Player Evaluation Is Evolving. But Psychology Has Been the Missing Piece

Drafting the right player isn’t just about stats, tape, or combine results. Teams want to understand the complete psychology of athletes:

Pressure Response

Drives & Motivations

Locker Room Dynamics

Until now, understanding athlete psychology meant relying on gut feel, interviews, or incomplete assessments. Receptiviti changes that by analyzing language data to surface scientifically validated psychological indicators. No guesswork. No self-reports. Just signals that matter.

Objective Psychological Measures from the Words Athletes Already Use

Receptiviti analyzes players' natural language: from interviews, pressers, or transcripts, and quantifies traits that influence performance, risk, and development potential.

Personality
(Big 5)

Coachability, openness, emotional stability

Interpersonal Traits

Leadership potential, assertiveness, team alignment

Drives & Motivators

Intrinsic motivation, power, affiliation.

Needs & Values

What players prioritize, and how that impacts fit

Thinking Styles

Intuition vs. deliberation under pressure

Social Dynamics

Communication, team cohesion, psychological safety

Using interview transcripts as input, we delivered psycholinguistic insights that shaped scouting reports and identified players with high leadership potential, cognitive resilience, and strong developmental outlooks.

Built on Science. Backed by Experience.

Receptiviti is grounded in decades of academic research and built on Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) — the world’s most validated approach to language analysis.
