⚾️ SPEED CHANGES THE GAME. 💨

At Benson Sports Training, we don’t train baseball players just to get stronger—we train them to become faster, more explosive athletes.

Check out NDSU Baseball player casually cruising at 23 MPH on our Tuff Tread . 🔥

Why does speed matter in baseball?

⚡ Faster out of the batter’s box
⚡ More range in the field
⚡ Better acceleration on the bases
⚡ Greater lower-body explosiveness
⚡ More athleticism in EVERY phase of the game

Baseball is an explosive sport. The ability to produce force quickly and put that force into the ground can separate athletes at every level.

And when 23 MPH looks easy, you know there’s another gear. 😳🔥

Don’t just train baseball skills. BUILD THE ATHLETE.

🏃‍♂️ RUNNING IS A SINGLE-LEG SPORT — SO WE TRAIN IT THAT WAY.

At Benson Sports Training, unilateral training is a major part of how we develop our cross country and track athletes.

Every stride requires an athlete to absorb force, stabilize, and produce force on ONE leg at a time.

That’s why we use single-leg strength and power exercises to help athletes:

🔥 Improve force production with each stride
🔥 Build hip, knee, and ankle stability
🔥 Reduce strength imbalances between sides
🔥 Improve balance and control at higher speeds
🔥 Increase running economy and efficiency
🔥 Build durability for thousands of ground contacts

For distance runners, the goal isn’t just getting stronger.

It’s getting stronger in a way that transfers to running.

One leg. One stride. Over and over again. Train accordingly. Athlete: Evelyn Hurley Michael Hurley

🏐 VOLLEYBALL IS A SINGLE-LEG SPORT. TRAIN LIKE IT.

These two Stevens Raiders volleyball players are building serious unilateral strength with a rear-foot-elevated single-leg squat.

🔥 10-second eccentric lowering
🔥 Drop one dumbbell at the bottom
🔥 Finish with 4 strong reps

The slow eccentric builds strength, control, and stability. Dropping the weight allows the athlete to transition into faster, more explosive reps—exactly the qualities volleyball players need to jump, land, cut, and move efficiently.

Build strength one leg at a time. Then turn it into POWER. 💥. Thank you AK

🏐 VOLLEYBALL POWER ISN’T JUST ABOUT YOUR LEGS.

Upper-body strength, power, and stability play a huge role in becoming a more explosive and controlled volleyball athlete.

Coach Tessa Tessa Walter demonstrates one of our favorite combinations:

🔥 Fingertip eccentric push-up — developing strength, control, and stability through the hands, wrists, shoulders, and core.

⚡ Explosive concentric push-up — teaching the upper body to produce force FAST.

🛑 Deceleration into a blocking position — because producing force is only half the equation. Volleyball players also need to absorb and control force while maintaining a strong, stable position at the net.

This is what athletic development looks like: produce force → absorb force → control your body → transfer it to your sport.

Strong shoulders. Stable core. Explosive upper body. Better athlete.

🏐💪 Train for the demands of the game. Train at Benson Sports Training.

🔥 IF IT’S NOT FUN, WE’RE DOING IT WRONG. 🔥

Youth sports performance training should absolutely make kids faster, stronger, more explosive and more coordinated.

But there’s something even more important…

👉 They should WANT to come back.

At Benson Sports Training, we believe young athletes need to run, jump, compete, laugh, learn and be challenged—without making training feel like a job.

Kids have plenty of time for serious training later.

When they’re young, our job is to:

💥 Build athleticism
💥 Build confidence
💥 Teach them how to move
💥 Let them compete
💥 Let them fail and learn
💥 And most importantly… KEEP IT FUN!

Because the best youth sports performance program in the world doesn’t matter if a kid loses their love for sports.

Build the athlete.
Build the confidence.
Keep the kid loving the game.

⚽️💥 WE DON’T TRAIN THE VERTICAL JUMP JUST TO JUMP HIGHER. WE TRAIN IT TO GET FASTER.

For a soccer player, vertical jump training has a much bigger purpose than simply improving a jump test.

It teaches the athlete to produce a massive amount of force into the ground—and produce it FAST.

That matters on the soccer field.

⚡ Faster first step
⚡ Better acceleration
⚡ More explosive changes of direction
⚡ Greater power when attacking the ball
⚡ More separation from defenders

Sprinting and jumping share an important quality: explosive force production.

When we improve an athlete’s ability to rapidly recruit high-threshold motor units and produce force, we’re building an athlete who has the potential to put more force into the ground in less time.

That’s where the transfer happens.

We aren’t chasing a bigger vertical just so we can say an athlete jumps higher.

We’re building POWER that shows up when the game gets fast.

⬆️ Jump higher.
💥 Produce force faster.
💨 GET FASTER ON THE FIELD.
