CP Week-In-Review
With the baseball season in full-swing, and the collegiate baseball schedules wrapping up in the coming weeks, things are beginning to get exciting around CP. As it turns out, the “quiet time of year” at our facility has been not-so-quiet after all in 2013…and we love it!
Here’s a look at some of the news & highlights relating to CP for the past seven days:
Successful Seminar — From April 19-21st, we hosted the most recent installment of the Elite Training Workshops. The good people from the Fitness Consulting Group lined up an impressive panel of speakers, including our own Eric Cressey and Tony Gentilcore, and the event seemed to be a great success. Thank you to all who attended.
Team USA Opportunity — Following in the steps of Tim Collins (Pan-Am Games / WBC) and Steve Cishek (WBC), long-time CP athlete Tyler Beede was selected to the Team USA Collegiate Baseball summer roster. Ty passed on a summer in the Cape in ’12 in favor of a ton of hard work in the gym here at CP, and it appears to have paid off in the form of a 10-0 record at Vanderbilt University along with the prestigious honor of representing his country. Article
Summer Baseball Considerations — Along those same lines, Eric published a 3,000+ word piece discussing the factors that should be considered when deciding on summer baseball plans at a collegiate level. This is a thought-provoking article that all members of the CP-Baseball Family will appreciate. Read it!
