Most youth athletes train in off and on without a proven standard and no through-line. We give you an honest read on where your athlete stands, connect you with a qualified facility near you, and help get your athlete on a plan worth following.
No jargon. No hype. No charge to get started.
Here's what almost no one tells parents: strength is the foundation everything else is built on. Speed, power, quickness, explosiveness don't come first. Athletic performance is built from a strong, well-trained body. Skip the foundation and you spend years chasing results that never quite arrive.
The problem isn't effort. Your athlete is working. It's that the training plan has no standard. Drop-off, pick-up, switch gyms, repeat. We exist to fix that: one honest standard to measure against, and a clear path to a qualified coach who can build on it.
We are not a gym. We're the standard that points you to the right one.
You don't need to understand the testing — that's our job. You just need what comes back: a clear picture of where your athlete stands, and a way to watch it grow.
One number, 0–100, built from five domains — Performance, Movement, Body, Lifestyle, and Character. It lives in the XF app and climbs with every re-test.
Exactly how your athlete compares to others their age, level, and sport — in plain language you can actually use, not numbers to decode.
A clear next step toward the right facility, the right coach, and — when you're ready — a real plan built from your athlete's own results.
Four steps. We handle the hard part with the facility. You stay focused on your athlete.
Send a short request with a few details and what you're hoping to learn.
We point you to participating facilities in your community, or match you to the right one and make the introduction.
A qualified facility runs a standardized session and captures what the system needs. They handle the technical side and provide the data.
Results come back as an X-Factor rating and benchmark report in the XF Athlete app, with a clear next step. Re-test whenever you like to keep the rating climbing.
Every report is built around the physical qualities that decide how far an athlete can go — all of them resting on the foundation of strength — and the character that decides whether they get there. You'll never have to read a number you don't understand. We work the technical details out with the facility.
It all sits on one thing: strength.
Build that, and everything above it rises.
And the part no test alone can capture — the X-Factor: mind, body, and character. The habits that turn a good report into a great athlete.
We partner with athletic training facilities in communities across the country. When you request testing, you also help bring this standard to a facility near you — so more athletes in your area can be measured, and trained, the same honest way.
A report is only as honest as the place that runs it, and a plan is only as good as the coach behind it. Before a facility joins our network, we hold them to a few things we won't compromise on.
Staff with real certifications and genuine training experience, so your athlete is guided by people who know what they're doing.
Digital measurement so every session is consistent and the numbers are trustworthy — not hand-timed guesses.
Professionals who can read movement patterns and flag potential injury risk before it becomes a problem.
We're a team of athletic performance coaches, facility owners, and former professional and collegiate athletes, with connections that run deep across universities and professional teams. Our standards have helped youth athletes earn the scholarships and draft opportunities they once only dreamed about.
We're parents too, raising kids who chase the same goals. As a community-centric, faith-driven team, our mission is to inspire more athletes to reach theirs through relentless pursuit.
The report itself never costs you anything with us. Choose how much help you want finding the right facility — and the right plan.
A basic list of facilities near you to reach out and book on your own. No verified status.
See our verified & featured facilities and coaches — and we make the connection for you.
Ongoing progress tracking plus a personalized training plan your athlete can follow or hand to a trainer — so the work finally has a through-line.
Next, you will tell us about the parent or guardian and the athlete or athletes you would like tested.
No. The report is built from the data a participating facility captures and sends us after the session — so a participating facility does need to provide those results. Our free option simply points you to facilities and coaches near you that specialize in training athletes.
They run a standardized session and record data on movement and performance metrics. We turn that into your athlete's benchmark report. Whether you decide to work with them is your choice.
No. We're the standard and the connector. We measure where your athlete stands and link you to qualified local coaches and facilities to do the training — and, with X-Factor, a plan for them to follow.
As often as you like. We recommend that athletes re-test every four weeks to watch progress build into a trajectory. There are leading indicators of injury risk you can reverse if they're caught early enough.
We use it to connect you with a facility and to keep building our network with coaches and athletic trainers in your area. We never sell a guarantee, only an honest standard.
We don't share your information with anyone unless you give us permission to. Our goal is to help you find the right coach without filling out a bunch of forms or sitting through a bunch of sales pitches.
