Athletes need to learn their bodies & how to safely utilize them in controlled & explosive ways.
Also, let’s not forget the competitive drive & mentality gains that are made here!
Growth in this area = Growth in your sport
I would ABSOLUTELY do these things if I had to go thru the recruiting process again:
(Most of them are things I did do - Dead sprinting onto the field every time- was an absolute for me)
Athletes- DO NOT do a drill if you don’t understand WHY you are doing it!
A deep understanding of mechanics and your swing are crucial in improving your game at the plate!
The hitting world isn’t short on hitting drills..

Our athletes have been working hard this off season to perfect their throws by gaining both accuracy and velocity.
💪🏻❤️
We would like to send a very big ‘Thank You’ to our friends at @pgsiouxfalls for having us last night. It is an incredible facility and we are grateful for the opportunity to stop in.
