Prove it
A button means you can actually do it
Buttons aren't for time spent. Some tests are a number you measure: log your personal best, and the site shows when you've hit an approved standard. Others are about doing a skill properly, so there's no number. You show Glen or Jeff, and they award the button.
- Train
- Work on the skill. As much or as little as you like.
- Prove it
- Show you can do it, or complete a measured test.
- Personal best
- Your best measured result, saved on this device.
- Standard hit
- You met an approved benchmark, like Engine under 10:00.
- Button
- A real GameSmarts achievement. Glen or Jeff award it.
How each test is checked
- Show Glen or Jeff
- You show them in person. For skills like Ball Boss there's no number to log.
- Timed by anyone
- A parent, teammate, sibling, Glen or Jeff times or measures it, and you log the result yourself.
- Caught doing it
- Glen spots it in game or practice video and awards it from the clip.
- Recognize it
- SEE IT puzzles train your eyes. They help you learn, but they don't earn a button on their own.
Coaches can tell Glen or Jeff when they see something — that's a nudge to check, not an award.
