Frequently Asked Questions
What SportsBrain is, what it does, who it serves, what it costs, and why Caribbean programs that skip sports AI leave performance and revenue on the table. Built in Jamaica. Built for the Caribbean.
The Basics
SportsBrain is the first AI Sports Lab in Latin America and the Caribbean. It applies artificial intelligence to talent discovery, performance analytics, injury prevention, anti-doping intelligence, sports nutrition, and AI coaching for Caribbean athletes, from grassroots schools to elite national programs. SportsBrain was founded in Kingston, Jamaica and cofounded by brothers Adrian and Nicholas Dunkley in memory of their Uncle Junior, who believed in the power of Caribbean sport to change lives.
SportsBrain builds six core technologies. AI talent discovery surfaces athletic potential from primary schools through to national programs using biometric assessment, movement analysis, and predictive modelling. Performance analytics reads wearables, GPS, and video to give coaches a full picture of each athlete. The AI coaching system analyzes opponents and simulates tactics. Injury prevention flags risk before it becomes injury. Sports nutrition AI builds plans around Caribbean food and climate. Anti-doping intelligence protects clean sport through biological passport analysis. Every system explains its insights in plain language a coach can use. See the full breakdown on the technology page.
SportsBrain is built for national federations, sports academies, schools, government agencies, and private clubs across the Caribbean, plus the athletes and coaches inside them. We work with talent identification at the primary and prep school level all the way up to senior national team preparation. If your program is serious about building a data-driven edge, SportsBrain is built for you.
SportsBrain covers football, track and field, cricket, swimming, netball, and basketball, with deep specialisation in the disciplines where the Caribbean is globally competitive. Our sprint analytics and biomechanical modeling are tuned for Caribbean sprinters and field athletes, and our tactical AI supports football programs including Jamaica's Reggae Boyz.
SportsBrain's injury prevention is prescriptive, not just predictive. It analyzes training loads, physiological data, and historical injury patterns to flag risk before it becomes a real injury, then recommends load adjustments. Integrated with structured training programs, the system has shown the potential to reduce soft tissue injuries by up to 30%.
SportsBrain's AI coaching system acts as an intelligent assistant coach. It analyzes the opposition, simulates tactical scenarios, and produces data-driven game plans. It learns your team, adapts to your playing style, and surfaces insights in plain language, so any coach can act on them without a data science background.
Why It Matters
Global sports AI vendors are built for European football and US franchises. SportsBrain is built in and for the Caribbean: our models account for our climate, our budgets, our food, and the physiological profiles of Caribbean athletes. We are the first AI Sports Lab in Latin America and the Caribbean, funded in part by the Jamaican Government, and we deliver world-class sports science at a cost Caribbean programs can actually afford.
SportsBrain is the first AI Sports Lab in Latin America and the Caribbean and the only sports AI platform built natively for the region. It ran the first Caribbean AI Sports Youth Football Combine in 2023, received a Development Bank of Jamaica Ignite grant, and is part of the StarApple AI ecosystem, the Caribbean's first AI company. No other regional platform combines talent discovery, performance analytics, injury prevention, nutrition, anti-doping, and AI coaching in one place.
Teams that skip sports AI fall behind the ones that do not. Without analytics you scout on gut feel and miss talent that data would surface, you manage training loads blind and lose athletes to preventable soft tissue injuries, and you walk into matches without knowing your opponent's weaknesses. The global AI sports market is on track to reach $27.6 billion by 2030, and teams using advanced analytics report win-rate improvements of up to 20%. Programs that wait leave performance, medals, and sponsorship revenue on the table while rivals compound their advantage.
Yes. SportsBrain handles athlete data responsibly and is built within the StarApple AI ecosystem's standards for safe and accountable AI. Our anti-doping intelligence is designed to protect clean athletes, identifying those who are definitively clean as well as flagging anomalies, so AI supports the integrity of Caribbean sport rather than undermining it.

Pricing and Getting Started
SportsBrain pricing is tailored to the size and goals of each program, because a primary school combine and a senior national federation have very different needs. We deliberately price for Caribbean budgets, so sports science is not reserved for the wealthiest leagues. Contact us at info@sportsbrain.tech with your sport and program and we will scope a plan that fits.
Getting started is simple. Email info@sportsbrain.tech or use the Partner With SportsBrain form with your name, organisation, and sport. We run a discovery conversation, identify the highest-value first project, usually performance analytics, talent discovery, or injury prevention, and design a pilot with measurable outcomes.
