A sports medicine testing day built to find what's actually holding your athlete back, before it becomes an injury, and tell you exactly what to do about it.
A vertical jump number doesn't tell you why a kid is losing bat speed. A 40-yard time doesn't tell you which hip is about to become a shoulder problem.
Speed and strength numbers look impressive on a scoreboard. They don't explain why an athlete gets hurt.
The shoulder that gives out in June was often telling on itself in February, if anyone had checked.
A stopwatch time tells a family how fast. It doesn't tell them what to actually do next.
Every combine athlete is screened by the same person who treats the injuries, not a rotating aide.
Not delegated to an aide, not a triple-booked clinic. The person reading your athlete's mobility is the person licensed to treat it.
Think of strength and mobility as deposits, and every game or practice as a withdrawal. We test the deposits, not just the box score.
Every athlete gets individual joint mobility and movement screening, layered on top of the performance combine, not instead of it.
Every one of them is a Movement Economics deposit or withdrawal.
Shoulder external/internal rotation, stride-hip and stance-hip mobility, the screen almost no other program runs.
The lower-body power that shows up directly in bat speed, throwing velocity, and change of direction.
Change of direction speed, and a window into how efficiently force moves through the hips and ankles.
Upper body power, core stability, and the pulling capacity that protects a shoulder through a heavy season.
A branded report, graded against clinical benchmarks, written in plain English, with a specific next step, not a wall of numbers.
Every test graded Excellent, Developing, or Priority
One clear Priority Focus, not a wall of numbers
A CTA on every relevant line, the data decides, not a sales script
Returning athletes see real progress since last test
Your athletic department stays in control of who's on the floor and when.
Any team, any club, any student athlete your program wants included.
Rotating stations, a dedicated SPARK clinician on the table, your own volunteers helping run it.
Branded, personalized, delivered fast, the kind of thing that actually gets forwarded to grandma.
Not your staff. Every next step runs through SPARK, not your front office.
