Dashr is the all-in-one performance testing platform built for coaches, athletes, and teams — connecting hardware-verified speed, strength, and power data to real coaching decisions and real recruiting outcomes, all behind a single sign-in. FOR COACHES Run combine-grade testing sessions in minutes, not hours. Pair Dashr's wireless timing lasers, Vert jump sensor, RFID check-in, impact sensors, and lap/agility gates over Bluetooth, then capture sprint splits, vertical jump, reactive strength, bar velocity (VBT), agility, and throwing metrics with sensor-level precision. Build and import rosters in seconds — including photo-to-roster OCR scanning of a printed sheet — and use hands-free voice check-in to keep drills moving when your hands are full. Every result is automatically synced to the athlete, works fully offline in the field or gym, and can be paired with a synced highlight clip for instant form feedback. Turn raw numbers into something you can hand a parent or a recruiter: generate industry-standard EAPI, EASI, and Parisi Speed School reports, build your own weighted Athlete Index to rank a roster your way, run live competitions with public leaderboards and printable flyers, and share time-windowed access codes so recruiters can view results without full roster access. Track progress over a season with automatic PR detection and trend analysis, program and log strength & conditioning workouts tied directly to testing results, and cast a live dashboard to a gym TV for team-wide engagement. FOR ATHLETES Your performance history, in one place — for life. Every result your coach captures appears instantly in your own profile: verified times, jumps, and power metrics with percentile rankings against a national pool of athletes. Track your progress with trend insights and personal-best detection, log your own biometrics and training, and generate the same standardized EAPI and Parisi reports coaches trust. Build a recruiting profile that stands out — verified results (not self-reported guesses) alongside your academics, contact info, and links to your Hudl, NCSA, 247Sports, or MaxPreps profiles, shareable with a single link. Connect to your coach's roster or a live event with an invite code or QR scan, enter competitions to see where you rank, and turn your best results into branded trading-card graphics built for social media. ONE ECOSYSTEM A result captured on the field becomes a coaching conversation, a season-long trend, a standardized report, a competition entry, and a recruiting asset — all from the same verified data point, viewed from whichever side of the sign-in you're on. Dashr works with the full line of Dashr testing hardware, including wireless timing lasers, the Dashr Vert jump sensor, RFID readers, Motion sensors, and jump mats — with over-the-air firmware updates so your gear stays current without a computer. Whether you're a coach running a testing day for sixty athletes or an athlete building the profile that gets you recruited, Dashr turns raw athletic performance into data you can trust, track, and share.
