Baseball Training

The game of baseball has a special place in my heart. My whole family are Yankee fans, and my grandmother introduced me to the game as a little kid by taking me to Mets games at Shea Stadium (my grandfather owned an auto body shop within walking distance of Shea Stadium). My very first game was against the San Francisco Giants and to see Barry Bonds, it was probably one of the happiest days I had as a kid. My grandmother taught me how to keep score and statistics. My mother use to get upset because I knew the Yankees line-up and rotation by heart, but struggled with my multiplication tables! Baseball is a great game, it lets grown ups be kids and can teach you lessons of life.

Load management is a hot topic in sports, but most of the time it’s used improperly and not entirely understood. It encompasses not only pitch counts or games played, but also incorporates practices, training sessions, nutrition, and sleep habits. With my experience I can assist in navigating “load management” by using objective data that is used by the most respected baseball player development facility in the world, Driveline Baseball.

My approach to baseball players, or any athlete I work with is be part of the team to individualize care and management. Which means communication with head coaches, pitching coaches, hitting coaches, agents, etc. is vital to the management of a player.

In addition, I have a network of individuals ranging to pitching coaches, hitting coaches, strength & conditioning coaches, nutritionists, and mental health professionals to manage a players holistically to assist players maintain high performance.
