Ignite Intelligence

We train the team going to the Olympics.

Ignite writes the strength and speed programming for Canada's men's and women's national flag football squads on the road to LA 2028. The model finds the quality holding you back, the block is written against it, and your phone measures whether it moved. Now open to any athlete.

No test appointment to book. Your first week of training is your baseline.

Flag football

If you play flag, this is the room you want to be in.

Canada's national squads test, train and are selected on this system. Every reference band a flag athlete sees on their profile comes from the people playing at the level they are chasing, at their position. When we say your reactive strength is short, it is short against them.

National team athlete data is used only in aggregate. No individual's results are shared.

One system, both directions

Training becomes measurement. Measurement becomes training.

Everything an athlete does lands on one profile, whether it was measured on a force plate in Saskatoon or filmed on a phone in a garage in Halifax. The model reads that profile, the next block is written against what it finds, and the cycle runs again.

In the building

  • Force plates and timing gates at the Athlete Lab
  • GPS and external load on the field
  • Hop battery and mobility screen on film
One athlete profileModel reads it. Block is written against it. Retest shows what moved.

Anywhere else

  • Bar speed from a phone propped against a plate
  • Joint angles from a filmed sprint or jump
  • Every set logged, every exercise with its video

Deliver

You are never guessing what the exercise is.

Open any exercise in your session and the clip is right there, filmed on our floor by our coaches. A few seconds, one angle that shows the thing that matters, and the cues we would say if we were standing next to you.

  • Filmed by us, on our floor. No stock library.
  • Cues written on the card, not buried in a description.
  • Log the set from the same screen. No switching apps.
That is a real clip from the filmed library. Tap the exercise on the phone to open it.

Measure

The camera watches the bar. You get every rep back after the set.

Prop your phone against a plate and film the set. The camera tracks the bar through every rep and reports velocity for each one once the set is done, with the rep that crossed the loss threshold your coach set for the block flagged. No encoder and nothing to charge.

  • Velocity per rep, back on your phone before you have re-racked.
  • The rep that crossed your coach's velocity-loss cut-off is flagged, so the next set starts with that information.
  • Every rep saved to your profile with the load it was lifted at, so the next week is written from what you actually did.
That is a real set, filmed on a phone and tracked by the same method the app uses. Rep five crossed the cut-off.

Read

Film a sprint on your phone. Get the angles back.

The same pipeline we use for return-to-play hop testing runs on sprint footage. One camera, side on, ordinary frame rate. You get knee and hip angles through the stride, contact time, and a side-by-side against the previous session. What the method cannot see, it does not report.

  • No markers and no lab.
  • Angles reported with the frame they came from, so you can check them.
  • Limb differences reported beside absolute values, never as a percentage alone.
That is real sprint footage through the real pipeline, not a mock-up.

Sprint footage from a phone, slowed 2.5×, run through the markerless pose pipeline. Right knee in colour. Peak flexion through the stride shown top right of the chart.

Programs

A 300 lb lineman and a 180 lb corner should not be on the same program.

Tell us your sport, position, size, where you are in the year and what you have to train with. The program is shaped by the answers before a coach ever touches it.

The same platform runs six programs right now, from junior football to the national team.

Start this week.

Build the program from your sport, position and size. Your first week of logged sets and filmed sprints is the baseline, and everything after it is measured against that.
