The JMP Standard

The JMP Standard

The JMP Standard is the written method behind every programme: the assessment battery, the prescription logic and the rules for youth development. It is published so clients, coaches and clinicians can hold the practice to it.

The JMP Standard. One method across every athlete: three modules, 01 assessment and client record, 02 training volume prescription, 03 youth development.

Module 01

Assessment and the client record

Measured  ·  recorded  ·  reviewed across years

Same fields, same units, same intervals, whether someone is nine or eighty-five. Consistent fields allow every result to be compared across years.

What the record holds

  • AssessmentThe same test battery, every time
  • GrowthStature, mass, and maturity estimate at each reassessment
  • PrescriptionWritten, completed, and changed
  • HistoryInjury, surgical, and medical, as disclosed
  • ReferralsFound, sent, and closed

How it is kept

  • ContinuousKept across years
  • UniformSame fields and units for everyone
  • PortableFull copy available at any time
  • ConsentedWritten consent before measurement, withdrawable
  • PrivateNot shared with clubs or selection panels

Module 02

Training volume prescription

Macro to micro planning  ·  in-season to off-season

Periodisation divides the training year into phases, each with its own objective. The macrocycle is the year. Within it, mesocycles of several weeks group training around a single aim. Microcycles are the individual weeks inside those.

Prescription works downward. The competition calendar sets the phases, the phase sets the weekly objective, and the objective sets the session.

Phase

  • Priority
  • Protected
  • Youth note

Phase boundaries shown are the outdoor soccer year in Alberta and are adjusted per athlete against their own calendar.

The JMP Standard applies these frameworks to each athlete, session by session.

Module 03

Youth development

Maturity estimation  ·  volume ceilings  ·  reassessment

The first module published in full. It covers how maturity is estimated without imaging, what each growth stage permits, when reassessment is triggered, what findings stop a session and involve a clinician, and how consent and records are handled.

It states its own limitations alongside its methods, including that the maturity estimates carry error and that the standard has not been validated prospectively.

How JMP works with you

Written rules for every client

Agreements  ·  conflicts  ·  safeguarding  ·  records

The modules govern the training. These rules govern the relationship: what is signed before work begins, how a conflict of interest is handled when JMP works with both an athlete and a club, and who owns the record.

How JMP works with you. Written rules for every client: agreements, conflicts, safeguarding and records.
01, in writing. A signed agreement comes first. No work begins before the client signs a written agreement.
02, two years at most. Agreements with athletes run two years at most. Renewal happens only by a new signed agreement.
03, conflicts. Every conflict disclosed in writing. Disclosure comes before JMP acts, and written consent is required from each party.
04, the releasing club. JMP never acts for the club an athlete is leaving. This applies whenever JMP also works for the athlete or the joining club.
05, no inducements. No gifts or benefits to win a client. JMP is paid only the fees written in the agreement.
06, safeguarding. A guardian is present at every session with a minor athlete.
JMP Sports. The record belongs to the client. A full copy at any time.
What every JMP agreement states: who the parties are, how long it runs, the services by type, each fee and who pays it, any conflict disclosed at signing, and how to get a copy of your record.
What an agreement states
Who JMP may act for in one decision. JMP may act for the athlete and the joining club, with prior written consent from both. JMP never acts for the releasing club.
The conflict rule
One record, owned by the athlete. It holds assessments, training, BioBand data, health data, agreements and communication. Take a full copy at any time; JMP keeps a copy for its records.
