13. Developing an Athletic Profile  Select tests that measure the parameters most characteristic of the sport in question.  Choose valid and reliable tests to measure parameters, and arrange the testing battery to promote test reliability.  Administer the battery to as many athletes as possible.  Calculate percentile ranks to present a visual profile.  Evaluate the athlete based on percentile rank within the group and against the individual’s best performances over previous years.
