Sport Science Team and Organization Consulting Services

In modern collegiate and professional athletics, tracking data is no longer a competitive advantage—knowing what to do with it is. Too many organizations invest heavily in cutting-edge tech and data science pipelines, only to find the information trapped in a silo, detached from the daily realities of the dugout, weight room, and training table.

At SHIELD (Sports Health, Injury Evidence & Long-term Durability), we don't just help you build a sports science infrastructure; we ensure its seamless implementation so it directly drives positive player outcomes, durability, and on-field success.

TRUE MULTIDISCIPLINARY INTEGRATION

Led by Dr. Joseph B. Myers—with 15 years of elite academic research experience and a decade directing performance science in Major League Baseball—SHIELD understands that sports science cannot exist in a vacuum.

True player resilience is achieved when data unifies your entire organization. We specialize in aligning and integrating data across highly specialized, multidisciplinary performance teams, ensuring that:

  • Coaches receive clear, actionable insights that impact game strategy and tactical adjustments without data fatigue.

  • Athletic Trainers & Physical Therapists gain objective biomechanical and workload metrics to optimize injury triage and return-to-play protocols.

  • Strength & Conditioning Coaches can precisely track adaptations, readiness, and mechanical fatigue to tailor training loads.

  • Dietitians & Sports Nutritionists can cross-reference physical output with fueling strategies to maximize recovery and lean mass quality.

  • Mental Skills Specialists can correlate cognitive load and psychological well-being with physiological performance markers.

OUR CONSULTING SERVICES

We provide comprehensive consulting across four core areas to elevate your program from data-rich to insights-driven:

1. SPORT SCIENCE IMPLEMENTATION CONSULTING

Building a department requires a bridge between complex analytics and practical application. We help your team establish meaningful baseline metrics, design actionable dashboards, and build a culture where sports science actively supports the coaching staff. We turn raw numbers into a clear competitive advantage that players and staff trust.

2. PERFORMANCE TEAM CONSULTING

High-performance departments fail when staff operate in isolated silos. We audit your existing workflows and design collaborative systems that get your medical, strength, nutrition, mental skills, and coaching staffs speaking the same language. We cultivate interdisciplinary synergy so that every department pulls in the same direction for player health and durability.

3. INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM CONSIDERATIONS

Using peer-reviewed, evidence-based research, we help your team design highly customized injury prevention frameworks. Moving beyond generic "prehab" routines, we can utilize individual musculoskeletal profiles—assessing specific ranges of motion, tissue quality, and joint structural adaptations—to build tailored resilience programs that shield your athletes from overuse injuries.

4. TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT CONSULTATION

SHIELD offers end-to-end consulting on sports technology and product development, helping teams and companies turn performance questions into validated, athlete-centered solutions. Let SHIELD help you develop a product or technology, that not only addresses an athlete or sport need, but is also rooted in scientific evidence.

BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN SCIENCE AND STANDINGS

Stop collecting data for the sake of having it. Let SHIELD help you build a sustainable, fully integrated sports science infrastructure that speaks to your coaches, empowers your staff, and protects your players.
