This year, we saw a noticeable increase in athletes inquiring about in-season training. I’d like to think that after years of emphasizing it, people are finally starting to understand: in-season training works. Period.

These programs include two full-body, compound training days per week, along with core stability, soft tissue work, and mobility. The goal is simple… give athletes the physical foundation they need to stay strong, explosive, and athletic throughout the entire season.

This season, I also began sharing performance data from athletes who consistently train at least twice per week. By posting current metrics alongside year-over-year comparisons, we’re reinforcing just how impactful consistent work can be, and what’s possible because of it.

Justin Diez

Post University commit Justin Diez is a senior at Paramus Catholic and a member of our 17U RPP Revolution travel team. He joined us this past fall after being referred by several current RPP athletes already training in our program.

From the moment I met Justin, it was clear he was ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work. His work ethic immediately stood out to our coaching staff and continues to serve as an example for the other athletes training here at RPP.

Justin entered the season having added 14 pounds of lean muscle during the off-season (168 to 182 pounds), and that work is already translating on the field. His first-half season stats below are a direct reflection of that commitment:

- Batting average up to .422 vs .270 prior year
- Slugging up .489 vs .317 prior year
