Summer is a great opportunity for athletes to build strength, speed, agility, and confidence — but more training is not always better training.

This week’s blog breaks down how to train for summer performance with a structured plan, why an athlete needs analysis matters, and how to build qualities like strength, deceleration, re-acceleration, conditioning, and recovery while being intentional about injury risk reduction.

This week’s blog breaks down how athletes transition from braking to re-acceleration, why force production matters, and how exercises like single-leg RDL to step-ups and Bulgarian split squat pogos can help build the qualities needed for speed, agility, injury prevention, and performance.

Most athletes train speed—but overlook how they slow down and change direction. This blog introduces change of direction (COD) and why it plays a critical role in both performance and injury prevention. Learn how proper assessment, control, and progression can help athletes move more efficiently and stay healthy.

Youth baseball injuries aren't just 'bad luck'—they are predictable and preventable. Discover how the Bern Consensus and the Yokohama Baseball 9 (YKB-9) program are changing the game for youth athletes. Learn why elite arm care starts with the kinetic chain and how our Dripping Springs clinic uses evidence-based screening to keep pitchers on the mound and out of the training room.
