    The Youth Athlete Evaluation

    The Roadmap to Performance

    At Face Your Fears Athletics, we take a data-driven approach to athlete development, going beyond basic assessments to create customized training programs that maximize performance. Our Youth Athlete Evaluation identifies key areas for improvement and provides a roadmap for training success.

    Every private training program starts here. Measure first, then train with purpose.

    What makes our evaluation different

    Inside the Evaluation

    Movement Assessment

    We analyze movement patterns to identify imbalances that could impact performance and increase injury risk, building a solid foundation for speed, strength, and agility.

    Sport-Specific Testing

    Whether an athlete needs more explosive jumping, faster sprint times, or improved agility, we use targeted testing built around their sport.

    Performance Profile & Program

    Combining testing with advanced strength profiling, we evaluate power output, movement efficiency, and loading requirements, then build individualized programming to fill performance gaps.

    Specialty evaluations

    Built for Your Athlete's Sport

    Basketball · Volleyball

    The Jumping Athlete

    For athletes who live above the rim and at the net. We test vertical and approach jump, reactive strength (RSI), and elastic efficiency, then combine the scores to pinpoint exactly which training will add inches to their jump.

    Track · Football Skill Positions

    The Speed Athlete

    For sprinters, receivers, and backs chasing top-end speed. Flying 10 sprint testing, standing broad jump, reactive strength scoring, and video running analysis on our TrueForm trainer. Combine-style testing that shows exactly where speed is won or lost.
