For Coaches: Developing Athletes With Confidence
Coaches shape athletes far beyond wins and losses. The National Performance Institute (NPI) and Zybek Sports give coaches objective, trusted tools to evaluate athletes, guide development, and communicate progress with clarity—from youth programs to college-ready competitors.
NPI partnered with Zybek Sports—recognized for elite athletic testing with organizations like the NFL and MLB—to adapt professional-grade testing into a clear, age-appropriate system coaches can use anywhere.
CLARITY YOU CAN COACH FROM
The SAT®6 Presidential Score is built on six foundational exercise drills that measure speed, power, agility, and strength. These drills can be conducted anywhere, using only a stopwatch and measuring tape—no specialized facilities required.
That means:
-
Consistent standards across teams and locations
-
Fair comparisons for every athlete
-
Repeatable results you can trust
SAT®6 gives coaches a single, shared language to evaluate where an athlete stands today and how they’re progressing over time.
DEVELOPMENT, NOT GUESSWORK
Athletes improve in cycles. SAT®6 allows coaches to track progress across training phases and seasons—turning testing into a planning tool, not a one-time event.
Coaches can:
-
Identify strengths and development gaps early
-
Align training emphasis with measurable needs
-
Avoid overtraining or chasing the wrong benchmarks
-
Show athletes clear, objective progress
Each score is a checkpoint, helping you coach with intention instead of opinion.
PREPARING ATHLETES FOR THE NEXT LEVEL
For high school and college-bound athletes, credibility matters. SAT®6 provides numbers coaches recognize and can confidently stand behind.
SAT®6 helps coaches:
-
Determine when athletes are college-ready
-
Support recruiting conversations with verified metrics
-
Align film, performance data, and development goals
-
Guide athletes on when to develop more and when to engage programs
