HardKore Athletic Performance Testing Brings Zybek Sports to Mass. Maritime Lacrosse

BOURNE, Mass. - Dec. 13, 2019 - PRLog -- HardKore Athletic Performance Testing recently brought the nationally recognized Zybek Sports, the Official Timing System of the NFL and the USA Olympic Teams, to the Massachusetts Maritime Lacrosse Team.

The athletes completed the Standardized Athletic Test (SAT) to measure speed and performance and pinpoint areas for improvement to better target their training. The SAT is a combination of athletic performance evaluations comprised of the 40 yard dash, the 5-10-5, L Drill, Broad Jump, Vertical Jump PLUS Body Measurements of Reach, Wing Span, Hand Size, Height and Weight. The Power Pushup is also measured on the Force Plate.

HardKore is using the most accurate laser timing system in the world and through Zybek's National Database of well over 100,000 can compare athletes by individual sports, age, positions and High School, College and Professional levels. The results can be used for personal benchmarking, team comparison, recruiting, and goal setting.

"It's definitely a great tool to show the players where they are athletically," said Mass. Maritime Men's Lacrosse Coach Rick Bagby. "The agility and the approaching and returning drills like the 5-10-5 and the 3-cone test simulate the movement on a lacrosse field. And hopefully when we re-test in the spring, it'll show that our focused training is working and we're making them better lacrosse players and better athletes.

"We were pleased to have the opportunity to work with the lacrosse athletes at Mass. Maritime," said Kevin Orcutt, President and CEO of HardKore Testing. "The athletes are responding well to the SAT and are finding real value in the results. We look forward to offering this valuable new training technology across New England."
