• Please determine which pre-tests you would have this athlete perform before developing this program for him/her.

When selecting these tests/Assessments, make sure that you are assessing the information you will need to be able to appropriately design a training program for them.

Inasmuch, please be sure to state why you selected each test for this athlete and support this rationale with appropriate peer-reviewed research.
