See what our athletes have done first
See player resultsThe reality about speed.
Our elite standard for a 15 year old is 32 kilometres per hour. Running 35 kilometres per hour and above is professional territory, and almost nobody who ever plays the game gets there.
The players on these pages are the best results out of more than 1,000 athletes we have measured: the most driven players, who turned up every week for years. That's the level. That's where this takes you when you do the work.
What you get.
Every number measured: on electronic timing gates and 240 frames per second film. Never guessed, and every test chosen because it tracks real performance.
Your numbers against the level above: set against your age group and against the world's best.
The limiter costing you the most: named on your own footage, in a written report plus a 10 to 15 minute voiceover from Anthony.
Your priorities, in order: three of them, each with a 12 month target.
A straight answer: if the programme isn't worth doing for your player, even if that loses us the sale.
Don't apply if.
Your athlete is under 13, or not on a high-level pathway yet: we'll tell you where to start instead. Over 24? The online assessment is built for you.
You want a quick fix: before trials in three weeks.

If that reads as harsh, good. The families who get the most from this read it and apply anyway.
