Speed & acceleration
How fast the athlete moves, and how quickly they get there — including the first metres that decide so many games.

ASP Sports Science Assessment
R750 · Approximately 60 minutes · Wanderers Club, Illovo. Measure the athlete. Then decide what to develop.
What is it?
A 60-minute profile of the athlete.
An ASP Sports Science Assessment is how we stop guessing. We test speed, agility, power, movement and physical performance, analyse the results and movement video, compare them in context using ASP's historical athlete data, and send an individual report within approximately 48 hours.
Then you meet the Sports Director online and leave with an action plan. It is for young athletes and ambitious parents. It is not a medical diagnosis.
- Who is it for?
- Ages 7 to professional. Parents who can see talent and want facts.
- How long?
- Approximately 60 minutes on the floor, plus a later online consultation.
- What does it cost?
- R750.
- Where?
- Wanderers Sports Club, Illovo, Johannesburg.
- What happens afterwards?
- Report, consultation, plan. Training is a separate conversation — only where it is appropriate.
The process
Test. Analyse. Compare. Report. Meet. Plan.
A 60-minute profile of the athlete on the floor at Wanderers. We measure the qualities that actually show up in games — not a treadmill time.
- Speed and the first metres of acceleration
- Agility and change of direction
- Power, strength and movement quality
- Running mechanics on video
The session is read by sports scientists — numbers joined to how the athlete actually moves. Not a printout from a machine.
- Movement video reviewed frame by frame
- Force, timing and mechanics put together
- The limiter is named, not guessed
A number only means something in context. We compare the athlete using ASP's historical performance data — not a random internet average.
- Appropriate performance context, not a generic percentile
- Twenty years of athlete development behind the comparison
- Left and right, where it is relevant
You receive an individual sports science report — written for the parent and the athlete, specific enough to act on.
- Typically within approximately 48 hours
- Clear findings, not a data dump
- What is strong, and what is worth developing
Then you sit with the Sports Director. Science with a human on the other side of it. Ask the questions you actually have.
- Online consultation, no extra appointment hunt
- Walk through the findings together
- The conversation belongs to you
You leave knowing what to develop next, what can wait, and whether High Performance training is appropriate. Assess. Don't guess.
- Priorities, not a 40-drill wish list
- What the sport coach still owns
- Training is a separate conversation — only where it fits
What we test
Agility & change of direction
Deceleration, cutting and re-acceleration: the difference between looking quick in a straight line and being quick in a game.
Power
The ability to produce force quickly — jumping, striking, sprinting and competing in the air.
Strength
The force the athlete can produce, and whether left and right are telling the same story.
Movement & running mechanics
How the athlete organises their body when they run, land, cut and accelerate. Video is part of the picture.
Physical performance profile
A joined-up view of the athlete, compared in an appropriate context using ASP's historical data — not a random internet average.
What will you actually learn?
- How fast is my child?
- How effectively do they accelerate?
- How well do they change direction?
- How do they move when they run?
- Where are their physical strengths?
- What areas need development?
- How do their results compare in an appropriate performance context?
- What should we work on next?
