Revealing Hidden Potential Through Repeated Effort.

Several of the performance tests, including sprints, agility, jump, and power assessments were repeated to ensure accuracy and reliability. The best score from multiple trials was recorded, not only to enhance data integrity, but to observe how athletes like Kwakanya respond when prompted to reach their true maximum.

In Kwakanya’s case, his peak performances frequently came in later trials, rather than the first. This reveals an important insight: athletes don’t always access their full capacity immediately. Variables such as mental activation, physical readiness, and confidence all influence when and how consistently top-end outputs are expressed.

This matters because it reminds us that a single test or even a single play, doesn’t fully define an athlete’s capability. What may appear as a “fluke” score could actually be a glimpse of genuine potential, waiting to be refined through structure and exposure.

The repeated testing format mirrors real-game demands, where athletes must switch on explosively multiple times, often under changing conditions. In this way, testing becomes more than just a measurement tool, it becomes a window into the athlete’s ceiling, not just their baseline.

For Kwakanya and those supporting his journey, this insight is essential: Unlocking potential is not the same as consistently using it. With targeted development and repeated high-performance exposure, those moments of brilliance can evolve into a reliable standard.
