Unlock Your Athletic Potential: The Athlete Academy Combine – Bring a Friend

The Athlete Academy is thrilled to announce an exclusive “Bring a Friend” Combine event, a unique opportunity for young team sports athletes to experience professional-grade athletic testing alongside a teammate. This isn’t just another training session; it’s a chance to gain invaluable insights into performance, compete in a supportive environment, and share an unforgettable experience.

Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 2nd, with two limited sessions available:

• 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
• 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM.

What is The Athlete Academy Combine?

At The Athlete Academy, we believe in evidence-based development. The Combine is designed to provide objective data on key athletic attributes, moving beyond subjective assessments. This professional athletic assessment uses cutting-edge testing protocols to measure speed, power, and strength, giving athletes a clear picture of their current physical profile. Understanding these metrics is the first step towards targeted improvement and long-term athletic success.

The 5 Elite Challenges

Participants will compete across five dynamic challenges, each carefully selected to assess crucial components of athletic performance:

1. 10m Acceleration

This test measures how quickly an athlete can accelerate from a standstill. It’s a direct indicator of explosive speed and initial burst, vital for sports requiring rapid changes in pace, like football, rugby, and basketball.

2. Standing Broad Jump

Assessing horizontal power and lower body explosiveness, the standing broad jump reveals an athlete’s ability to generate force through their legs and hips. This translates directly to powerful accelerations and landings in various sporting movements.

3. Counter Movement Jump

This vertical jump test measures an athlete’s ability to rapidly absorb force and then generate an explosive upward movement. It’s a key indicator of vertical power, crucial for jumping, rebounding, and aerial contests in sports.

4. Reactive Strength Index (RSI)

Often overlooked, RSI measures how efficiently an athlete’s muscles can absorb and re-apply force. This is critical for agility, quick changes of direction, and reducing injury risk in fast-paced team sports.

5. Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull

This test provides a precise measure of maximal strength and force production. It assesses an athlete’s raw power, which is a foundational element for all other athletic movements and overall physical robustness.

Compete & Gain Insight: The Leaderboard & Personalized Data Report

The Combine isn’t just about testing; it’s about engagement and insight. Athletes will compete for top spots on our exclusive leaderboard, fostering a healthy sense of competition and motivation.
