Question 4

What is the The SAT® for Athletes (Standardized Athletic Testing)

Accepted Answer

Gova Sports introduces the SAT® - a comprehensive evaluation tool designed for athletes aiming for distinction. The Standardized Athletic Testing is your gateway to showcasing talents and getting noticed by Division 1 coaches.
At Gova Sports, we employ Zybek Equipment – the same trusted technology used at the NFL Combine and the Olympics. Trusted by not only the NFL, but the best Colleges and Universities across the nation too. 
Consistency, Consistency, Consistency!
It is well understood that speed schools and training facilities share a common interest in assisting their athletes to reach the next level.  Although this agenda may or may not be a given, if training facilities choose to manipulate standard testing regulations and procedures, they will be staking their reputation of being a credible training facility.  Inaccurate testing will ultimately damage the athlete’s identify and future career; to prevent this, Zybek Sports carefully chooses partners like Gova Sports that will maintain a high level of credibility and integrity.
