Why would you want to test or profile your athletes? How do you choose the right tests, interpret the results, and use them to enhance performance? In this interview, I speak with Dr. Jonathon Weakley, a lecturer at the Australian Catholic University, about best practices in athlete profiling, testing, and monitoring.

Dr. Weakley’s research focuses on strength and power development, as well as youth and team sports.

Enjoy!
