Athleticism is more than how fast and strong you are. The following three tests measure how well your body's nervous system interacts with muscles and movement to create balance and posture.
TOTAL BODY
Pressing Squat: Tests a total body movement pattern and mobility.
BALANCE

POSTURE
Push Up Opposite: Tests postural strength and cross body firing patterns.
Vision is one of the most overlooked elements to athletic success despite virtually every athlete requiring hand-eye coordination, quick reactions and the ability to see and swiftly process information. These tests measure the six main movements performed by the eyes - left, right, up, down, near and far.
NEAR/FAR ACCOMODATION
Ability to accommodate and switch focus. The higher the score, the better.
SACCADIC MOVEMENT - HORIZONTAL
Ability to use rapid bilateral eye movements left and right. The higher the score, the better.
SACCADIC MOVEMENT - VERTICAL
Ability to use rapid bilateral eye movements up and down. The higher the score, the better.
Character
Mental ability to compete at one's best, no matter what the situation.
ATTITUDE
Ability to take a positive view on things.
CONCENTRATION
The 'direction' and also the 'intensity' of our focus.
EFFORT
Ability to give 100% to any given activity.

AWARENESS
Awareness of yourself and your surroundings are both important.
IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT
At a true combine, genuineness and honesty are key ingredients of your character - not just pure athleticism.
