About The Sports Farm
The Sports Farm Mission Statement
At The Sports Farm, our mission is to cultivate young athletes' skills, character, and love for sports through innovative training programs and a supportive community.

What we do at The Sports Farm - Elite Sports Training
Individualization
The human body is highly complex, and each person's bony anatomy is inherently unique. Range of movement stems from the independent interactions of bones, with their initial positions shaped by breathing strategies. There is not a universal optimal range of motion that each athlete should shoot for. Rather, learn how to leverage your unique superpowers that are specific to your configuration.
Training
Are you ready to boost your rotational power, increase your sprint speed, and add mass? At The Sports Farm, we meticulously design training program to align with your sport-specific goals. Our experienced coaches deliver personalized and comprehensive training protocols, including foundational packages that integrate daily mobility exercises, strength training session, sprint work, and specialized pre-swing or pre-throw plans. Unleash your full potential with our tailored approach to athletic excellence.
Assessments
Achieving peak performance begins with a comprehensive assessment to evaluate your current abilities compared to future aspirations. How does your unique movement profile and force signature influence your performance on the field? Through our detailed evaluation, we discover your range of movement options, analyze downforce production, and assess the speed and magnitude of force applied into the ground. Our assessment contains both qualitative and quantitative elements, mirroring the nuanced nature of human movement itself.
All assessments will be video recorded and uploaded to your Onform account. Included will be a video breakdown of your movement assessment where we will identify key areas for optimizing your physical development. We will systematically monitor your progress through future assessments for an objective evaluation of improvement.

Coaching Career
In my 16+ years of coaching, I've worked with baseball players at all levels, helping them excel both mentally and physically. From group settings to individual lessons, I lean hard into creating critical foundations in both physical and mental approaches in both pitching and hitting. Routines create our foundations and who we are as individuals.
Coaching Philosophy
I believe in a holistic approach to coaching, connecting deeply with each client. I focus on both the mental and physical aspects of training. Baseball can be a mentally demanding sport, affecting players' confidence and resilience. My goal is to help clients build mental toughness and develop a robust physical game plan.
I'm passionate about guiding athletes to reach their full potential. Whether you're aiming to improve your performance, overcome mental hurdles, I'm here to support you.
