PBHero is a personal-best tracker for young athletes — built for parents. Track every result across track, field, swimming and custom events. Turn every attempt into a visible story of growth.
Jarrod here — I'm a PE teacher and dad of two young athletes.
I spent a lot of last year standing on Athletics track watching my daughters race. There's a very specific look on their face when they've just beaten their own time — and I kept thinking about how to make that feeling stick.
The problem is personal bests live in kids' heads. A number from a meet in September, another from last weekend, no line connecting them. They don't see their own progress. And the parents scribbling times in the Notes app aren't much better.
So I built PBHero — a personal-best tracker designed for young athletes and their parents. You log every result across track, field, swimming, or any custom event, and the app turns it into a visible growth story. Every PB gets confetti, a new petal on their hero sigil, a new landmark on their personal island. Kids can reflect on each PB with voice, video or photos. There's even a parent-designed reward shop where they earn and redeem shards.
The approach evolved a lot during the build. It started as a simple spreadsheet replacement, but watching how my kids responded to seeing "then vs now" comparisons and earning visual rewards shifted the whole design toward growth mindset and celebration. I leaned into self-determination theory — rewarding effort and reflection, not just podium times.
Privacy was non-negotiable from day one. Everything stays on-device. No servers, no analytics, no cloud syncing your child's data. Even voice reflections are transcribed locally.
Free to use for one child. PBHero Family unlocks more profiles, rewards and charts with a 7-day free trial.
Would love your feedback — especially from other other sports parents.
