Sports Performance Assessments

Sports Performance Assessments

Sertoma Park · Provo, Utah

The Sports Performance Assessments provide youth and high school athletes with a hands-on, data-driven evaluation of sprint and distance running performance. Assessments are conducted outdoors at Sertoma Park, creating a realistic environment that reflects how athletes train and compete.

These assessments are designed for athletes in track & field, cross-country, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, baseball, tennis, and any sport where speed, acceleration, and endurance matter.

Who This Is For

• Youth and high school athletes (elementary, middle school, high school)

• Teams, clubs, or individual athletes

• Sports that require running fast, changing direction, or sustaining speed over distance

What We Measure

Our assessments focus on sprint and distance analysis, including:

• Sprint mechanics and acceleration

• Stride length, cadence, and ground contact patterns

• Running efficiency and posture

• Speed maintenance and fatigue indicators (distance athletes)

• Movement patterns that relate to injury risk and performance limits

Athletes receive objective feedback that connects technique to performance outcomes.

Program Introduction

We begin with a short overview explaining the purpose of the assessment and how data can be used to improve athletic performance.

Athlete Survey

Athletes complete a brief survey to capture baseline information, goals, and sport background.

Warm-Up and Instruction

Athletes perform a standard warm-up followed by targeted drills that provide context for the analysis.

Biomechanical & Performance Analysis

Using field-based data collection, we analyze sprinting and/or distance running in real time to evaluate movement patterns, efficiency, and speed-related metrics.
