The Xplosive Speed Spring Training Preparation Program begins with an extensive investigation process to determine each athlete's specific needs:

• In-depth Interview

• Comprehensive Orthopedic Evaluation
• Performance Assessment & Testing

• Individual Exercise Prescription (specific to each individual’s needs, strengths and limiting factors)

• Tailored Strength Program Design (customized to meet performance goals)

Testing and evaluation results are then used to create a tailored program which will enhance the specific goals of the client. Through this individually prescription-based process we can effectively create a synergistic training effect that greatly diminishes performance detractors and maximizes performance enhancers.

The Xplosive Speed Spring Training Preparation Program effectively prepares each individual to shine during Spring Training and individual workouts. This intensive training program replicates all the demands of Spring Training and appropriately prepares each athlete for the rigors of the entire season. We take pride in improving each athlete’s athletic ability and help raise his game to the next level by teaching skills that actually transfer to the ball field. The ultimate goal is to fully prepare each player to make a positive impression with coaches, scouts and team personnel to make the opening day roster and be a contributing member of the team's post-season run.
