General Managers, Athletic Directors, and Head Coaches often make decisions with millions of dollars and dozens of jobs hanging in the balance based on a gut feeling and a set of abstract criteria for which there is no empirical data.  You can measure a person’s height, weight, and 40 yard dash time. You can measure how many times that person can bench press 225 lbs. or how high they can jump….. but, how do you measure a person’s heart? Mission 6 Zero provides a way to measure those intangibles. Mission 6 Zero is offering hard data that can help narrow your selection process, supplement your interview process, and know who you have on the team.
