Georgia Personal Training

Athlete Specific Approach

A training program should not only be designed based on an athlete’s chosen sport, but on the specific needs of each individual athlete.  Our goal is to help every one of our athletes reach their maximum athletic potential, and in doing so, help them achieve their dreams within their sport.   To accomplish this we must keep things specific and personal.  This is why we do not offer large group or team training at our facility like many others do.  The more athletes training at once, the more watered down and generic the training becomes.  Especially when dealing with younger athletes that already require additional supervision and guidance to begin with.

A group class or team approach to training athletes is totally completely flawed concept.  A 135 pound shortstop that runs a 6.5 60 yard dash should be trained completely differently than a 220 pound first baseman that runs a 7.6 but hits for big power.  To have both of them going through an identical workout routine day after day and expecting optimal results for both is ridiculous.  You’d think this would be self explanatory, but the money that can be made by training 20 athletes at once is difficult for trainers to pass up, and most parents can’t discern the difference between “training” and “exercise”.  They don’t understand that a generic workout that can be done by the whole team at once is going to be minimally impactful at best for their son or daughter.  The best athletes in the world don’t train alongside a dozen of their teammates.  They train in a one on one setting or in a small group of 2-4 athletes with several trainers running the session.  They do this because they understand the importance of specificity and personal attention.  They understand the only to stay at the top of the mountain is to keep distancing themselves from the rest of the pack.
