Charlie speaks of how no testing is ever done because testing is allways being done…this stuff is brilliant and he can see this daily. Not fair…
Speed Kills-
Go to the CFTS and look at the interview on testing…can you see the tests? Is it hurdle mobility or range of motion evaluation? Is it squating or CNS evaluation? Fucking Fractals…
That’s an excellent and very deep point, Clemson. I think the reason I ask is that I am in fact so anal-retentive that I like to see consistent markers of improvement, and often with team sport athletes it’s hard to get solid results for improvement by looking at the box score. For instance, one of my male basketball players girlfriend was working with another coach on her vertical leap and conditioning: Well, this guy never measured her vertical to begin with and at the end of the summer the girl asks if she can test her vertical and the guy sits down on a swiss ball and says, “Can you jump for me?” so she jumps and he stands up and says, “Yeah, you’re jumping higher.”
Often I also like to be able to discuss with parents or coaches a timeline to expect a reasonable amount of improvement and to justify cost. Thanks again. I’m going to look at the CFTS this evening.
