In addition to receiving individual skill instruction and
team fundamentals, students participate in our Life Skills
Development Program. With this important training students
will develop the emotional and cognitive skills necessary
to overachieve at athletics and the day to day challenges
of life. Sessions focus on how to set and achieve individual
goals and show students how to develop personal leadership
and maintain a positive psychological attitude. We also
encourage sportsmanship in a competitive environment.
A significant enhancement has been added to the Academy’s
program. The Academy will introduce the icebox
mental skills and toughness-training program. The program
is designed to enhance an athlete’s ability to relax
at will, develop laser-like focus and concentration when
they need it the most. The program focuses on the 4C’s
of peak performance mental skills: Composure, Concentration,
Confidence and Commitment skills.

The Academy will utilize the latest in video technology
to record and analyze individuals hitting, pitching, catching,
or basketball shooting techniques.
The Sports Motion Analysis and Review Tool is a powerful
teaching device to enhance the performance of an athlete.
The SMART video system software is especially
designed to analyze and report sports motion. The tool is
especially useful with younger athletes as they can see for
themselves what adjustments they need to make to improve their
performance.

component that permits a hitter to observe the life-size image
of an actual pitcher winding up and delivering a pitch, which

pitching module.
