Self-reported metrics
This is development guidance, not a guarantee of performance, recruitment, roster status, or medical fitness.
Which metrics and role signals matter?
AthleteOS starts by translating the parent question into a first evaluation point.
What changed
The read tied jump and approach work to the actual contact window instead of treating vertical jump as the whole answer.
Week-one direction
Approach rhythm reps with a stable contact point before adding transition movement.
Next measurements
approach jump, vertical jump, coach note on contact quality
Copy this when a parent asks a similar question.
Use the case file as proof, then ask for the athlete's sport, age, position, and biggest concern.
Volleyball parent example: Volleyball outside: jump numbers matter, but the first evaluation point may be the contact window. This is the kind of first-priority read AthleteOS is built for: not a generic drill list, but a clearer development order. https://athleteos-site.vercel.app/case-files/volleyball-15-outside-contact-window
