience almost no agency can claim.
Built to last, not just to launch. We engineer for the second season and the tenth — re-platforming without downtime, because we’ve had to.
Founder-led, one accountable lead. The person who scopes your platform answers for it.
Built to transfer. Code, data models, and a trained team assigned to you under full work-for-hire IP assignment.
Questions buyers ask before they build
Have you actually built sports software before, or just adjacent products?+
Directly. We built Bridge Athletic from a 2012 startup MVP into the strength-and-conditioning platform used by USC, the LA Rams, and MLB and MLS teams, and it’s still live 12+ years later. Sports is the one industry where our deepest proof is a named, public, directly-matching client at the professional and collegiate level.
Can you integrate with wearables and tracking systems like Catapult, Garmin, or Whoop?+
Yes — ingesting workload, GPS, wearable, and biometric data and turning it into usable insight is core to performance software. We scope your specific devices and data feeds in Discover and build the integration and data layer to match. The point is to make that data act on a decision, not just store it; we measure that it does.
How do you make sure the data and the readiness scores can be trusted?+
By engineering for correctness before the field depends on it. Load and readiness models are built on established sports-science methods — acute:chronic workload ratios, where elevated ratios (≥1.5) correlate with 2–4× greater injury risk in peer-reviewed research (ACWR/IOC consensus) — validated against your own data and tested before launch. Where a model isn’t reliable enough to drive a decision, we say so.
Can you build a consumer fitness or member app, or just team-facing tools?+
Both. Member-facing fitness apps — tracking, challenges, class booking, payments, engagement nudges — are squarely in scope, and so are team and athlete-facing performance tools. The consumer fitness app market is projected to roughly triple toward $33.58 billion by 2033 (Grand View Research), and the engineering that wins there is the same we apply to performance platforms: reliable, fast, built to retain.
We already have a live platform that’s getting hard to maintain. Can you take it over?+
That’s one of our strongest cases. We carried Bridge Athletic through 12+ years of modernization, migration, and re-engineering without it going offline. We assess what you have, stabilize it, and modernize it incrementally — see our application modernization work — so a platform that’s become hard to extend can keep serving athletes while we rebuild underneath it.
How do you handle data security and athlete data?+
The platform runs in your own cloud tenant under your access controls, integrations use scoped permissions, and every engagement starts with an NDA and security review. Athlete and health-adjacent data is handled conservatively and documented end to end, so your team verifies the data paths. Where regulated health data applies, we scope the compliance requirements up front.
Who owns the software when you’re done?+
You do — completely. Code, data models, and integrations transfer under full work-for-hire IP assignment signed at kickoff, and your team is trained to operate and extend the platform. Keep us on a reduced retainer for the long haul or take the keys; the engagement is built around the handover.
What does it cost and how long does it take?+
Most platforms reach an initial production release in 4–8 weeks under a fixed-scope engagement with one accountable lead, with payment tied to ROI. Total cost depends on scope — our AI development cost guide gives real ranges — and the longer product partnership, the kind that carries a platform for years, is scoped as a separate ongoing relationship.
