The Physical Base

Nine years of continuous strength & conditioning testing at PROformance Athlete Development, all independently measured. Figures shown are Joe's best verified results; most recent full assessment 13 August 2026.

Beyond the pivot
Athlete first

Joe's futsal sits on a serious senior-football base — central midfield and centre-back at Steps 4 and 5 of the English non-league pyramid, on top of nine years of independent strength & conditioning. That athletic platform is exactly what the modern pivot is built on: the frame to hold play up, the power to win duels, and the engine to press and recover.

He is also genuinely quick — verified elite times across 5m, 10m and 30m, topping out at 34 km/h. Rare pace on a 6'2", 85kg frame, and exactly what turns a hold-up into a run in behind the last line.

Every verified metric translated to a specific demand of the pivot role on a 40m court — grouped by speed, jumping and power.

Speed
0.91s
5m sprint
The first step out of a press. Elite over 5m turns a hold-up moment into a break — the difference between the pivot being bounced off the ball and beating the defender to the second phase.
34 km/h
Top speed
Closing the 1v1 with the GK. When the pivot breaks in behind the last line, top-end pace decides whether the GK reaches the ball first. Verified across PROformance, STATSports GPS in match, and PlayerMaker boot data.
Jumping
60.1cm
Countermovement Jump
Aerial reach in the attacking third. Winning a keeper's long throw or a clearance dropping into the final part of the court. Elite vertical means Joe gets to the ball first when it hangs in the air ahead of a defender.
305cm
Broad Jump
Lateral power in hold-up. The core power that lets the pivot shrug a defender off a shoulder in a duel with back to goal — the physical currency of retaining possession under pressure.
Power
3.7× BW
Mid-Thigh Pull
Raw strength behind the frame. A mid-thigh pull at 3.7× bodyweight is the engine under the hold-up play — the force that holds a defender off and wins the physical exchange.
6'2" · 85kg
Frame
Physical presence on a small court. A pivot with size and mass sets the reference point the whole team plays through. Defenders cannot easily bump him off the ball.
