The last Youth Athletic Foundations Program allowed the players to become their own hero. No one gave them a token and all of a sudden they could hit or field better. They had to show up, not give up when it was hard, (And yes, doing planks will make ANYONE want to give up). They started their journey sometimes confused, and wanting to get better, but not knowing how, and ended their journey feeling like they could take on the world.
We covered everything from basic pushup form, sometimes starting elevated, hip strength, quick and accurate footwork, battle ropes, medicine balls, how to jump and lunge with proper form, learning the balance between explosive yet still holding form, we doubled down on core strength, and created an environment where it was okay to mess up, get back up, and try it again. My personal favorite was watching the kids who couldn't 'jump rope' finally figure it out and seeing the smile on their faces.
We test on first and last day things like pushup repetition, plank hold, broad jumps, hip stability, 1 leg stability, hinge form, and shuttle run.
We also practiced mindfulness, how to stay present in the game, proper breathwork when things get hard, and positive self talk.
We are super excited for you to join us on this 6 week journey. Whether you're new to baseball/softball, or have played before but want to get better, or you play another sport and want to get better at that, we are here to help.
Starts October 27th, and ends Dec 8th, with a small break for Thanksgiving.
