Our club has had a great experience to date using the HONE app. It is extremely easy to use and navigate whether being a user or a staff member who oversees the data. Specifically, as a staff, we find that it gives us crucial information that helps direct our future planning. HONE as eliminated a lot of blind spots that were previously had when dealing with young athletes and is a tool that is integral to any team that needs help connecting with their players.

As a coach and a leader, I firmly believe that success isn't only attributed to performance - it's attributed to relationships, inclusivity and ensuring those closest to you are supported. Our hockey teams finds ourselves ranked int he Top 10 nationally and a big part of that is the culture we've built off the ice and HONE is a part of that foundation. Since implementing HONE, we've had players approach the staff looking for support as it related to mental health.

Our team culture and environment wasn't bad before HONE, but it got better! We communicate more and our student-athletes have expressed appreciation for considering more than just their on-ice performance. With the survey results being anonymous, I believe the feedback is honest and genuine and it allows us to better understand how they are doing and make changes., if possible. Having these HONE-drive conversations contributes to a better environment, experience, and success - on and off the ice.
