The Why We Test course covers the testing-first methodology behind every Onyx program. We cover what we test for, why assessment comes before prescription, and what the data actually tells us about an athlete. It's the philosophical foundation that every other course builds on — and it's the fastest way to understand how we think about coaching. Coaches and athletes both find it useful.
