In the world of sports, athletes are constantly striving to reach their full potential. From honing their physical skills to mastering their mental game, there are various factors that come into play when it comes to achieving peak performance. One often overlooked aspect of athlete development is understanding one's behavior and communication style. This is where the use of DISC behavioral profiling comes into play.

DISC behavioral profiling is a tool used to assess an individual's behavioral preferences and tendencies. By understanding where an athlete falls on the DISC spectrum - Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, or Conscientiousness - coaches and athletes can gain valuable insights into how they interact with others, handle pressure, and make decisions.

Ascend Performance is partnered with Athlete Assessemnts, a leader in DSIC profiling designed specifically for the sports world. Athlete Assessments offers the only DISC profiling system independently verified for its validity in supporting athletes, coaches, and sports administrators.

By utilizing DISC behavioral profiling, athletes can gain a better understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement. For example, a high-D athlete may excel in leadership roles but struggle with taking feedback, while a high-S athlete may thrive in a team setting but have difficulty making quick decisions under pressure. One of the key benefits of using DISC behavioral profiling in sports is improved communication and teamwork. When athletes and coaches understand each other's behavioral styles, they can adapt their communication strategies to be more effective and cohesive as a team.

Ascend Performance is fully trained and certified in administering these profiles, meeting Athlete Assessments' high standards for accuracy and impact. We are proud to bring this cutting-edge, research-backed approach to our clients, helping them uncover valuable insights that can drive them to achieve their goals both on and off the field.
