Dr. Eric Nichols, Founder of MMPT, breaks down what we’re looking for during our athlete assessment process 📈

Assessment Day with Etowah Baseball 🦅

Our goal is to take a complete look at each athlete…not just how they move, but where they currently stand from a mobility, strength and power standpoint, then use that information to help guide their training.

Key Areas of Focus →
→ Overall mobility
→ Lower-body strength
→ Rotational mobility
→ Rotator cuff strength
→ Individual movement limitations
→ Strength + power development
→ Shoulder and elbow recovery needs

Technology / Assessment Tools →
→ Movement assessment
→ Force plates
→ Motion capture
→ Comprehensive athlete scoring + comparison to our baseball database
→ Individualized training priorities based on assessment results

Assess. Identify. Develop.

Year 2. Same standard 🏆

Hear from Coach Robinson, HC at Etowah High School, talk about the continued partnership between Etowah Baseball and The Hill 🗣️

Year 1 → State Champions

Now the focus shifts to continuing that success.

Our preseason assessments give us a complete look at both hitters and pitchers, helping identify where each athlete is now and creating a clear plan for their development throughout the year.

Assessment → Development → Results.

Excited to keep building with Etowah Baseball in Year 2 📈

MB Slam Behind into Hip Toss ⚡️

A simple med ball drill we use to help athletes feel what it’s like to stay in their legs instead of standing up or coming out of the load too early.

Key areas of focus:
→ Stay grounded through the load
→ Control the center of mass
→ Rotate from a strong position

Give this one a try and see if you can feel the difference 👀

Building a strong foundation with our youth athletes 🧱

Key Areas of Focus:
→ Stay strong and connected through the foundation
→ Slot the hands into a better position to turn
→ Hold direction through the baseball
→ Work behind the ball NOT around it

Simple positions. Simple cues. Better movement.
