Sports Science Lab

What Sports Science Lab does

Sports Science Lab (SSL), founded in 2016 and headquartered at 1165 Forest Avenue in Staten Island, New York, is a privately held sports science facility that operates a centralized lab supplemented by a Mobile Sports Science Lab and a Strategic Alliance partner program. The facility serves professional athletes and teams (NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS, UFC, PGA), collegiate and high school athletic programs, youth athletes, and medical/rehabilitation patients with assessment, training, and recovery services. Its core technology stack combines biomechanical assessment hardware (3D Motion and Kinematic Analysis, Surface EMG, Isokinetic Extremity Testing, Force Plate Analysis, Eye Tracking, Sensory Station) with neurotechnology (Interactive Metronome, Brain Mapping, 3D Baseline Concussion Assessment, Halo Sport Neuropriming) and recovery modalities (Whole Body and Localized Cryotherapy, AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill, Normatec, Marc Pro, Hyperthermic Conditioning, Super Pulsed Laser). A machine learning layer generates customized corrective and performance blueprints from thousands of data points per athlete, and the Isokinetic and Sensory Station systems benchmark results against professional athlete databases.

SSL monetizes through multiple revenue streams: tiered monthly recovery subscriptions ranging from $140 to $500 per month with annual unlimited access at $3,000; performance training packages of 12, 24, or 36 sessions; professional services including Athletic Global Assessments, on-site athletic trainer coverage for schools and athletic departments, and mobile lab deployment for team assessments and event coverage. Go-to-market operates through enterprise field sales to professional teams, college athletic programs, and high schools, complemented by a direct-to-consumer channel where individuals book complimentary assessments and recovery sessions through the website with 24-hour follow-up. Notable customers include the Houston Texans, Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Bucks, New York Red Bulls, University of Nebraska, University of Michigan, Long Island University Division 1, and individual athletes such as UFC fighters Al Iaquinta and Chris Weidman, NBA's Steph Curry, and PGA Tour's Vijay Singh. The company is privately held, has not disclosed funding or revenue, and reports a headcount of 11-50.
