Evidence-based youth sport-fit consulting
Eric Luttrell, B.S. Sports Psychology · NSCA-CSCS

We match kids to the sport they're actually built for.

Every family we work with gets a full psychological and physical profile, run against a model built on published sport-science research — delivered as a personalized Athletic Roadmap, in the track that fits what your family is looking for.

Why it matters

Sport gives kids more than a scoreboard.

Kids who play sports they genuinely enjoy build confidence, discipline, and friendships that carry far past the field — and a good fit is what keeps them showing up. The right match today is what makes sport a lifelong habit instead of a season they quit.

↑

Confidence & Resilience

Learning to compete, lose, and try again builds a sense of capability that shows up well beyond sport.

↑

Physical Health

Regular activity supports healthy growth, coordination, and lifelong habits around movement and fitness.

↑

Social Connection

Teammates and coaches become some of the most important relationships in a kid's life — on and off the field.

↑

Discipline & Focus

Practice, routine, and working toward a goal translate directly into better habits at school and at home.

↑

Emotional Regulation

Sport gives kids a healthy outlet for stress and big emotions, with a coach and team to help them work through it.

↑

Long-Term Love of the Game

Kids who are matched to the right sport and coach are far more likely to stick with it — which means they actually get to keep all of the above.

The long-term payoff

This isn't just about childhood. It's an investment.

The families who invest in this hardest often have the same two goals in mind: a great college, and a great career. The data backs up why sport is one of the highest-leverage places to start.

86%

Admission Odds

Recruited athletes at Harvard were admitted at roughly an 86% rate — vs. ~33% for legacy applicants, and a general acceptance rate near 3–4%. At many selective colleges, recruited athletes are admitted at 4–8x the general rate.

96%

Women in the C-Suite

An Ernst & Young study found 96% of women in C-suite roles had played sports at some point in their lives.

2/3

Top CEOs

Research on top CEOs found that roughly two-thirds came from a competitive sports background — well above the general population's participation rate.

These are correlational studies, not guarantees — but the pattern is consistent: kids who stick with a sport tend to carry real advantages forward.

What we do

A full roadmap, not a guess.

Families come to us before they've picked a sport — or after they've picked the wrong one. We give them a defensible, research-backed answer, and a real next step.

01

Psychological Assessment

A structured, age-adapted personality and motivation battery, built on published, validated instruments — scored against age- and sex-matched norms rather than generic benchmarks.

02

Physical Aptitude Profile

Direct field measurement combined with standardized youth fitness testing, plus a non-invasive maturity-timing check so early development isn't mistaken for raw talent.

03

Your Roadmap

A full written report — sport-fit ranking, physical and psychological breakdown, and honest next-step guidance — walked through together in a live consultation. Delivered in the Best-Fit or College-Focused track, whichever fits your family.

One assessment. Two ways to use it.

Every roadmap starts with the same psychological and physical assessment. From there, we build the report around what matters most to your family.

The assessment, in action

Real testing, real equipment.

Every physical score comes from an actual drill, run and timed the same way for every athlete — not a self-reported guess. A look at the battery in progress.

How the model works

Rigorous — and honest about its limits.

We don't publish our scoring model, but we're transparent about the standard it's held to.

Measured

Real instruments

Published, peer-reviewed psychological and physical batteries — never informal surveys.

Normalized

Age & sex matched

Every score is centered against same-age peers, not scored on an absolute scale.

Weighted

Sport-specific model

Each sport in our model is weighted differently across dimensions, reflecting the research on what that sport actually rewards.

Bounded

No invented numbers

Where a reliable public figure doesn't exist, we say so — we never fabricate a statistic to fill a gap.

Evidence

Built on published research, not intuition.

Our assessments draw on established, citable instruments in sport and developmental psychology. A sample of the research base:

TEOSQ — Duda, 1989
SCAT — Martens, 1977
Grit Scale — Duckworth et al., 2007
SMS-II — Pelletier et al., 2013

This roadmap is a decision-support tool grounded in validated research. It identifies fit and gives you a clear, honest next step — it is not a guarantee of athletic or college-admissions outcomes.
