WHAT WE STRESS?

OUR PROGRAM IS BUILT ON 3 PRINCIPLES

WE BUILD CONFIDENCE 

Athletic ability and knowledge of the game can only take a player so far. Ultimately a great athlete has to have confidence within to achieve their potential. During your time with Gym Rat Performance Training you will be thoroughly instructed in the mental aspects of athletic performance to help you fulfill your athletic peak.

WE TEACH FUNDAMENTAL & SKILLS

The game is based on doing the small things perfectly so that one may build upon this foundation and progress to the harder skills required to be an elite level player. Our programs teach the foundations and do not progress to the intermediate and advanced skills and techniques until one masters the process. As the old adage proclaims, “One cannot run before they can walk.”

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING
