Three short games. No questionnaires. CageWork Labs measures how a young athlete actually decides, adapts, recovers, and leads — then turns it into a report built around their strengths.

The assessment

Three games. One picture of how you play.

Athletes don’t fill out a survey — they play. Each game is designed to surface a different side of how a competitor thinks and responds under pressure.

GAME 1

The Fast Break

Decision speed · Pattern recognition

Read the field from above, spot the open lane, and make split-second calls. We watch how fast — and how well — you decide as the reads get harder.

GAME 2
🔥

The Comeback

Resilience · Emotional control

The game throws intentional setbacks at you. What matters isn’t the setback — it’s how quickly and how steadily you respond after it.

GAME 3
🤝

The Assist

Leadership · Team dynamics

Lead AI teammates of different skill levels through a challenge. How you direct, adapt, and support struggling teammates reveals your leadership style.

What we measure

Ten developmental traits, four sides of a competitor.

Every trait is drawn from how you actually play across the three games — not from what you say about yourself.

Cognitive
  • Decision SpeedHow quickly you process a situation and commit — adjusted so fast-but-wrong doesn’t count.
  • Pattern RecognitionSpotting recurring formations and anticipating what comes next.
  • Cognitive ComplexityHolding performance together as the decisions get harder.
Competitive
  • Risk ToleranceA calibrated willingness to take smart risks — not just reckless ones.
  • Competitive DriveTurning the intensity up when you’re challenged or behind.
Emotional
  • ResilienceHow fully and how fast you recover after a setback.
  • Emotional ControlStaying steady and consistent when things go wrong.
Interpersonal
  • CoachabilityAdapting your approach based on the feedback you’re getting.
  • LeadershipTaking initiative and making decisive calls under pressure.
  • Team OrientationPutting the collective result ahead of personal stats.
How it works

From first game to full profile in about 12 minutes.

1

Tell us the basics

A quick intake — name, age, sport, level. That’s it. No long forms.

2

Play three games

Each takes a few minutes on a laptop or phone. They’re built to be genuinely engaging.

3

We score the behavior

Every decision, recovery, and call is turned into ten trait scores.

4

Get your profile

A strengths-based report you can download, revisit, and talk through with a coach.

Why you can trust the read

Confidence comes from method, not marketing.

We’re honest about what this is: a developmental tool to open conversations, not a verdict on an athlete’s ceiling.

Behavior, not self-report

We score how you actually play under pressure — not how you rate yourself on a questionnaire.

Triangulated across games

Each trait draws on multiple moments across all three games, so no single play defines you.

Transparent & auditable

Every score traces back to specific in-game behavior. The logic is documented, not a black box.

Built to develop

The report names strengths and one clear opportunity to grow — meant to be used alongside coaching, not to rank or label.

Your data

An athlete’s data belongs to the athlete.

We handle results carefully — especially for young athletes.

🔒
Private by design

Results are submitted to a secure database. The website can only send results in — it can never read anyone else’s data back.

Encrypted in transit

Every page and every submission is served over HTTPS, end to end.

Never sold

Individual results are never sold or shared with recruiters. Any future norms use anonymized data only.

You’re in control

As the program running the assessment, you decide what happens with the data you collect.
