Our reliability is greater than 0,88 because we want to dobetr. Our mission is to provide you as a coach, and your athletes, with the best, most reliable, valid and easy-to-understand tool as a starting point in your development of mental abilities as an athlete.
Self-awareness is the beginning to growth and development. PACE will help you do just that. This requires a solid model and trustworthy science.
All high quality tools have one thing in common: Experts. Experts that have taken the lead in developing a high-quality tool. The same is valid for PACE. We’ve worked with a group of professional Psychometrician’s and Organisational Psychologists that together with sports-coaches/-psychologists and -consultants have developed PACE (Watch the video: How PACE was created). We’ve built PACE on two well recognised tests from the sports world: Test of Performance Strategies and The Ottowa Mental Skill Assessment Test. This ensures the use of a solid model that works!
As with any test a norm group is required to build a common benchmark or a reference group. The current norm group (updated yearly) consists of 379 respondents, made up of 23% world-class athletes, 29% elite athletes and 35% future top athletes. This ensures for a scientifically balanced group of respondents. Of the 379 respondents, 48.3% were male and 51.7% were female. What does this mean for you when you take the test? That the reference group you are compared against is balanced and fair without bias for certain gender or category of sport.
One of the most important factors of a test is whether or not the test is reliable. In Psychometrics we work with the Cronbach Alpha which takes scales within a test and measures to what extent the different questions produce the same answers. The Cronbach Alpha consists of a value between 0 and 1. The closer to 1 the more reliable the test. PACE is a two-fold test measuring Competition and Training independently. The Cronbach Alpha for PACE Competition is 0.91 and for PACE Training 0.88. Any value above 0.8 is good and any value above 0.9 is excellent. No further explanation needed. The numbers speak for themselves! Ready to try PACE and get a reliable result and data to work with?
