Athleticism rating and performance measuring system
First Claim
1. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform an athleticism rating method for evaluating the athleticism of an athlete in a particular sport, said method comprising:
- receiving an agility result for the athlete, the agility result based on the performance of an athlete in an agility performance drill rationally related to a first desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport;
receiving a strength result for the athlete, the strength result based on the performance of the athlete in a strength performance drill rationally related to a second desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport;
receiving a speed result for the athlete, the speed result based on the performance of the athlete in a speed performance drill rationally related to a third desired athletic performance characteristic in the particular sport; and
within the computing system, applying the agility result, the strength result, and the speed result to a normalizing equation adapted for the particular sport to calculate, with the computing system, a single athleticism score representing a rating that is specific to the particular sport for the athlete.

Abstract
A universal athleticism rating system and related athletic performance measuring systems for accurately detecting and recording athletic performance are disclosed. The athleticism rating system evaluates individual athletes against a common, standardized, set of athletic performance tests. Each athlete performs the athletic tests and his or her scores in the individual tests are entered into a standardized calculation to produce a single athletic performance score. The related performance measuring system is preferably a timing system that ensures quick, easy, and accurate collection of athletic event timing related data without the need for the athlete to wear any special detection devices or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the performance measuring system integrates with the rating system to provide seamless athletic data collection and rating of athletes.

13. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform an athleticism rating method for evaluating the athleticism of an athlete in a first sport from a plurality of sports, said method comprising:
-
receiving an agility result for the athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in an agility performance drill, the agility performance drill being rationally related to a desired athletic performance characteristic in the first sport; receiving a strength result for the athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in a strength performance drill, the strength performance drill being rationally related to a desired athletic performance characteristic in the first sport; receiving a speed result for the athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in a speed performance drill, the speed performance drill being rationally related to a desired athletic performance characteristic in the first sport; and within the computing system, applying the agility result, the strength result, and the speed result to a normalizing equation adapted for the first sport to determine the single athleticism score for the athlete in the first sport. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing system having a processor and memory, cause the computing system to perform an athleticism rating method for evaluating the athleticism of an athlete in football, said method comprising:
-
receiving; 1) an agility result for an athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in an agility performance drill rationally related to football, 2) a strength result for an athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in a strength performance drill rationally related to football, and 3) a speed result for an athlete based on the athlete'"'"'s performance in a speed drill rationally related to football; and applying a normalizing equation adapted for football, wherein the normalizing equation uses the agility result, the strength result, and the speed result to calculate a single football athleticism score representing a football-specific athleticism rating. - View Dependent Claims (20)
