Program Details

Scientific research suggests that it takes eight to twelve years of training for an athlete to reach elite levels. Unfortunately, too many coaches approach training with an attitude best characterized as the "win early and win often".

At The IMG Baseball Academy, our approach, "because we have the science to prove it", is a commitment to long-term athletic development, incorporating all aspects of training, development and management, which is the only proven route to elite status.

A specific and well planned training regime will ensure optimum development throughout a baseball player’s career and control the stress recovery cycle that leads to over training, major injuries and burnout. Ultimately, success is tied to training and performing well over the long-term rather than winning in the short-term. There are no short cuts to success in athletic preparation. Rushing development always results in shortcomings in physical, technical, tactical and mental abilities.

The uniqueness of The IMG Baseball Academy’s junior program can be defined in its periodization approach to the technical, tactical, mental and physical elements of training. Major emphasis is placed on developing individual baseball fundamentals both offensively and defensively. 

All students are required to participate in strength conditioning, flexibility, endurance, mental efficiency, nutritional performance programs conducted on campus by the International Performance Institute (IPI) and IMG Academies Mental Conditioning.
Developing confident, athletic individuals who thrive within a team environment and love to compete is the core goal of The Baseball Academy. Competition will be scheduled locally and regionally as warranted by the ability levels present within the program.
