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.
