ELITE COMPETITION
The Fall is designed for gains to velocity, speed, bat speed, strength, arm strength, size, athleticism and muscle composition. Each program is designed to make the player more "toolsy" and more of an impact player.
The Winter is a time for feedback, shut down, and recruiting help for those uncommitted players. We begin developing a player development road map for what the player needs improvement at and what their standing is within our organization heading into the spring. We conduct exit meetings with each player that are an honest assessment of each part of their game.
The Spring is game-intensive. A3 schedules maintenance lifts so the players don't lose what they've gained in the Fall. But the spring is more about in-game development vs other academies, Junior Colleges and other small colleges. As the players play a more difficult schedule, they are forced to adapt to the level of competition.
