What would the back of your athlete trading card say? That’s what Baseline testing at the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) is for: a way for all athletes to understand their physical tools. Each of Baseline's five assessments are borrowed from the worlds of biomechanics, physical therapy and exercise science. Every professional athlete who visits the NSRL has the option of doing Baseline, and it's also the one test in the NSRL that’s available to every Nike employee, regardless of their athletic background. Kate McDonnell, a former water polo goalie at San Diego State University, now works at Nike as a PLM in Women’s Sportswear. Since playing in college, she’s found a new competitive outlet: the marathon. Services like Baseline help her better understand her athletic profile, revealing her strengths and her areas for improvement, so she can prepare for her races. “It’s one of the coolest things to be a recreational runner and to have access at my job to what is arguably one of the best testing facilities in the world,” she says. “It’s a huge privilege, and the data has genuinely helped me improve and better prep for marathons over the years.” Learn more about Baseline testing at https://lnkd.in/gypSdkAN #Innovation #NSRL #JustDoIt
