Pre-Season Physical Testing & Benchmarking
This project has been reviewed and verified by the BonaFide Pro team.
Objective: Establish baseline fitness benchmarks for all first-team players at the start of pre-season. Tools: Catapult, Excel, Python. Approach: Designed a 3-day testing battery covering sprint speeds, repeated sprint capacity, and aerobic thresholds. Built a Python script to aggregate Catapult outputs and compare against prior-season baselines. Outputs were shared with the medical and coaching staff as a readiness report. Outcomes: Identified 3 players returning below fitness benchmarks, prompting adjusted pre-season loads. Baseline data used as a reference point throughout the season.
