A Customized Approach
Assessment at the Walker Center includes hands on you-do-it and we observe programs. Our expert scientists observe side by side with the coach as athletes perform their specific event. When coaches and athletes leave, they take with them documented comprehensive results in addition to a customized training profile.
Performance Analysis
Power and strength are important for performance. However, small adjustments in the execution of a skill can improve performance. Two or three dimensional video motion analysis of a skill provides information on the position, velocity, and acceleration of the body parts involved in the skill. The combined analysis of an expert coach and biomechanist provides a powerful form of assessment which can lead to improved performance.
