About Amatra

We're on a mission to transform athlete recovery through AI-powered insights and personalized recommendations.

Our Story

Founded by athletes and data scientists, Amatra was born from a simple observation: recovery is the most undervalued aspect of elite sports performance.

The Problem We Solve

While workload monitoring is standard, recovery—the other 22 hours of an athlete's day—remains a black box, leading to billions in lost value through preventable injuries and suboptimal performance.

Traditional approaches rely on subjective measures and disconnected data points, missing the complex interplay of factors that influence recovery.

Our Approach

We combine cutting-edge AI with sports science to create personalized recovery profiles for each athlete, identifying the unique factors that impact their recovery and performance.

By connecting the dots between sleep, nutrition, mental state, and physical readiness, we provide actionable insights that help teams maximize athlete availability and performance.
