Anecdotally, I played football in 10th grade. The school I went to at the time was terrible. We were small, slow, and generally not very skilled.
In the weight room I remember they had some goals for the guys to work toward like a 4.9 40, certain bench & squat numbers that I can’t remember, and a 24” vertical. Like 90% of the team couldn’t hit the 24” vert. And that was a JV team full of 15 year olds. I remember guys were trying to game the system by lackadaisically reaching upward during the initial measurement phase so their numbers would appear greater lol
