Ethan says, “I was struggling to improve and couldn’t find anything that worked for me and was backed up by research, and then one day I was just scrolling on Instagram and I found your program and all of your posts made sense so I decided to work towards each of those metrics hoping it would increase velocity and make me a better athlete. What changed after I started working towards the formula was that I became a way better goal setter and felt a purpose to work harder every day knowing it was going to take time. What also helped was that my 60 time went from a 7.5 to a 6.9 in that time span too which to me seems correlated to parts of your program, and since I’m an infielder that helped a lot, also my exit velocity off the tee went from 84 to 92 with wood.”

Ethan’s insights are great, most specifically about goal setting. Having clear-cut metrics that are easy to quantify and strive for while directly impact performance and reducing injury risk factors allows each athlete to take ownership of their personal development. Accurate metrics to drive your program will elicit faster results allow you to make better decisions in training.
