Sports Performance Evaluation
The fastest way to become a better athlete starts with an honest assessment of the athlete’s current abilities, whatever their age or sport. Without the first step of the athletic performance evaluation, it is impossible to realistically create sports performance goals and monitor progress.
The Sports Performance Evaluation is critical to every athlete in our program for four main reasons:
- It assesses the current level of an athlete’s ability.
- It allows for proper grouping of the athlete in our program.
- It allows for the proper exercise prescription to be developed.
- It allows us to record and monitor progress while in our program.
The evaluation aspect of our program is what we consider the most important. Without understanding individual strengths and weaknesses of you or your athlete, you cannot be sure that you are working on the right needs in training.
The athletic performance evaluation is a mandatory event for every athlete that enters the Parisi Program. During the sports performance evaluation, the athletes will be taught our signature dynamic warmup, be examined during our Running Analysis Procedures, and tested in a battery of physical speed and strength tests. After the sports performance evaluation, every athlete and parent will meet individually with the Head Evaluator and review the results. At that time, the parent and athlete have the correct information to select the appropriate program to fit his or her needs.
At Parisi Speed School, we place a high priority on tracking athletic performance. We strive to stay in touch with parents on how young athletes are improving. We believe that watching their hard work pay off provides our athletes with a sense of accomplishment and confidence that will stay with them long-term.
