How we start
A free assessment creates space to understand your athlete’s starting point and goals.
60min
Free assessment
Your first step
In 60 minutes, establish a baseline and talk with a coach about an individual training plan.
Tell us about your athlete: age and sport. Submitting a request doesn’t reserve a time. Our staff will text you within 24 hours to arrange the assessment. It’s free.
We start with your athlete’s goals, then establish a baseline in 60 minutes with four tests: vertical jump, a 10–40-yard dash, top speed (max velocity) and the 5-10-5 pro-agility drill.
Sit down with a coach to discuss your athlete’s starting point, goals and training plan.
Talk through an individual training plan and the program that fits your athlete’s stage: Multi-Sport Foundation (8–12), Competitive Edge (13–15) or College Prep (16–18). Beginners are welcome.
Athletes are tested routinely at Jarosh Performance, and each athlete’s results are recorded to ensure progress is being made over time. Our 90-day guarantee is on speed and vertical jump.
