Team DRC Trainers

As parents, any child that plays a sport, you find out very quickly, the level they play at. When your child expresses a "want:" to compete, you want to do what you can for them. We'd been through a few "training" sessions with different trainers and facilities but when the owner of our organization presented our son with a gift for his hard work at baseball, we took him to DRC to see what they offered. The minute we walked through the door, they presented a comfortable environment and a place you KNEW you came here to work. Sabin has worked with most of the trainers at DRC but he's settled in with one trainer now and it's made a difference for him. His strength has increased, his agility, speed and understanding of what his body is going through has been pretty impressive to watch. Since coming to DRC, Sabin has gained almost 5 mph on his pitches, his hitting for his size is utterly impressive. Before DRC, his strength with his bat was pretty good, but now most balls are finding the warning track. His throwing from the outfield was great before DRC...NOW? His arm strength is one of the best on the team and he's not one of the biggest kids on the team by any stretch. Proper training is key for a young athlete. Sabin was a really good baseball player when he came to DRC. You can visibly see the changes that DRC has made on his baseball game. Thank you DRC.

One of the main reasons I was so motivated to join DRC was the trainers. The atmosphere is so good and every time I walk in the door I’m welcomed and surrounded by good people. In volleyball ankle injuries can be career ending. That is why I am so glad my trainer Ashley is so persistent in getting a good ankle warm up. During the training session, the trainers are very engaged, helping you with the correct form, and guiding you in what weight to do. The finisher is fast paced and really helps on the volleyball court. For me, DRC is great because I see my growth, it helps my mindset in volleyball because my trainer helps me work past my mental blocks with certain movements, and the environment makes it an enjoyable place to be.

Aspen highly enjoys coming to the DRC and working with the sports trainers! She enjoys learning about proper body mechanics and how to optimize her performance on the court. One thing she has been working on implementing more is the education on nutrition. Before coming to the DRC she didn't know how to properly fuel her body for certain activities (practice, tournaments, etc). Despite a back injury early in the season, the DRC and trainers have been able to modify her plan to keep her engaged and making progress after the initial setback. We are excited to see her progress this year after working at DRC!
