Turning two isn’t just about arm strength— but rather about quickness and release. Minimizing the amount of movement to increase opportunity.

For a 2nd baseman, the footwork around the bag determines everything that happens next: body control, direction, SAFETY, arm slot, release, and accuracy.

⚾ Receive → Deflect → Redirect

Get the feet underneath you. Receive center of body and take short arm action to 1st.

We don’t train the double play just to be fast. We train it to be efficient, controlled, and accurate.

Good feet create good throws.

Some athletes leave an impact on you that goes far beyond their performance—and you are one of them.

What I’m most proud of isn’t just how much faster or stronger you became, but the determination you showed throughout the process. Even when the injury could have given you every reason to stop, you never quit. You stayed committed, kept showing up, kept working, and continued finding ways to get better.

That kind of toughness and resilience can’t be measured by a stopwatch or how much weight you lift. It’s something you carry with you, and I know it will serve you well wherever life takes you next.

I’m incredibly proud of the athlete you’ve become, but even more proud of the person and competitor I’ve had the opportunity to watch grow.

As you begin this next chapter, know that I’ll always be rooting for you. Keep that same fight, work ethic, and no-quit mentality.

Proud of you. Go be great. Your best is still ahead.

A lot of young hitters are visual learners 💻 Sometimes they don’t need another explanation—they need to SEE it. 🎥⚾️

That’s why video has become such an important part of how I train hitters.

1️⃣ Record the swing.
2️⃣ Slow it down.
3️⃣ Show what their body and barrel are actually doing.
4️⃣ Make the adjustment.
5️⃣ Then let them see the difference.

What I’m saying as a coach might finally click when an athlete can see it for themselves 💯

The goal isn’t to create hitters who obsess over mechanics. It’s to use video as a tool to build awareness, understanding, and confidence—then allow them to compete.

Sometimes the best coaching tool is simply hitting REPLAY. 🔁

Growth happens when athletes learn to trust the process. It’s not about immediate results, but about showing up, staying consistent, and being intentional with every rep. The progress may not always be visible, but the work is adding up.

Trust the process. Embrace the work. Consistency wins.

College athletes back home for fall break and right back to putting in work! 💪🥎

One of the most rewarding parts of what we’re building at Elite Performance Center is creating a place athletes can always call home. No matter where their journey takes them, they know they have a place to come back to, get their reps in, and continue perfecting their craft.

The work doesn’t stop when you reach the next level. The standard stays the same! 💯

Defense starts with preparation. ⚾️

Working on footwork patterns and exploring different attack angles on ground balls to help our athletes become more efficient, confident, and versatile defenders.

It’s not just about fielding the baseball. It’s about learning how to move, create better angles, and put yourself in the best position to make the play.

Better movement. Better angles. Better defenders.

Arm Care ➡️ DP Fundamentals ➡️ Throwing Accuracy

In our group defense sessions we warm up the arm 💪then work game throws. (Double Plays or Infield In plays at plate) This class we worked fundamentals around the bag. Two hands + Throwing accurately or shut throw down if off line.

In games, I see a lot of throws make their way into dugout or down RF line because of forced decisions and poor alignment. Continue working game like situations and game will become natural when things speed up 💯

Using the tools 🛠️ to help capture swing feels.

We want to help every hitter but a lot of the work done prior to hitting a ball 🥎 ⚾️ gives them the feel they want to take into their rounds. Movement is 🔑THEN ‘approach’. One step at a time 💯

The work starts before the first swing.

We use our prep to get the body moving, the nervous system firing, and the athlete ready to hit at MAX INTENSITY. Once we’re ready to go, the focus shifts to the details—creating a plan, understanding what we’re trying to accomplish, and executing with purpose.

Prepare the body. 🔒 in the details. Then compete.💪

Working with younger hitters is all about building the foundation. ⚾️

We’re not just taking swings—we’re learning how to understand the swing.

🎥 Watch the swing.
🔍 Identify the problem.
🛠️ Make the adjustment.
📈 Build confidence through repetition.

The goal isn’t to make every young hitter look the same. It’s to give them the tools to understand their movement, make adjustments, and step into the box with confidence.

Build the foundation. Trust the work. Let the results follow.

Strength matters. But athleticism is the goal. 💪⚡️

We’re not just training athletes to move more weight — we’re training them to move better.

Agility. Quickness. Coordination. Explosiveness. Strength.

The weight room should complement what happens on the field. Get stronger, learn to control your body, produce force, and then learn to apply that force fast.

Build strength. Develop movement. Create ATHLETES.
