SPEED, AGILITY, and POWER
Since baseball is a game of inches, baseball players need elite training to get the competitive advantage for those inches. At Athletic Republic we consistently prove that our speed, agility and power training makes athletes faster, stronger and more agile than our competition. Getting 0.1 seconds off your 60 yard dash time can potentially put you at first base 4-5 feet ahead of where you get to now. Think of all the ground balls last season that you almost legged out. The steal that you were 6" away from being safe. What about the grounder in the hole at short that you just nipped with your glove. There is no doubt that speed and agility training is absolutely essential to becoming a more complete player.
THROWING
Arm strength is a concern of every baseball player. We measure arm strength most accurate by determining throwing velocity or throwing distance. Our patented throwing cord has taken countless pitchers, infielders and outfielders to the next level by improving their arm strength. As a patented piece of equipment, this training is only available at Athletic Republic. In a published, peer-reviewed study of college-level baseball players who trained with the throwing cord for 12 sessions over 6 weeks, the average improvement on fastball velocity with the same accuracy was 4 mph! The average!!!!! One pitcher went from topping out at 81 mph to hitting 90 mph on the gun. This improvement has been documented and reproduced consistently with athletes of high school level and above at all of our centers.
HITTING
When Jim Thome was looking to keep his competitive edge at the plate he sought Athletic Republic and our patented resistance cord technology. After one trial session with the cords he realized how explosive his bat speed could become through the hitting zone. After several years, Mr. Thome is still hitting home runs and still using Athletic Republic to keeps his hands fast and his hip drive strong through consistent resistance cord training. You will be amazed at how powerful you feel with the bat head through the strike zone.
