KALM's proprietary esports athlete development framework. A cyclical, evidence-based model combining WHO and IOC Medical Commission recommendations with tools proven across esports and traditional sport.
COMPETE is cyclical. Athletes do not graduate from one stage to the next and forget the last — they return, recalibrate, and rebuild. The acronym anchors every engagement: Competitive · Performance · Evaluation · Talent · Education.
Competitive readiness — assessing where athletes stand, identifying the right venues to compete, and building structured pathways into international competition.
Performance development — physical, cognitive, and mental systems. Training, recovery, and the daily practices that sustain elite play.
Continuous evaluation — measurement, dashboards, and decision intelligence at every stage. Outcomes replace assumptions.
Talent identification & development — proprietary screening, baseline assessment, and pathway design from grassroots to elite.
Educational frameworks for athletes, coaches, parents, and institutional partners. Knowledge that travels with the programme.
Every COMPETE stage is assessed and developed across four cross-cutting dimensions. A champion is not one capability — it is four, held together.
Physical readiness, sports medicine, injury prevention, recovery, ergonomics, posture, nutrition, sleep. Aligned to IOC Medical Commission guidance.
Cognitive performance, vision, reaction, decision-making, mental health, stress management, mindfulness. Built on Stanford Vision Performance Lab lineage.
NIL strategy, digital safety, reputation, commercial readiness, media training. Protecting what an athlete is — and what they build.
Contracts, financial literacy, career planning, post-competition pathway. Athletes treated as long-term professionals, not one-season assets.
COMPETE is built on measurement. Every observation uses tools with peer-reviewed lineage or proprietary IP developed by KALM's founders.
Cognitive training and assessment platform built on Dr. Khaderi's Vision Performance Lab research at Stanford. Measures perception, decision-making, and motor response under pressure.
Cognitive tracking tool used in professional sport and esports. Certified KALM practitioners deliver structured baselines and longitudinal monitoring.
Established wellbeing index for daily athlete check-ins and longitudinal monitoring of fatigue, stress, sleep, and muscle soreness. Integrates with the Global Gaming operating platform.
A short-form intensive COMPETE cohort for schools, running across the stages. Baselines, mastery, fixtures, and a full evaluation report.
A structured pilot deployed at federation or academy level, running the full COMPETE cycle across a cohort of athletes on the Global Gaming operating platform.
Path to Podium and Road to Gold — domestic scholastic pathway plus elite international pathway. Integrated talent identification through Global Games representation.
COMPETE is KALM's proprietary esports athlete development framework. The acronym stands for Competitive · Performance · Evaluation · Talent · Education — five disciplines that run cyclically and are deployed across the 4Bs (Body, Brain, Brand, Business). Federations, academies, and schools use COMPETE to identify, develop, protect, and commercialise esports athletes.
The 4Bs are the four cross-cutting dimensions of athlete development that run through every stage of COMPETE. Body: physical readiness and sports medicine. Brain: cognitive performance, vision, and mental health. Brand: NIL, reputation, and commercial readiness. Business: long-term career, financial literacy, and post-competition pathway.
COMPETE is built for esports but integrates methods proven in traditional sport. It works in school settings, national federations, clubs, and elite international pathways. KALM's physicians have served the NBA, WNBA, and NBA 2K League bench.
Deployment scales to the partner. Short-form cohorts for schools, structured pilots for federations and clubs, and multi-year national pathways integrating Path to Podium (domestic scholastic and university) and Road to Gold (elite international).
COMPETE is designed around WHO and IOC Medical Commission guidance for athlete wellbeing. KALM's Dr. Melita Moore chairs the Global Esports Federation's Health & Wellness Commission and advises the IOC, WHO, UNESCO, and ITU.
KALMind (KALM's proprietary cognitive platform built on Stanford Vision Performance Lab lineage), NeuroTrackerX (clinical cognitive tracking), and the Hooper Index for daily wellbeing check-ins. The Global Gaming platform provides the operating layer for teams, rosters, training plans, and dashboards.
