“As parents of an aspiring baseball pitcher, we naturally had three concerns during his high school years: (1) that our son’s training regimen be tailored to the demands of playing baseball and more specifically, to pitching, (2) that the training regimen do him no harm, and (3) that our son’s trainers provide him with good counsel and be great role models for him both in and outside the gym.
Cressey Performance excelled in all three dimensions.
First, the trainers at Cressey devised an extremely intelligent training program for our son, which transformed him into D1 baseball-ready form. He received numerous compliments from his college coaches for being in great shape when he entered their PAC-10 program in the Fall.
Second, Cressey was very sensitive to assessing our son’s physical capacities and never pushed him, or allowed him to push himself, past that threshold. We are convinced that Cressey helped our son elude all kinds of injuries that are so common among untutored high school players.
Finally, the Cressey trainers provided our son with well-informed and eminently sensible advice and supported him strongly in the college recruitment process. He matured as part of the Cressey community, which led to improvements in everything from his diet to his study habits to his grades in school. Cressey enabled him to develop a mental toughness that he has had to draw on as he trains in a D1 program. The fact that Eric, Pete, Tony, and Brian (fondly known as the “Cressey Crew” to us!) are themselves young and “cool”, and are also extremely hard working and ambitious, helped a great deal. They became our son’s role models and much admired friends.
Our son worked with a number of professional trainers before Cressey, but none that came close to them in terms of professionalism or in helping him to realize his baseball dreams.”

“We feel very fortunate to have discovered Eric Cressey and the Cressey Performance Program. Our 13 yr old son suffered a knee injury last year requiring surgery and we all watched him agonize through a year of no pitching and no baseball. We made a decision to find the most advanced baseball strength & conditioning program around to guide his physical and mental conditioning that he might return to pitching and playing competitive baseball at a higher level without limitations.
Eric has developed a unique multi-dimensional approach to strength and conditioning for serious baseball athletes from high school prospects to MLB pro ball players. We’ve been most impressed with the quality of guidance, education and encouragement given to each athlete training at Cressey Performance. Our son understands the purpose of his individualized training program and is easily motivated by his continued progress and the encouragement he gets from Cressey Program instructors and the high school prospects and MLB pro athletes working out on the training room floor.
We feel he’s in the best hands with Eric and the Cressey Performance Program!”
