Dana Cavalea: Performance Training for Baseball

Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to work with the Baseball Factory at its various clinics and tournaments and have seen nothing but a first class operation. What separates the Factory from other youth baseball companies is the fact that they have great morals and guiding principles. Taking players to the next level through quality instruction, providing great exposure, and teaching players life lessons through their highly acclaimed coaching staff is what they are all about. In addition to providing lessons about the game and life, the Factory has added a new element to their camp that really creates separation in regards to athletic development. The focus isn't simply on skill, but the development of athleticism, which ultimately leads to a better all around ballplayer.

Over the next few months I will personally be providing the Factory with articles and blog entries on Performance Training for Baseball and Nutrition. My goal is to help spread the word about positive lifestyles and how to treat your body for maximum results on and off the playing field. In addition, check out www.mlstrength.com for the most cutting edge information for ballplayers, coaches, and parents.

I would recommend the Baseball Factory to any young athlete (and most importantly their family) looking to get to the next level of play, whatever that level may be for their particular skill level and personal goals. I am happy to work with the Factory through my career and help young athletes reach their dreams.
