A method and system of evaluating athletes includes the steps of subjecting an athlete to a first battery of objective tests directed to the athlete's functioning brain capacity; determining a set of test scores for the athlete; providing a data base comprising of competitive test scores from another athlete sharing at least one common identifier with the athlete being evaluated; comparing the test scores of both athletes; and ranking the test scores the athlete being evaluated relative to the competitive test scores of the other athlete. In one embodiment, the objective tests are directed to measuring the athlete's short term memory, learning, reasoning/problem solving, attentional focus, short term memory retention, processing speed, and visual motor capacity.
