Breaking the Mold: Our Approach to Youth Baseball Training

Breaking the Mold: Our Approach to Youth Baseball Training

“What would you like to work on today?”

If this is the first thing out of your trainer’s mouth when you arrive at a facility to take a baseball lesson, get out of there.

Youth baseball training has been stuck in the same, ineffective cycle for too long. It’s become far too common (and easy) for trainers and facilities alike to collect your payment, stick you with a trainer whose primary experience is from their own playing days and then leave your athlete’s development to complete chance as you have drills thrown at you without any critical evaluation or thought.
