The starting point
The TAPES diagnostic.
A structured assessment across all five pillars, over two sessions at Lee Valley, ending in a written report, a fEuzionScore™ and a retest date.
What is included
In the order it happens, from before you travel to the plan you leave with.
- Onboarding and profile completion before you travel
- A readiness and health check on the day, before any test is run
- A full, age-appropriate warm-up, supervised
- Day one: technical and athletic testing with video capture
- Day two: psychological, educational and social assessment, plus repeat measures
- A written report against all five pillars, with the evidence behind each score
- A feedback conversation that walks you through the report from strengths first
- A development plan with responsibilities, review measures and a retest date
How the two days run
Onboarding, before you travel
You complete a profile first: date of birth, club or school, position, preferred foot, height and weight, medical history and current injury status, emergency contacts, and your consent choices. We ask for parent or guardian heights where you have them, purely for growth context. Nothing is assessed until this is complete.
Day one: technical and athletic
Identity and consent are confirmed, then a readiness check on injury, soreness, illness, sleep and recent training. A full age-appropriate warm-up. Then speed, agility, power and endurance testing, football technical tasks, and video capture. Every test is demonstrated before it is performed, and your child can stop at any point.
Day two: psychological, educational, social and repeats
Questionnaires and guided tasks, a learning-and-retention task, behavioural observation across the session, and repeats of selected physical measures so we can see consistency rather than a single result. The assessor prepares your feedback from this.
The feedback conversation
We go through the report with you: strengths first with the evidence behind them, then the overall score, then each of the five pillars, then the two or three highest-value development priorities and the programme we recommend. We agree what you, your child and the coach are each responsible for, and we put a retest date in the diary before you leave.
