Abstract

Aspects of this disclosure relate to systems and methods for rating the performance of an athlete, particularly a golf athlete. The systems and method may include instructing the user to perform multiple golf-relevant athleticism drills or tests such as a stepping exercise, a broad jump, a wood-chop bounce, a countermovement lateral hop and / or a side-sling object launch. One or more drills or tests may be performed in a hip-neutral manner so as to simulate a golfer's stance. The performance data collected from each of these tests may be input into a processing system to generate an athleticism rank and score for each test as well as an overall, multi-factorial rating of golf athleticism.
