More than Just Conditioning

Earlier this wee I received an email from a parent. I've worked with his son John for two off-seasons. He recently completed six months of training in preparation for the upcoming baseball season.

Over the 6 months he increased his arm speed by 9 MPH, his bat speed by 12.4 MPH, his Vertical Jump by 4 inches. He also dropped 2 tenths of second off his speed and agility.

Bottom line he worked hard- he put in the effort and now he's reaping the rewards. Benefits that transcend the physical. There are benefits to training beyond running faster and throwing harder. Benefits that can't be measured with a radar gun or speed timers.

Changes in work ethic and self-esteem. Through his hard work he's creating opportunities for himself and moving out of the shadow of his siblings.

Here is what his dad had to say about it:

Hi Mark,

I wanted to thank you for the work you did with John this past 6 months. I found the 4” gained in vertical jump as eye popping as the 9 mph gain in arm speed.

I think the program has not only taught him that he needs to work hard to achieve measurable goals physically but that the same is true with school work. John should be for the first time a high honors student. He also scored high enough on the Benet test to not need his sisters’ legacy status for admission.

The work you do with John is nothing short of amazing and he as well as I, look forward to the next 4 years to see what he can achieve.

Thanks for the time and thought you put into the best program I ever spent money on for my son.

Best,

John C
