The Physical Base

Nine years of continuous strength & conditioning testing at PROformance Athlete Development, all independently measured. Figures shown are Joe's best verified results, with where and when each was recorded.

Built for the middle of the park
Athlete first

Joe plays box-to-box in senior men's football, on top of nine years of independent strength & conditioning with PROformance. That athletic platform is what the modern central midfielder is built on: the engine to press and recover, the power to win duels, and the frame to hold his own in the middle of the park.

He is also genuinely quick — verified elite times over 5m, 10m and 30m, topping out at 34 km/h. Rare pace on a 6'2", 89.9kg frame, and it's what lets him recover ground after a turnover and still arrive in the box at the other end.

Each verified number translated into a demand of the central midfield role in 11-a-side football — and linked to the parts of The Complete 8 where you can see it.

Speed
0.91s
5m sprint
Sharpness off the mark. Most of a central midfielder’s sprints are short ones — spinning away from his man after receiving on the half-turn, getting back goal-side when the ball turns over, or breaking away with it. Elite over 5m is that sharpness.
In his gameReceiving & Turning →Recovery & Heading →Ball Carrying →Tackling & Cover →
34 km/h
Top speed
Recovery runs — and running with the ball. Top-end pace decides whether a box-to-box midfielder gets back goal-side after a turnover, and whether he gets away when he breaks forward with the ball. Verified across PROformance testing, STATSports GPS in match and PlayerMaker boot data.
In his gameRecovery & Heading →Ball Carrying →Tackling & Cover →
Jumping
62.5cm
Abalakov jump
Winning the ball in the air. The Abalakov is a jump with an arm swing — the closest test to rising for a header. Aerial duels in midfield, defending set pieces and contesting the second ball: elite vertical power means he gets to the ball first when it hangs.
In his gameRecovery & Heading →
305cm
Broad jump
Take-off power. Three metres from a standing start is explosive power off two feet — the spring behind attacking a header, and the drive in his first strides when he has to get back or when he breaks away with the ball.
In his gameRecovery & Heading →Ball Carrying →
Power
3.7× BW
Mid-thigh pull
Raw power. Peak force at 3.7 times bodyweight is what goes into a tackle, into a challenge in the air, and into holding a man off while he carries.
In his gameTackling & Cover →Recovery & Heading →Ball Carrying →
2.95 m/s
Drop jump RSI
Springiness. The drop jump is a step off a box, then straight back up as high and as fast as possible. RSI measures how high he gets against how little time his feet spend on the ground — the spring behind sharp first steps and quick turns.
In his gameReceiving & Turning →Recovery & Heading →
6'2" · 89.9kg
Frame
Hard to get the ball off. Size and mass that make him difficult to shift when he carries, receives or turns — and a genuine presence in the air and in the tackle.
In his gameBall Carrying →Receiving & Turning →Recovery & Heading →Tackling & Cover →
Core
2:35
Plank · 2:16 each side
Strength through the middle. Trunk strength is the platform the power comes from — holding his ground in the tackle, staying up in contact when he carries, and controlling his body in the air.

What PROformance Say

Joe continues to impress the team every testing block, his ability to produce power is shown in his improvement in his vertical jumps, hitting a huge 62.5cm on his Abalakov test. As well as improving his broadjump to 305cm, which is scary good!

Joe continues to impress us over and over again. Joe has finally reached the 60cm mark for his jumps, which was a target we set a while back. Joe continues to add mass and develop into his body, which will benefit him massively now he is playing regular mens football.

This block has been Joe's best one yet. We have seen huge upwards shift in power and speed even with his added mass of 3kg! Joe currently has the 5 & 10m speed records on the new speed gates.

I have never met anyone as determined as Joe. His resilience through growth challenges was remarkable. Today he's a robust, intelligent athlete who's a pleasure to coach.
