Dr. Troutwine's Athletic Profile (TAP) has earned
much recognition and respect on and off the playing
field. Take some time to review some of the media
attention Dr. Troutwine has "tapped" into!
The Kansas City Star, 9 September 2003
"'The Book' is the brainchild of two buddies, Steve Butler
and Bob Troutwine.... Liberty (high school) has adopted most
of Troutwine's ideas....What separates Liberty is how far
they have taken these ideas, how closely they adhere to
them, and that it's all written down and distributed to
coaches, players and parents.... There are a lot of factors
for Liberty's success, and this is definitely one of them."

“Hiring the Profilers” by Peter Rebhahn
For a new generation of job seekers, a polished resume
may not be enough. They may need a winning personality, literally.
More and more employers these days are asking job
candidates to take personality tests as pert of the hiring process; in
fact, personality testing is now a $400 million Industry, according to
an estimate by the Association of Test Publishers. The reason is
simple, says Industrial psychologist Robert Troutwine, Ph.D. "No
company would hire without interviewing, but most do a very poor Job
of it," he says, especially for entry-level jobs.
No matter how you slice it, employers score, Troutwine
says. Corporations that administer the test online can screen out
candidates who don't match Job profiles. And the lucky ones they
select for interviews are far more likely to be per formers than
slackers.

BUILDING TEAM PLAYERS-Keeping his Head in the Game”
by Carolyn K Chapman
Over the years he’s [Troutwine] become an
expert with expansion teams and counts the Jaguars, Panthers and
Browns among his clients. “We use the TAP results as a part of our
process of assessing players for the draft each year, and we review
the Troutwine profiles of veterans we may consider signing. Over the
years we have tracked reports and I have witnessed the accuracy of
these results,” says Bill Polian, president of the Indianapolis
Colts. Another endorsement comes from Bill Belichick, defensive
coordinator of the New York Jets: “It [TAP] has helped me understand
how a player will fit into the program. We have used this process
over the years to evaluate both players and staff. I can tell you
from my experience it’s very accurate. It can give you tremendous
insight into yourself, your program and your players.”

“Troutwine may see into Patriots’ future”
by Ron Borges
Since 1984, Troutwine has done for the NFL
what he previously did for years for corporate America: assess
clients’ potential employees. With the dawning of free agency and the
kind of bonus money that is now being laid out, the need for as much
information as possible about the potential of a draftee or a
high-priced free agent has grown, and with it a new wing of NFL
scouting.
