At F2P we think it is critical to measure progress. Measurement through testing allows the athlete critical feedback as well as the satisfaction of seeing progress towards attaining their goal. Measurement allows athletes and parents to appreciate the value of consistent training. At F2P we track measurable statistics, but unlike other trainers, we think it is critical to also monitor alignment, technique, and other critical elements of an athlete’s movements which are not easily measured. The staff at F2P monitors these intangibles, which are the foundation of success.

At F2P every new athlete is subject to an initial assessment where a number of test and measurements are taken. Coach Nick will measure basic strength qualities, speed, change of direction, and a number of other factors. These data points set a base line from which progress can be judged.

Not every session will call for tracking of numbers. Progress is tracked throughout the program, but not during every session (from a numbers standpoint). It isn’t just about tracking data and measurable. It’s about tracking alignment and technique, which will help the measureables and it is those things that are looked at in each session.

Progress is important considering the effort and money that goes into training. We can record statistics in the facility, but at the end of the day, performance on the field will be the best judge of our success.
