Bridge is the superior alternative. I’ve looked at a lot of other platforms prior to the pandemic because we wanted to stay progressing and switch to something better." ![091517_Craig_Rasmusse_Santa_Clarita_Headshot_Results_Fitness_SchlickArt-6610SRGBlowres-2-1](https://info.bridgeathletic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/091517_Craig_Rasmusse_Santa_Clarita_Headshot_Results_Fitness_SchlickArt-6610SRGBlowres-2-1.jpg?width=1509&height=2263&name=091517_Craig_Rasmusse_Santa_Clarita_Headshot_Results_Fitness_SchlickArt-6610SRGBlowres-2-1.jpg) Craig Rasmussen Results Fitness - “Athletes love that it gives everything we do a professional feel.

It also helps support a multidisciplinary approach for our athletes who see multiple practitioners as everyone can be engaged in the athlete's program." ![darcy norman 2](https://info.bridgeathletic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/darcy%20norman%202.jpeg?width=300&height=300&name=darcy%20norman%202.jpeg) Darcy Norman USMNT - "Bridge gave us a single system where we could get real-time updates of the loads that they were lifting. Even when we had 250 players traveling across North America. Now we could chart progress, make adaptations based upon objective and subjective information, and be much more effective in our prescription at an individual level ![clive-brewer_big](https://info.bridgeathletic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clive-brewer_big.png?width=1051&height=734&name=clive-brewer_big.png) Clive Brewer MLB + MLS "Overall, we want to be the most student-athlete-centered athletic department in the country.
