The standard behind every article in the Athlete Journal.
Our articles are researched and prepared by professional sports writers. We use AI to help write early drafts. It is one of several tools we use, and every draft is checked, corrected and fact-checked by our writers before it moves forward. Facts and figures are verified against the sources listed on each article.
Every article is then reviewed by an athlete or coach with direct experience in the sport. They read the full article and check its claims for accuracy before it is published. Their name, credentials and review date are shown on the article.
Before publication, each article goes through a final editorial quality check. Articles that do not pass are sent back for revision.
Our reviewers are athletes and coaches who have competed at the collegiate, professional or Olympic level. Each reviewer covers the sport they competed in. Their profiles are available on our athletes page and on every article they have reviewed.
We rely on primary sources: rulebooks and standards from each sport's governing bodies, peer-reviewed sports-science research, and material from university athletics programs. Every article lists its sources at the end. Claims that cannot be verified against these sources are removed.
Each article shows its publication date. When we make a material change, such as a rule revision or a corrected figure, the article shows the date of that update. Minor fixes such as typos are made without notice.
