Get Started with a performance evaluation
Every athlete begins with an evaluation. We assess speed, strength, power, and movement quality to build the right training plan from day one. This assessment includes speed testing, jump analysis, strength screening, and movement evaluation. It allows us to establish a performance baseline and build an individualized training plan based on your athlete’s needs.
Our Assessment Process
1. Athlete Questionnaire
We begin with a short questionnaire to understand:
Sport and position
Training history
Performance goals
Current weekly schedule
This allows us to individualize training around competition demands, training experience, and recovery needs.
2. Warm-Up & Movement Prep
Athletes go through a structured warm-up to prepare for testing and allow us to observe movement quality and coordination.
3. Jump & Reactive Strength Testing
We use a jump mat system to assess:
Vertical jump
Reactive strength
Explosive power
This shows us how much explosive power your athlete currently has and how efficiently they move. It helps us determine what type of training will help them improve the fastest.
4. Sprint & Change of Direction Testing
Using laser timing gates, we measure:
Acceleration
Top speed
Change of direction ability
This gives us precise data so we can help your athlete get faster in a measurable way.
5. Horizontal Power Testing
We perform broad jump and triple jump testing to evaluate lower-body horizontal power and symmetry
This helps us build a complete athletic profile for your athlete.
6. Results & Personalized Plan
After testing, we review results in-office with you and your athlete and discuss:
Strengths and limitations
Recommended training frequency
Scheduling around sport commitments
The best program option moving forward
We review the results together and recommend a training plan based on your athlete’s goals, testing results, and weekly schedule. Our goal is to give them the right amount of training — not too little, not too much — so they can improve while recovering properly.
Why WE ASSESS and Don’t Guess
Most programs start with workouts. We start with data.
Testing creates a clear baseline, allows us to track measurable progress, and ensures each athlete is placed in the right level of training from the beginning.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
The evaluation is completely free. It’s the first step so we can understand your athlete and show you exactly how we can help.
-
Plan for approximately 60 minutes.
The testing portion takes about 45 minutes, followed by a short consultation to review results and discuss the best training plan moving forward.
-
Yes. Please have your athlete wear athletic clothing and running shoes.
We also recommend bringing a water bottle.
-
No. While our evaluation process includes performance testing for athletes, adult clients are not required to complete sprint or jump assessments.
For adults, the evaluation can focus on movement quality, strength assessment, training history, and a discussion of your goals. If you prefer a consultation-based session rather than performance testing, that option is available.
The purpose of the evaluation is to understand where you are now and build the right training plan for you — whether that includes athletic performance testing or a more general strength and longevity focus.
-
No. There is no obligation to enroll.
The purpose of the evaluation is to determine whether our training environment is the right fit. We understand that our program isn’t for everyone, and if we feel it may not be the best fit for your athlete, we will let you know.
Our goal is alignment, not pressure.
-
No problem. We just ask that you provide at least 6 hours’ notice.
This allows us to respect our coaches’ time and offer the appointment to another athlete if needed.
-
We require a card on file to reserve your appointment time.
Your card will not be charged at the time of booking.
It is only used if the appointment is missed or canceled with less than 6 hours’ notice, in accordance with our booking policy.
Just like a hotel holds a card for incidentals, this ensures we can respect our coaches’ time and maintain scheduling integrity for all athletes.
