Question 1

I am looking for skill development training, does Scholar Athletics still provide that ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do offer skill development training. However, we highly recommend that each athlete initially completes a Scholar Report through a coaching plan. This report allows us to tailor the training more precisely by understanding the best ways to motivate and assist your child or athlete, and it provides valuable data for future training decisions. While we strongly advise completing a Scholar Report, we understand some may only want the training. We offer skill development sessions in Basketball and Volleyball. Without a Scholar Report, sessions are $100 per hour. With a Scholar Report, one-on-one sessions are $75 per hour. Please contact us to schedule a session.

Question 2

Tell me more about the assessment that is administered to athletes.

Accepted Answer

The assessment we administer to athletes is called the "Total Athlete Assessment".  It has been uniquely designed for each grade level elementary - high school.  It is a research-backed assessment created and designed in collaboration with a world-class phycologist to evaluate young athletes across key performance factors.  We have discovered that these factors are predictive of high performance in the many athletes.   The results provide valuable insights to help athletes enhance their skills and performance and so much more.  With those results, we deliver your Scholar Report providing you with useful data to make decisions.

It includes specialized questions and usually takes just 15 to 30 minutes to complete—perfect for the attention span of both young athletes and, let's be honest, the rest of us too! This quick and easy format ensures athletes can provide thoughtful responses without cutting too much into their other activities. 🚴‍♂️🎮
