What parents and athletes say

"Our son has been an athlete with Griff since his very first day, and the difference we've seen in him has been incredible. The training, knowledge, motivation and attention to detail have made a tremendous impact, not only on his physical performance, but on his confidence, work ethic and mindset."
Matt Harriss · parent · Google review
"It feels a lot more individualized and purposeful. Instead of just doing a random workout or copying what someone else is doing, there's actually a reason behind the exercises and how they're programmed. If their athlete is serious about improving, it's worth it."
Maddie Richard · college volleyball athlete

And the numbers

Maddox got cut from the junior high team. A year later he made it. Vertical 12.6" to 18.7".
Matty went 14.2" to 20.2" on his vertical in five months and made the junior high team as a 6th grader.
Hayden hit .280 as a sophomore. He hit over .400 the next year.

Three ways to train

Pick one on the application. We will tell you if it is the right fit.

Hitting

2:1 small group. Mechanics, approach and timing, tracked on Rapsodo and video.

Strength & speed

A written program. Sprints and jumps tested, not guessed.

Hybrid

Both on one plan, plus the app and coaching seven days a week.

Every swing gets measured

You are not guessing whether it is getting better. Neither are we.

Instant video reviewHitters have access to every swing they take in the cage, and we can watch them together, in real time. The athlete sees what we are talking about instead of just hearing it.
RapsodoData and metrics tracked to go along with the video analysis. Progress is a number we track, not a feeling we guess on.
