Taking place predominantly in the Performance Center, the athletes will experience the SpeedLab Score – an assessment-based approach to athletic development. This takes place at the start of the program with the goal of constantly optimizing the development of these young athletes. Hyper-focused training will occur throughout to develop key skills highlighted in the SpeedLab Score results. Feedback and engagement, true to COPA’s overall methodology, will also be throughout, utilizing our key tech partnerships with GlobalSpeed Hawkin Dynamics, and Output Sports.

This year’s new and improved assessments will provide an in-depth analysis of each athlete’s performance in the form of a gamified scorecard. SpeedLab and Diablo VBC will be able to objectively track improvement and make comparisons between peers, as well as provide the coaching staff with an additional layer of info on their athletes. This creates a unique opportunity to help build a strong foundation of movement skills to progress during the program and help create a healthy relationship with strength training these athletes can carry forward throughout their lives.

This partnership between COPA STC’s SpeedLab and Diablo VBC establishes the groundwork for a bright future and helps each athlete reach their full potential.
