The Showcase® assessment is a series of performance-based questions that measure the psychological talents most critical to the success of a team athlete. Drawing from more than three decades of scientific research with top performing leaders and teams at work, Showcase® scientists have spent the last five years testing the questions that matter most to the success of national, professional, collegiate, and club athletes. Showcase® offers valid, reliable analytics of athletes’ mental strengths and unlocks feedback on how to turn talent into performance. Global Fortune 50 companies invest billions of dollars annually in the selection and development of talent, and psychological assessments sit at the heart of strategies to measure, engage and develop human capital. Since psychological assessments benefit the formation and development of productive work teams, why have scientific measures of psychological talent been so slow to creep into athletics? Showcase® scientists have proven that up to 40 percent of team performance at work can be explained by psychological talents. Imagine the implications for athletic performance. Through revealing and engaging psychological talents, team athletes can more consistently deliver at peak performance.
As a superior athlete, you understand the importance of physical conditioning, but what about mental conditioning? Sports psychologists and athletic performance experts argue that more than 60 percent of athletic performance is mental, yet athletes spend very little time developing mental capability. The Showcase® questions measure the talents that most contribute to the inner genius of highly successful team athletes. As an emerging Athlete, upon completion of the Assessment, you can:
- Identify your Top Talents to define your mental edge, how they can be developed to help you succeed.
- Receive practical feedback on how to condition your mental muscle for individual and team preparation.
- Discover how to play in your Talent Zone , which is the powerful intersection of your top two talents.
