Three minutes. No name. Real numbers.

Teams can't get honest answers to these questions. An independent, anonymous survey can.

01

Answer off the record

About 15 quick taps. No login, no name, no team. Email is optional and never linked to your answers.

02

We count it

Answers are combined. Nothing is published from any group smaller than 10 athletes, so no one can be picked out.

03

Everyone sees the truth

Headline results are public. Athletes who take part get the full report, with breakdowns by sport, level and more, free.

HOW ANONYMITY WORKS

Built so you can be honest.

Athletes stay quiet because they're afraid of what it'll cost them. LockerIndex is independent of every team, league and sponsor, and it's designed so your answers can't come back to you.

No name, no login

We ask age range, sport, level and country. Never your name or team.

Email kept apart

If you want the results, your email goes in a separate list that's never linked to your answers.

Groups of 10+ only

Every published number comes from at least 10 athletes.

Never sold per person

No individual answer goes to a team, league, insurer or anyone else. Ever.

Independence pledge. Organizations can buy access to combined data and commission topics. No one can buy an individual answer or change a finding.

One topic at a time, on the things athletes keep to themselves.

Questions, answered.

What is LockerIndex?

LockerIndex runs independent, anonymous surveys of athletes on the things they won't say out loud, then publishes the results as public reports. The first report covers hidden concussions: how often athletes play through them, who they tell and why they stay quiet.

Is the survey really anonymous?

Yes. There's no login and no name, and email is optional. If you do leave an email for the results, it's stored separately and never linked to your answers. Every number we publish comes from groups of at least 10 athletes.

Who can take the survey?

Athletes 18 and older who play a contact sport at any level, from adult rec to pro. It takes about 3 minutes.

Who funds LockerIndex?

LockerIndex is independent. Organizations can pay for data access and custom breakdowns, but no team, league, sponsor or customer can see an individual answer or change a finding.

When are results published?

Headline numbers appear on the report page once 30 athletes have answered, and update as more people take part. Athletes who take the survey get the full report free.
