WHAT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE?
High Performance is more than a program for BDG athletes; it’s a lifestyle.
The BDG High Performance program is a year-round training membership with monthly commitments that entails individualized programs, hands-on instruction with our professionally trained staff, and instant feedback with training updates and workload monitoring using front-of-the-line technology and data systems.
Each player will undergo a detailed clinical, performance, and biomechanical assessment to establish individual needs. We analyze our findings, explain them to you, and develop a program specifically tailored to help you reach your goals.
Our state-of-the-art assessment guides the individualized programming that High Performance athletes are given. Our coaches use the assessment’s findings alongside the athlete’s goals to help further the development of every BDG athlete.

OUR TRAINING PROCESS
1. CARs, Correctives, Dynamic Warm-up
Athletes begin their training day by completing their Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs). These develop general range-of-motion and act as a daily check-in for our athletes with their own bodies to help them better understand how their body feels each training day.
Next, athletes complete their prescribed corrective exercises identified during their assessment to address the areas of highest need.
Lastly, athletes will perform a dynamic warm-up to get their body prepped for the demand of their training day ahead.
This section of the training day takes athletes between 15 to 30 minutes for athletes to complete.
2. Skill Development (Pitching/Hitting)
The next step in our training process is the development of the athlete’s skills. After their assessment, athletes are given individualized programs based on their mechanical and skill development needs. Here, athletes will utilize various forms of technology, accompanied with feedback from our professional pitching & hitting coaches to best guide the athlete through their training day and to tackle the areas outlined on their assessment. Training days are prescribed and scheduled out based on the macro-workload of the athlete, time of year and goals.
Skill work is specifically tailored to the athlete’s primary positions they play. Pitchers, position players and dual players will have differences in their training days and thus, training times on the skill side will vary widely.
3. Strength & Conditioning + Arm Care
To wrap up their training day athletes will complete a prescribed lift and arm care exercises based on their training load, skill day and findings of their assessment.
Lifting is periodized, age/level appropriate and made to develop strength, speed & power.
Arm care exercises are utilized to develop the weakest areas outlined by the assessment and are pivotal to maintain the health of the throwing arm year-round to keep up with training/playing demands.
Lifting and Arm Care typiclly take between 45 minutes to an hour for athletes to complete.

Do you only train pitchers?
No, we are known for our pitching development and that is our specialty. We have expanded our programs to include hitting with our new instructors.
How does my team training fit into BDG's program?
At BDG we try to be as flexible and accommodative as possible with athletes' outside commitments (ie. team training).
If athletes are required to follow strength, throwing, etc, programs by their team we can make accommodations for that.
Our number 1 priority is making our athletes better, whatever outside demands an athlete may have we can adjust our programs on our end to uphold that mission and satisfy your team's requirements.
Why is an assessment mandatory?
The assessment is the building block to all our programming decisions.
By running athletes through a comprehensive assessment and taking the time to get to know the athlete, their history, current skills, physical makeup, etc, we are able to construct individualized and scientifically driven training programs that have unrivaled results.
As athletes enter the program, we can refer back to their assessment as a north star for where the lowest hanging fruit is to attack for their development.
