Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after a combine?
After the combine we will take all the numbers and analyse them. Once completed, we create a report specific to each athlete and send it out to them. From there, athletes can see what they need to work on and get in contact with coaches to help them with it if they so choose.
How accurate are the results?
Accuracy is essential, which is why all tests are scientifically backed, with many professional leagues using the same or similar tests. We use gold-standard equipment, including brands trusted at the Olympic level.
How often should I get tested?
There are many times where testing is beneficial. Testing at least once a year is essential, while testing at times during off-season, pre-season and start of season can be highly beneficial.
Do you offer training programs based on the results?
No. We believe that focusing on too many aspects will only lead to diminished results for the athlete. There are many highly capable trainers out there whose speciality is programming who we can refer you to. We’ll stick to the testing.
How much does it cost?
Where some companies can charge up to $300 per testing session, Exact Evolution charges $50 per athlete, per combine. This includes all reporting and allows us to give opportunity of testing to more young players.
Do you do individual testing?
No. The fewer the people means the higher we have to charge to cover costs. A core aim of ours is to make our service available to as many kids as possible which is why we choose to run group combines rather than 1 on 1 testing.
What if I don’t perform well?
Finding out what areas you don’t perform well in is the whole purpose of these combines. The first step to improving is finding out what you’re not great at, so don’t worry about your performance, just do your best!
Why can’t I just go straight to a S&C coach?
You can! Our reports and combines are there to aid S&C coaches as much as possible. It’s worth noting that having a formal report with all the numbers can be useful in situations such as meeting scouts and trying for teams.
