MyDNA Kids for sports academies and enrichment schools

Fuel, recovery and sleep, sorted with the parents at home

Parents of active children want to know what to feed them before a session and how to settle them after.

MyDNA Kids gives them a DNA review of their child’s nutrition, sleep and movement tendencies, walked through by a consultant. The results are the parent’s to share, and a parent who tells the coach what they learned can help the child train and recover well.

Coaches get asked about food and sleep, and it isn't their brief

Parents ask your coaches and teachers what their child should eat before training and why they’re wiped out afterwards. A good academy knows that nutrition advice isn’t the coach’s job.

Families also weigh up programmes every term, so the things that show you care about the child off the pitch or out of the studio count for more than they look.

The partnership

Good for your academy. Better for your families.

What your academy gets
What your families get

Your coaches stay coaches

Food and sleep questions have somewhere to go: a MyDNA consultant who sits down with the parent. Your team keeps to coaching and teaching.

Fuel for training days

The review covers how a child tends to take up iron, calcium and vitamin D, with food ideas for before and after sessions that suit a Singapore kitchen.

One more reason to re-enrol

A parent benefit built around looking after the whole child gives families another reason to stay with you next term.

Recovery and sleep

Deep sleep and body clock reports feed into bedtime routines that fit around evening training and early starts.

Kept with the family

We never send your academy a result or a list of who took part. Everything stays between MyDNA and the parent unless the parent chooses to share what they learn with you, which is their decision.

Movement at home

Reports such as endurance and flexibility become ideas for active play and for warming up with a little extra care. They describe tendencies, nothing more.
What the reports cover

The reports behind fuel, recovery and movement

A few of the 500+ reports behind the food, recovery and movement side of a child’s review, named exactly as parents see them in their own account. Each shows a tendency, not a certainty. Genes don’t change, but the reports update as research advances, at no extra cost.

Genetics is about 30% of the picture

The other 70% is what a person does with it. That’s why every kit comes with a MyDNA consultant who explains the results and builds a plan with the parent. Included in the price, not sold on top.

How it works, and we do most of it

Step 1

A first conversation

We meet your head coach, principal or owner, talk about your families and agree what would suit them. The plan and any partner terms are put in writing.

Step 2

Let parents know

Share our parent letter through your usual channels, or put a notice up where parents wait. That’s the whole ask of your team.

Step 3

We host

A MyDNA consultant runs a parent talk or a coffee morning at a time that suits your parents. Parents who want to go ahead contact MyDNA directly.

Step 4

Families take it from there

The sample is collected with the parent there, at home or wherever suits the family, and the review is delivered one to one. Your academy has no part in results unless a parent chooses to share theirs with you.

Pick the format that suits your academy

Parent coffee morning

A relaxed table where parents waiting on the sidelines can chat to a consultant for a few minutes, pick up the parent letter and ask about food and sleep for active children.

BEST FOR
Regular sessions where parents wait on site

Parent talk on fuel and sleep

A talk for parents on eating around training, recovery and bedtimes for active children, and on what a child’s DNA can and can’t tell a parent.

BEST FOR
Season or term launches, at a time that suits your parents

Parent-benefit partnership

A standing arrangement where your families can take up MyDNA Kids on terms agreed with your academy.

BEST FOR
Academies that want a family benefit to mention at sign-up

Partner terms are agreed on application. Talk to us and we’ll put a proposal together for you.

Results belong to the parent.

Your academy only sees a result if the parent chooses to share it. MyDNA never passes on a result, a list of who took part or any grouping of children. Data is never sold, leased or shared with third parties.
