Lucid — Mind right, game tight. Mental training for athletes.

@rrhoover I had spent almost a decade working on systems to help foster the exchange of stories and ideas in the world (Twitter and Medium). After some disruptive life events (don't worry, everyone is ok!) I took a step back to consider what else is important to me. I knew I wanted to start and run a new company, and the vision for Lucid solidified during conversations with my co-founder, Soren Gordhamer, founder of the Wisdom2.0 conference. It's fun to be a founder again and I've never felt so good about the essence of a product I'm building!
Just want to chime in to say how excited I am for launch. Mindfulness needs a champion to teach people that are involved in high performance (sports, business, etc). There's a ton that you can teach to athletes and as another commenter said, this is an area that's severely undertrained.
Heya. CEO and Co-founder here. Happy to answer any questions about Lucid, mental training, or just starting a tech company! I founded a few companies before joining the Twitter crew very early on and I most recently helped Ev Williams start Medium, where I ran a few different teams for 4 years. I love tech, mindfulness, and sports... Lucid sits in the intersection of the three and I couldn't be more proud to make this wisdom, these skills, and these life lessons available to everyone, even if you aren't an elite athlete.
@stirman Hi, when do you expect it to be available beyond the US store? Would love to try it but it's not in the UK App Store yet.
@tangandhara We'll be expanding to the UK App Store in a week or two, stay tuned :)
Love this idea. I've been a competitive athlete for 10+ years and it's amazing how much the mental game is overlooked and under trained.
My gut tells me that the "stickiness" factor will be a challenge to scalability. Social validation is important here... I.e. an athlete's teammates using the app as well. Are you planning on selling direct to teams to help overcome this?
@noahsfriedman Yep! We are targeting teams, leagues, and large organizations for this exact reason. Several very interesting conversations in progress, stay tuned! Thx for the thoughts!
