Welcome 2012!

Welcome 2012! We at East Coast Conditioning wish that all of our current athletes, prospective athletes, and their families had a wonderful holiday season. The New Year is upon us, and our staff is excited to get to work on making 2012 the most successful year we’ve had preparing our athletes. It is time for our spring athletes to unwrap the bats, sticks, gloves, helmets, and training gear from ...the holidays and start getting them game ready.

January is resolution time for many of us. For many of our athletes, New Year’s Resolutions often include athletic goals. Whether those resolutions are to improve certain skills, make a travel team, earn a spot on a Freshmen, JV, or Varsity team, or market yourselves to colleges, now is the time to get committed to training.

High school tryouts for spring sports are only eight weeks away. We have stressed to our high school athletes that it is imperative to be as prepared as possible for tryout season. For our baseball and softball athletes, the unpredictability of March weather often leads to tryouts being held inside over one weekend. Not the most optimum conditions for performing and displaying your talents. The remedy for the subjectivity and unpredictability of high school tryouts is to out work and be more prepared than your competitors.

For all of our athletes, it is important to understand the brevity of the spring seasons. Lacrosse, Baseball, and Softball generally play 20-25 games. For athletes looking to receive post-season accolades, be scouted by colleges, or improve on personal bests, our athletes need to be prepared on opening day, not trying to catch play catch up for a lack of preparation for the first half of the season.

Many of our younger athletes face the challenges of moving up in an age group, joining new teams, or adapting to changes in field size or speed of the game. Our 2012 winter programs are designed to help get our younger athletes acclimated to many of the challenges they’ll face as they advance in the youth leagues.

These next ten weeks are critical for our spring athletes to get prepared for the individual challenges and goals that need to be met before the weather turns and the spring season is underway. We hope that time is taken to make your athletic resolutions for 2012 and that we see you soon inside our doors getting ready to make this year successful on and off the field.
