Testimonials & Stories from the field!
 "I've had almost 95-100% improvement on at least 3-4 tests in FitnessGram every year. We've tested at least twice, sometimes three times, and our students really like the achievement. Especially students who don't come in regularly and don't like PE and they don't like fitness tests." |  "I'm excited about the work we're doing with our influencer school districts and the improvements being made showing what can be done with FitnessGram data." |  The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has acknowledged the importance of assessing student health through FitnessGram® that allows school districts to gather and report students’ physical fitness data to the TEA. |

Here, she briefly explains her take on how to properly train and do the famous "PACER Test." |  Cooper's own Andjelka Pavlovic explains to Paula Dansker, who used to be a gymnast in high school, about the new hand grip test and how it links early strengthening to better bone health and strength later in life. Paula, at 71 was able to pull a whopping 70 lbs! |
