Athlete Assessment Protocol
Before and after measurement
This is a measurement tool, not a promiseSP60 measures every athlete before and after the program. The results belong to that athlete and are shared privately with the coach and parent. Standard Performance does not publish improvement targets or guarantee specific outcomes. The data tells the story. The program provides the environment for athletes to improve.
What this document is, and is not
| What it is | What it is not |
|---|---|
| A testing protocol for Day 1 and post-program measurement | A guarantee of specific performance improvements |
| An internal tool for coaches to evaluate program effectiveness | A marketing document or public benchmark |
| A private report for each athlete and their parent | A ranking or comparison between athletes |
| A longitudinal record of individual athlete progress | A substitute for qualified coaching or medical evaluation |
The five measurables
| # | Measurable | Who | Equipment | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Throwing Velocity | All athletes | Radar gun | Primary performance output of SP60. Tracks arm development directly. |
| 2 | Home-to-First Sprint | 10U and 11-12U | Stopwatch / Timer | Baserunning speed. Standard youth baseball evaluation metric. |
| 3 | 60-Yard Dash | 13-14U | Stopwatch / Timer | Universal baseball speed standard. Used at every level from showcase to draft. |
| 4 | Box Jump (max height) | All athletes | Plyometric box / Tape | Lower-body explosive power. Correlates to sprint speed and rotational force. |
| 5 | Broad Jump (max distance) | All athletes | Tape measure | Horizontal power output. Tracks athleticism independent of vertical jump. |
Pre-program testing is mandatory on Day 1. Without a baseline there is nothing to measure against, and the athlete loses the one thing this program can prove.
Population benchmarks — context for coaches
| Metric | 10U (age 9-10) | 11-12U | 13-14U | Source context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Throwing Velocity | 42-56 MPH | 52-65 MPH | 60-76 MPH | Driveline Baseball aging curves; WIN Reality benchmarks |
| Home-to-First Sprint | 4.4-5.0 sec | 4.0-4.6 sec | N/A | Youth baseball timing norms; varies by surface |
| 60-Yard Dash | N/A | N/A | 7.2-8.5 sec | Showcase standard; elite 13-14U often sub-7.5 |
| Box Jump | 14-22 in | 18-26 in | 22-30 in | Vertical jump norms adapted for box jump (NSCA data) |
| Broad Jump | 4-5.5 ft | 5-6.5 ft | 6-8 ft | NSCA horizontal power norms; athlete testing data |
These ranges show where typical players test at each age. They are context for coaches, not targets an athlete must hit. An athlete who improves against their own baseline has succeeded regardless of where they sit in these ranges.
On velocity rangesThe ranges above reflect where players typically test at each age, not what SP60 guarantees. Velocity development depends on age, physical maturity, prior training and mechanics. A well executed program can produce an average gain of 1 to 4 MPH. Individual results vary.
What gets measured gets improved.Confidential. Results are private to the athlete, their parent or guardian, and their coach. Standard Performance does not publish athlete results, rank athletes against one another, or guarantee performance outcomes. This protocol is not a substitute for qualified coaching or medical evaluation.
