The PSBR-F process

Consistent from first drill to final report.

Every stage is designed to make testing more repeatable, the results more understandable, and the next development step easier to identify.

Session pathway

What players can expect.

The exact drill set can vary by testing format and age, but the structure remains organised and comparable.

01

Before testing

Confirm the player details, age group, testing purpose, and relevant context.

02

On the field

Complete the planned drills with consistent instructions, setup, and recording.

03

Interpretation

Review results across the four performance pillars and valid benchmarks.

04

Reporting

Receive a clear PSBR-F snapshot with strengths and development priorities.

A controlled process

Consistency gives the result meaning.

Reliable comparison starts well before a number is recorded. The testing environment, instructions, equipment, and data handling all matter.

Define the purpose

A baseline session, a group snapshot, and a progress re-test answer different questions. The purpose determines the most useful testing format.

Use a standard protocol

Drill layout, demonstrations, rest periods, attempts, and recording rules are controlled so the test is repeatable.

Review the full profile

Results are considered together. One outstanding or difficult drill should not define the player’s entire performance picture.

Explain the context

The report distinguishes test results from wider judgement and notes where age-group benchmark context is valid.

Choose focused priorities

A small number of practical development areas is more useful than an overwhelming list of every possible improvement.

After the session

The result becomes a working baseline.

A PSBR-F report is most valuable when it helps shape training, makes progress easier to discuss, and creates a consistent reference point for re-testing.

A rating is not a verdict. It is a point-in-time measurement from a defined testing session. Development is non-linear, especially for young players.

Read the profile

Look across the overall result, pillar scores, and individual observations.

Set priorities

Select development targets that fit the player’s age, role, and environment.

Apply in training

Translate the report into purposeful practice rather than isolated test rehearsal.

Re-test thoughtfully

Repeat after a useful development period under comparable conditions.
