Abstract

Various aspects of one or more methods, apparatuses and data processor program products capable of enabling management of data associated with an athleticism development program are disclosed herein. These various aspects include maintaining a database including subscriber performance data for a plurality of athleticism development program subscribers and facilitating preparation of a subscriber performance report for a specified one of the plurality of athleticism development program subscribers. The subscriber performance data is capable of enabling an attained standardized athleticism level to be determined for each one of the athleticism development program subscribers. The implementation of standardized athleticism levels is advantageous as it supports a measurable plan of progress for motivating a subscriber and trainer to meet their individual and mutual goals.

correlating, with the processor, the athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score and the training set-performance-evaluation-component-achieved score to an attained standardized athleticism level, wherein a score of at least the athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score and a score of at least the training set-performance-evaluation-component-achieved score is associated with the attained standardization athleticism level; and

facilitating, with the processor, preparation of a subscriber performance report for a specified one of the plurality of athleticism development program subscribers by providing the attained standardized athleticism level for a comparison, wherein the subscriber performance report includes the attained standardized athleticism level.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the subscriber-specific athleticism result is an achieved time.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein facilitating preparation of the subscriber performance report is initiated in response to receiving a request for preparing the subscriber-performance report.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of determining a ranking of a present athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score relative to a population of the plurality of athleticism-development-program subscribers.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of preparing a training-set performance-evaluation-component comparison between a present training-set-performance evaluation and a reference training-set-performance evaluation.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein attained standardized athleticism level is designated by a number.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein attained standardized athleticism level number is an integer between two and seven.

8. 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 a method for managing athleticism development program data, comprising:

receiving subscriber-performance data for a plurality of athleticism-development program subscribers, wherein the subscriber-performance data for each of the plurality of athleticism-development-program subscribers comprises (1) a plurality of athleticism performance-evaluation-quantitative results (“

athleticism results”

) and (2) a plurality of training-set-performance-evaluation-component-quantitative results (“

training-set results”

) corresponding to a plurality of training-set-performance-evaluation components;

storing the subscriber-performance data in a database;

determining an athleticism-performance-evaluation achieved score based on a subscriber-specific athleticism result of the plurality of athleticism results for each of the plurality of athleticism-development-program subscribers, wherein determining the athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score comprises converting each of the subscriber-specific athleticism results to a corresponding athleticism-performance-evaluation achieved score;

determining a training-set-performance evaluation-component-achieved score based on a corresponding subscriber-specific training-set result from the plurality of training set results for each of the plurality of athleticism-development-program subscribers, wherein determining the training-set performance-evaluation-component-achieved score comprises converting each of the subscriber-specific training-set results to a corresponding training-set-performance evaluation-component-achieved score;

correlating the athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score and the training set-performance-evaluation-component-achieved score to an attained standardized athleticism level, wherein a score of at least the athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score and a score of at least the training set-performance-evaluation-component-achieved score is associated with the attained standardization athleticism level; and

facilitating preparation of a subscriber performance report for a specified one of the plurality of athleticism development program subscribers by providing the attained standardized athleticism level for a comparison, wherein the subscriber performance report includes the attained standardized athleticism level.

9. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 8, wherein the subscriber-specific athleticism result is an achieved time.

10. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 8, wherein facilitating preparation of the subscriber performance report is initiated in response to receiving a request for preparing the subscriber-performance report.

11. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 8, wherein the method further comprising a step of determining a ranking of a present athleticism-performance-evaluation-achieved score relative to a population of the plurality of athleticism-development-program subscribers.

12. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 8, wherein the method further comprising a step of preparing a training-set performance-evaluation-component comparison between a present training-set-performance evaluation and a reference training-set-performance evaluation.

13. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 8, wherein attained standardized athleticism level is designated by a number.

14. The non-transitory computer storage media of claim 13, wherein attained standardized athleticism level number is an integer between two and seven.
