From Recovery Back to Performance

Included during a free tour and consultation

The assessment process begins before an athlete becomes a member.

Our KTLYST coaching staff observes the athlete performing foundational movements without coaching. We then introduce cues and reassess how the athlete responds.

This allows us to evaluate more than the movement itself. We also begin learning about the athlete’s:

• Body awareness
• Coordination and movement control
• Ability to understand and apply coaching
• Training experience
• Confidence in a coached environment
• Immediate areas of need

This initial screen helps us determine the most appropriate starting point, including whether the athlete is prepared for small-group training or would benefit from one-on-one coaching first.

Included with Athlete Lab membership

KTLYST performance coaches conduct structured testing using VALD technology and assessments of primary movement patterns. These results help establish and update baselines for qualities such as:

• Force production
• Force absorption and landing strategy
• Jump and reactive qualities
• Joint-specific strength
• Left-to-right asymmetries
• Movement efficiency and control
• Sport-relevant power and speed qualities

Athletes are retested approximately every 12 weeks (3 Phases) during training. Coaches interpret the results alongside training history, sport demands, current workload and the athlete’s competitive calendar.

The numbers are never viewed in isolation. They help determine the direction of programming, where the athlete is within the training cycle and when specific qualities should be developed so the athlete can peak when it matters.

The initial profile is required for all new Athlete Lab Members and is included in the one-time registration fee

The PS+R Biometric Performance Profile is the most comprehensive level of assessment within the system. It is completed by Performance Science + Rehab and combines professional expertise, sports-science technology and individualized interpretation.

The first profile establishes a detailed starting point and provides actionable recommendations that can influence:

• Athlete Lab programming
• Individual warmups and cooldowns
• At-home movement or strength work
• Recovery strategies
• Areas requiring continued monitoring
• Performance-development priorities

If another Level 3 profile is needed later because of an injury, rehabilitation process, return-to-play protocol or another specific concern, it can be completed directly through PS+R for $175.

 KTLYST coaches turn assessment findings into daily action. 

They coach the athlete, manage progressions, adjust training around the competitive calendar and conduct scheduled retesting to determine whether the program is producing the intended adaptations.

The strength of the system is not any single assessment or professional. It is the communication and continuity between everyone involved.

Our technology is selected and used when it can answer a meaningful question.

ForceDecks help evaluate how athletes produce and absorb force during jumping, landing and other performance tasks. They can provide information about jump strategy, braking ability, reactive qualities, stabilization and left-to-right differences. We can view this as a Global view of how the body is performing. 

ForceFrame allows our team to assess joint-specific strength and compare force production between sides of the body. This can support performance profiling, targeted strength development, rehabilitation and return-to-play decision-making. ForceFrame allows for added specificity when appropriete to zoom in on performance qualities in specific joints and muscle groups.

OVR Velocity measures bar speed, range of motion and power during strength exercises. When appropriate, it helps coaches prescribe training based on what an athlete can express that day and monitor changes in strength and power over time.

Jump mats and force-based testing provide objective measures of explosive ability, reactive strength and lower-body performance.

Rapsodo provides advanced hitting and pitching information for baseball athletes. It helps connect physical development with measurable ball-flight, pitching and hitting outcomes.

Blast Motion sensors provide swing data that can help coaches evaluate movement patterns, bat speed and swing performance.

These tools do not replace coaching. They help our staff ask better questions, identify meaningful trends and make more informed decisions.

The technology provides information. Our team determines what it means.
