“I must say this experience was amazing. The kids loved it!!! As coaches we know how 5 hours of ice a week is just not enough, this off-ice training helped these kids physically, mentally and with discipline. It brought them closer as a team and helped drive their motivation. Results were seen every game, this training has helped bring this team from 5th place to 1st place in one year. Thanks to all who were involved.”

When I first was introduced to the White Oaks baseball strengthening program, I was told that the main focus would be on speed, power and core strength. With the instruction of Phil, Peter and Chris it is easy to notice a difference in speed and core strength during practise. As a result of consistent repetition of certain exercises such as the core plank and medicine ball drills, my speed and power during sprints has increased dramatically. It seems as though my take off has become much quicker and my first step is much more powerful.

Also, when I joined the pitchers group, the resistance training conducted with the rubber tubing has benefited my shoulder strength. Throughout the winter I have not had shoulder problems because of the conditioning our team works on at White Oaks along with the added tubing drills I work on at my house.

To sum up, I believe that the White Oaks training program has improved my game in multiple forms. Increased arm strength, power, speed and core strength is all a result of well-designed drills and proper exercising techniques. The completion of the conditioning program at White Oaks added to personal training on ones own time can increase skill level and ability in order go become a better athlete.

Since starting this program at White Oaks I have noticed a huge improvement in my balance both on and off the ice. I have also notice an improvement in my starts and stops and can now get more power out of every stride. Faster foot work and over all leg strength has been achieved while learning simple exercises that I can do outside of the program. Overall I am very satisfied with the results of twelve weeks of work.
