The Science

How we evaluate the person behind the talent.

The assessment is a behavioral evaluation grounded in axiology that scores 20 key performance behaviors on a 0–100% scale with approximately 92% accuracy, mapped into four zones (Critical, Needs Work, Solid, Elite), alongside a communication-style profile and learning style. It is administered individually and reviewed one-on-one — the underlying assessment and scoring methodology are not published.

What it measures

Twenty key performance behaviors, grouped into five areas coaches and front offices consistently tell us matter most:

Execution under pressure

Focus, decisiveness, and problem-solving speed and quality in high-stress, high-energy moments.

Team dynamics

Appropriate assertiveness, communication style, and how leadership actually gets presented to a locker room.

Work ethic & coachability

Reliability, follow-through, and how directions and feedback actually get implemented.

Resilience

Stress management, self-criticism, and the ability to compartmentalize personal stress under competition.

Self-awareness

How the athlete views themselves, their relationship to the game, and their capacity for growth.

Communication & learning style

A matrix of outgoing, diplomatic, and direct tendencies — and the learning style that follows from it.

The Scoring Model

Four zones, not a pass/fail grade.

Every behavior is scored 0–100% and mapped into a zone. A single low score doesn’t mean passing on an athlete — it means knowing precisely where to focus development, and how urgently.

From assessment to action

Findings translate into a private, individualized development plan — delivered and explained through a one-on-one consultation, not a self-serve report. That’s deliberate: the value is in the interpretation and the plan, not the raw score.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a personality test?

No. Generic personality assessments are typically only 50–60% accurate and rarely produce anything a coaching staff can act on. Our model is grounded in axiology — the study of how a person’s values shape behavior — and is designed around approximately 92% assessment accuracy.

How accurate is the assessment?

The model is designed around approximately 92% accuracy, scoring 20 key performance behaviors on a 0–100% scale across four zones: Critical, Needs Work, Solid, and Elite.

Can we see the assessment questions or scoring methodology before booking a consultation?

No. The underlying assessment, its questions, and its scoring formulas are proprietary and are not published. Results and their implications are reviewed one-on-one as part of a consultation.

Who administers the assessment?

Evaluators with direct, hands-on experience across professional football, multiple college sports, and elite high school recruiting — not a generic off-the-shelf testing service.

How is this different from combine testing or game film?

Combine numbers and film document physical and technical talent. This measures the behavioral and psychological factors underneath that talent — the factors that most often determine whether it translates into sustained performance, coachability, and team fit.
