Talent viewed differently

The world of sports is changing rapidly. We're seeing more programs for young athletes, a huge increase in women's sports participation, and a greater demand for fairness at all levels. At SportsKey, we're not just observing these changes; we're actively shaping the future of talent identification and development by thinking outside the box.

Our Experience

Through decades of experience in sport science and practice, we believe that traditional methods are outdated. They often rely on subjective opinions, focus too much on temporary performance, and can be biased by an athlete's age, maturity, location, background, or past experience.

That's why we've brought together Australia's leading sports scientists and professionals to completely reimagine how we find and nurture talent.

Our Approach

We're all about uncovering the unique strengths within each athlete. We've developed practical and scalable tools designed to meet the specific needs of athletes, parents, and sporting organisations, no matter where they are in their journey. Instead of just looking at early performance, we focus on objectively measuring skill, coordination, and growth. This gives our partners the clearest and most confident way to identify long-term potential.

Our Mission

To create equitable, efficient, and future-focused talent identification that empowers every athlete to thrive.
