Throwing Harder, Running Faster, Jumping Higher

Athletic potential is the pre-requisite for high level competition. Past that, it’s about who has put in the most time improving their skill.

If you have some skill and some talent, you can’t waste an opportunity by letting others outwork you. Plain and simple.

Young athletes that want to:

• Throw a ball harder and farther
• Hit a ball harder and farther
• Jump higher
• Run faster

This information was made for you. I created Peak Sports to provide the best quality training service and focus on the specific feats of strength and power that are the separator between good and great. I believe the role of a strength and conditioning coach is there to support the players goals and align my thoughts and goals with the team. Through training for better mobility, gaining strength, and becoming more fit you will be able to hone your skills to a greater degree.

Some questions I know will eventually come up from training online:

• How do things change if I work with you remotely rather than in-person? Communication is extremely important. All you would need is filming capabilities on a phone or device.
• How much is each individual program? Currently around $50-$100/month.
• Do you have a detailed plan on how to get me closer to my goals? Yes.
• Can I follow your blog and get information for free? Yes.

I believe in order to help an athlete reach success, you need to improve mobility, increase strength and force output, and monitor fitness levels to ensure they can practice for as long as the coaching staff requires to get better.

Force output is key. If you can’t put force into the ground, you are going to rely solely on skill and eventually reach a point where everyone around you has both skill and physical capabilities. Michael Jordan hired a strength coach to bulk up and help him reach a greater level. If the one of the greatest athletes of all time believed it could take him to higher levels, what’s stopping you?

Hitting an object harder is possible if you are able to generate more force into the ground, rotate at a faster speed, and move with more efficient motion. Jumping higher starts with more force into the ground. Throwing harder is a combination of generating force, transferring it efficiently, and practicing the skill. All these feats of athleticism start with one thing. If you stink at generating force, the ball isn’t going anywhere fast. Hitting in the cage, throwing with a friend, running sprints are all essential things that will help with gaining strength and power. But throwing a 5 oz baseball over and over will only do so much for your total body strength.

The point is this: It’s time to train

Make the decision to get serious and start the process towards dominating.
