The Summer Ball Blueprint was created to fill a significant need: training and developing elite level collegiate baseball players while they still play and participate in a collegiate summer ball season.
These summers typically prioritize games and innings while neglecting the physical development that is crucial for 18-23 year-olds competing for playing time at their respective universities.
Insert: The Summer Ball Blueprint.
This 8 week program utilizes simple, yet effective microdosed (6 days/week) programming that stimulates growth and development without crushing the body and nervous system of the athlete so they can continue to compete at a high level.
