For Parents: Guiding Your Athlete’s Development
Raising an athlete is about more than chasing rankings or highlights—it’s about building a strong, confident foundation and making smart decisions at every stage. The National Performance Institute (NPI) and Zybek Sports give parents clear, objective tools to support their child’s development—from youth sports through college recruitment.
NPI partnered with Zybek Sports—known for developing and administering elite athletic testing for organizations like the NFL and MLB—to create a clear, age-appropriate testing system for young athletes. Using the same proven testing structure trusted at elite combines, families get a fair, repeatable way to measure performance and track development over time.
CLARITY AT EVERY STAGE
The SAT®6 Presidential Score was intentionally designed around six foundational exercise drills that measure speed, power, agility, and strength. These drills can be performed anywhere, using only a standard stopwatch and measuring tape—no specialized facilities or expensive equipment required.
That design choice matters. It means athletes everywhere—regardless of location, budget, or access—can be evaluated the same way, on the same standards.
Built on the same performance testing structure used by professional sports leagues, SAT®6 gives parents a clear, age-appropriate baseline grounded in verified data. Instead of guessing if your child is “on track,” you can see exactly where they stand among peers—and how that changes over time.
This replaces pressure with understanding:
-
What are my child’s strengths right now?
-
What should we focus on next?
-
Are they progressing in a healthy, measurable way?
DEVELOPMENT, NOT RUSH
Athletes grow in cycles, not leaps. SAT®6 supports long-term development by letting families track progress across seasons and training phases.
Parents can:
-
Monitor improvement from cycle to cycle
-
Align training with growth and maturation
-
Avoid overtraining or chasing the wrong benchmarks
Each score is a checkpoint—not a label—helping families make informed decisions without rushing the process.
PREPARING FOR THE COLLEGE PATH
For college-bound athletes, data matters. Coaches want numbers they recognize and trust.
SAT®6 helps parents and athletes:
-
Understand when an athlete is college-ready
-
Identify gaps that need attention before outreach begins
-
Present credible, Zybek-verified metrics alongside film and academics
-
Time recruiting efforts strategically—without guessing
The result is confidence: knowing when to keep developing and when to engage programs.
