How it works
Spotlight keeps it simple: the loudest plays rise to the Jumbotron, the feed stays positive, and every athlete has a Locker where their journey lives over time.
Jumbotron
Youth / Amateur / College / ProThe top cheered-for highlights show up in the Jumbotron by level — so great plays get celebrated without needing likes, comments, or drama.
Feed
Safe discoveryThe feed scrolls vertically with highlights from athletes you support plus smart suggestions (your sports, your area, your vibe) — all powered by cheering, not comment wars.
Athlete Locker
Identity over timeEvery athlete has a Spotlight Card + Locker — a clean, positive place to store their best moments, milestones, and growth across seasons.
Safety-first by design
No DMs
Fans can support athletes, but there is no direct contact. No messages. No sliding into anything. Ever.
No comments
No comment sections means no toxicity, no bullying, and no pressure. Cheering happens through Voice — not opinions.
No public social graph
Fans don’t see who other fans follow. Athletes can see who’s in their crowd (for control), but the public can’t.

The world has social & professional identity platforms —
but nothing for sports.
Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok are social identity platforms.
LinkedIn is the professional identity platform.
But for athletes — especially kids — there has never been a safe place designed to follow them through their sports journey, capture their growth, and build a lifelong record of who they are as an athlete.
Everything else forces young athletes into platforms that weren’t built for them — public comments, DMs, pressure to perform, and exposure they shouldn’t have to navigate just to share something they love.
Spotlight and Spotlight ID were built to create the world’s first sports identity platform — one that grows with an athlete from their first highlight to their final season, while staying positive, controlled, and safe at every step.
It’s about identity.
A place where athletes can look back years from now and see the full story — the work, the progress, the setbacks, the wins — all captured in one safe, intentional system.
Spotlight shows the moments.
Spotlight ID preserves the journey.
