About the Program
Gameday Performance is the best way to ensure improved athleticism, strength, and performance on the field. Our program utilizes proven training methods to help athletes run faster, jump higher, get stronger, and be more resilient. We focus on improving general athletic qualities by using weight training, sprinting, jumping, and throwing to get the best out of all of our athletes. We also incorporate baseball specific exercises to improve rotational power for hitting and pitching. While our main focus is on Baseball players, Gameday performance is open to athletes of all sports, age levels, and experience who have strong desire to get better every day and a passion for what they do.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do We Sign Up?
Click the registration link below to sign up for Gameday Performance and schedule your first session!
Will my Athlete Be Training 1:1?
No. Athletes will be given their own program and progression, but we believe that small group training sessions allow a positive and competitive culture that helps push our athletes to be better, and ensures that training is fun and interesting.
Can we freeze or Cancel our Membership At Anytime?
What If our schedule is always changing and we Can't Go the Same Day Every Week?
We have multiple options per week for your athlete to complete all of their workouts. Use the Calendly sign up link to plan out your workouts up to a week in advance. Sign ups must be completed at least 4 hours prior to the start of the session. Should you need to cancel or change a session for any reason, you may also do this through Calendly. If none of our training times work for you, please reach out to coach Thomas at Thomas@road2gameday.com and we will do our best to accommodate your athlete.
Is My Young Child Safe to lift weights?
YES! Not only is lifting weights safe for kids, but it is also highly beneficial for their physical development. Weight training has been shown to increase lean muscle mass, decrease body fat, improve cardiovascular fitness, and increase bone mineral density. All of our sessions are closely supervised by a qualified coach to ensure that athletes remain safe by training with good technique at the correct loads for them. If you’re still not sure if the program is safe or would like to discuss any health or safety related issues, please reach out to coach Thomas at thomas@road2gameday.com.
How do you individualize your programs?
When we discuss individualization, it needs to be understood that every athlete will NOT have 10 different workouts for every single day. How we view individualization is based on a couple of factors: Age, Lifting Experience, Sports, Injury History, Future Goals and Current Body Type. An individualized program does not mean that every session will be unique, or even completely different from another athlete, but we do ensure that we select the proper methods and progressions that will move our athletes closer towards their goals.
