The ATP Athlete BluePrint
What Doesn’t Get Measured,
Doesn’t Improve.
How do you know how far you’ve come if you don’t know where you started?
Athleticism is one of the hardest things to track, and even worse off, there a million different types of tests you can do.
But which ones are the rights ones?
I’ve developed a comprehensive testing battery that looks at the fundamentals of what underpins Athleticism and what the important factors go into being ‘Athletic’.
“WHEN ATHLETES FAIL TO PLAN, THEY PLAN TO FAIL”
How do we combat against that? WE TEST
SPEED - POWER - STRENGTH - EXPLOSIVENESS - BIG - STRONG - LEAN - TOUGH - AGILE.

Your results gives us the BluePrint to map put what you need to work on your weaknesses, make your strengths stronger and work on things we maybe didn’t know about before.
How Do we Measure it all?
Vald’s Hand Held Dynamometer (HHD) allows us to track both Strength & Joint Range of Motion through all planes of motion for all joints and actions.
Hamstring
We use the HHD to record Hamstring strength. Hamstring strength is one of the most vital part of an athletes performance, so why not make sure it’s operating efficiently. we do this by measuring the strength in 3 different angles; 10, 30 and 90 degrees. This gives us a look at each angle and if there are any deficiencies then compare between each side for any asymmetries.
Shoulder
We also use the HHD to asses shoulder strength. It’s no lie that the shoulder is the most vulnerable joint in the body especially when it comes to high intensity sports. Making sure our internal and external strength is up to scratch, and our rotator cuff is strong enough to hold our shoulder in its socket.
Joint Angles
By utilising VALD’s HHD we can also test joint angles. This cal give us a look into any joint restrictions you may have or assess against the other limb when returning from injury.
MyJump2
MyJump2 is an App technology that slows down a pre-recorded jump to measure flight and ground contact time.
It can measure vertical jump height, broad jump distance, drop jump reactive strength index, asymmetries in jumps, repeated jumps force-velocity profiling and many more.
For the purpose of keeping it succinct, we utilise it to measure; Squat Jump, Countermovement Jump & Drop Jump to get Eccentric Utilisation Ration and the Reactive Strength Index.
