As spring baseball season gears up for MS and HS players we get a lot of athletes pause training for their season.
When it comes to all athletes, baseball especially, there’s one thing that pro players continue to do year around and it’s not negotiable…hit the weight room!
Competition is an incredible tool to motivate your athletes
We’ve added a weekly or biweekly challenge to the end of our training sessions and the athletes LOVE IT. First thing they do when they come in is see how their score holds up to everyone else on the board
Chase Dorsey (‘26 VA) destroys a hanging curveball out for a 2 run 💣. EZ power to the PS. Finished with 2 hits in the game. #WWBA@PG_VirginiaWV@PG_Uncommitted
Had a lot of fun this morning with @OaktonFootball! Guys competed on Front Squat and Bench to see who could move the weight the fastest. Lots of energy and enthusiasm
Below are the results!

Strength training is like building a house. If you take your time and make sure all the pieces are stable and running the way they’re supposed to, the house will last a long time
If you rush and progress faster than you should, the house will constantly break down & need repair
7th/8th Grade Strength & Speed Camp!
First day in the weight room, teaching them basic Squat & Hinge patterns with some good ole Goblet Squats and RDLs 🤑
Started with a light KB, then added tempo, then let them add or reduce KB weight once before the set you see here.
