2018-19 Top Gun – Throwers Off Season Development Program

Please bear with me, just a quick story:

“Two years ago a young man showed up at Gamespeed. He had been cut from his high school team his senior year. Now he was entering his first year of Junior college but still had the desire to play. I asked him how good he was and he said he didn’t “throw very hard but I know I can play”. I said let’s get you evaluated. I sent him to a very knowledgable and respected pitching coach in the area. After throwing for the coach , he was told pretty much “he didn’t have it”, his velocity was 72-74mph and he was 18 years old, just too far behind. He was undersized and his body unathletic and weak. I asked him what did he want to do, he said I know I can play, so I said let’s get to work. For the next two years this young man put his head down and got to it, he worked out 3-4 days a week a Gamespeed and did the homework I gave him. He rarely missed a workout and […]

Home Training: 5 Personal Qualities That Lead to Athletic Success

Parents frequently ask me, “what can I do to get my athlete better?” In their minds the focus is always on athletic abilities ie, run faster, get stronger, jump higher. While these can improve performance there is a more profound and far reaching approach that will not only translate into better athletic performance but also better functioning young adults. It requires no equipment, guru trainer or state of the art gym. All it takes is the simple decision to do so.

Five Personal Qualities That Lead to Athletic Success:

Organizational skills – Teach your athlete how to organize their lives, if an athlete can’t juggle chores, school work and other activites they won’t have the discipline to structure their athletic life of practices, workouts and competitons effectively.
Preparation skills– Prepearation requires forethought and the opportunity to be proactive rather than reactive. Preparation calls for the mental ability to analyze your strengths and weaknesses, set goals and define a purpose. It makes the athlete actively involved in their success.
Consistency – Attendance, work ethic, and technique ingrains the habits that lead to good performance. The athlete becomes more engaged because it requires a commitment.
Listening – If an athlete doesn’t have the […]

HOW PREPARED ARE COLLEGE FRESHMEN ATHLETES FOR THE RIGORS OF COLLEGE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING?

(Bret Sterrer – Alhambra High- Lewis & Clark College -Baseball/Pitcher)

Gamespeed’s College Ready Program was devised at the onset of its existence. Taking from my own experiences as an athlete and coach I saw the importance of being prepared for the transitions from middle to high school, high school to college and college to professional athletics. There is a jump at each level both physically and mentally.

Years later it seems very few have caught on to change things. Nice to know that Gamespeed athletes are not in that majority. I am always proud to post on our site and sing the praises of the GS trained athlete in college. The athletes illustrate the importance of properly”managed training” and its effect on how far you can go. Our off-season “College Ready Program” is specifically designed to keep you from being a statistic. Being good enough to get recruited is short-sighted, you want to be good enough to play. Waiting until your on campus may be too late.

A recent study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning published a survey on the opinions of university strength and conditioning coaches and the preparedness of freshman athletes […]

Masters Athlete

Masters Athletes

ARE YOU OVER THIRTY? A MASTERS ATHLETE?

Looking to improve your game? Want a different sort of training package? Want to train like you did as a collegiate athlete? Gamespeed can provide the proper training structure and knowledge that can raise your game. Being competitive doesn’t always wane with time. I feel “once competitive always competitive”, we just change the outlet. Whether your a former athlete or missed your chance to be and now want to enjoy being a competitive athlete consider training with us. Regular gym and Crossfit routines are not designed for performance in mind. They can also be highly unsafe for an older athlete, especially one who has been out the game a while. Want the results that show on the field, court or track, try us out.

Typical Benefits of Gamespeed Training for Masters athletes:

Improved Movement and Agility skills
Reduced Risk of Injury
Increased Stamina
