Abstract:
1. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform an athleticism rating method for evaluating the athleticism of an athlete in a particular sport, said method comprising: receiving an agility result for the athlete, the agility result based on the performance of an athlete in an agility performance drill rationally related to a first desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport; receiving a strength result for the athlete, the strength result based on the performance of the athlete in a strength performance drill rationally related to a second desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport; receiving a speed result for the athlete, the speed result based on the performance of the athlete in a speed performance drill rationally related to a third desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport; and within the computing system, applying the agility result, the strength result, and the speed result to a normalizing equation adapted for the particular sport to calculate, with the computing system, a single athleticism score representing a rating that is specific to the particular sport for the athlete.
