WHOLE-ATHLETE ASSESSMENTS

Assess the whole athlete. Build a better plan.

An age-aware review of the athlete’s full development picture—turned into clear priorities and practical next steps.

UNDERSTAND · PRIORITIZE · REASSESS

WHY ASSESS

Testing is useful only when it improves the next decision.

Summit 2911 assessments help athletes and families understand what is supporting development, what may be limiting progress and what to prioritize next.

Physical testing may be part of the process, but the objective is broader: connect performance data with recovery, nutrition habits, mindset, lifestyle demands and the athlete’s total environment.

THE WHOLE-ATHLETE REVIEW

Seven areas. One development picture.

The review is scaled to the athlete’s age, training history, goals and current needs.

01

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

Movement, strength, power, speed, conditioning, coordination, training age, growth stage, injury history and current workload.

02

MENTAL PERFORMANCE

Confidence, focus, motivation, response to mistakes, stress response, communication, self-awareness and performance habits.

03

NUTRITION + FUELING

Meal consistency, hydration, fueling before and after training, eating enough to support growth and when a qualified referral is appropriate.

04

RECOVERY + READINESS

Sleep, soreness, energy, mood, schedule demands, travel, school stress and the habits that support recovery and progress.

05

CHARACTER + LIFESTYLE

Responsibility, leadership, identity outside sport, consistency, coachability, communication and response to adversity.

06

SPORT + TRAINING ENVIRONMENT

Team demands, private training, school workload, competition calendar and whether the total environment supports development.

07

FINANCIAL READINESS · IF NEEDED

Travel sport, showcases, college planning, NIL questions and identifying when qualified financial, tax or legal support is needed.

SELECTED ASSESSMENT TOOLS

Use the measures that support the decision.

No testing for testing’s sake. Physical and mental-performance tools are selected based on relevance, readiness and the question the assessment needs to answer.

01

FMS + MOVEMENT ANALYSIS

Observe movement patterns, mobility, stability, coordination and motor control.

02

FORCE-PLATE ANALYSIS

Evaluate jump strategy, force production, braking, side-to-side differences and how the athlete produces and absorbs force.

03

VO₂ + AEROBIC TESTING

Assess aerobic fitness and recovery capacity to guide conditioning decisions.

04

STRENGTH + POWER TESTING

Establish safe, relevant baselines using age- and training-appropriate methods.

05

MENTAL-PERFORMANCE PROFILE

Explore confidence, focus, stress response, motivation, communication and performance habits.

THE PROCESS

Clear by design.

01

Intake

Age, sport, goals, history, schedule and current concerns.

02

Review + assess

Examine the full development picture and select relevant measures.

03

Interpret

Connect the findings across pillars rather than treating them in isolation.

04

Plan

Deliver priorities, next steps, referral needs and a reassessment timeline.

WHAT FAMILIES RECEIVE

A usable development roadmap.

ASSESSMENT APPROACH

Virtual or onsite. Always custom.

The format and included components are selected around the athlete’s age, sport, goals, available data and the questions the family needs answered.

VIRTUAL WHOLE-ATHLETE REVIEW

Available nationwide

A virtual review may include an intake conversation, review of available information, mental-performance profile, schedule and workload review, recovery and fueling context, and a written development plan.

These are examples. The final plan includes only what supports the athlete’s question.

ONSITE WHOLE-ATHLETE ASSESSMENT

San Antonio, TX

An onsite assessment may include movement screening, force-plate analysis, speed, strength, aerobic or mental-performance assessment and a findings consultation.

Testing is selected for relevance—not assigned as a fixed battery.

CUSTOM PLAN + PRICE

There is no standard package or published price. Price depends on the athlete, question, format, location, selected assessment components, what is delivered and follow-up. You will know what is included and the price before work begins.

OPEN EDUCATION + INDIVIDUAL DIRECTION

Use the library. Book depth when context matters.

The resource library is open to everyone. An individual assessment is separate custom work built around one athlete’s goals, environment and most important development questions.
