Do you use VBT?

Yes we do.  We have more than a dozen VBT Push Band units in the facility which are utilized by our athletes all the time during strength training.  All of our programs have VBT metrics incorporated into the training.  We are big believers in VBT.

Do your strength training programs vary by age?

Yes they do.  Our strength programs fall into three different types:

    • Program Design athletes train in a somewhat independent, yet supervised setting.  You would need to be eligible and pre-approved for this program (requires complete upfront assessment)
    • Group setting of various sizes with strength coach at all times
    • Private one-on-one sessions (requires complete upfront assessment)

Here is also a summary by age group:

    • Ages 16 and older: Strength training with “Program Design” or private sessions
    • Ages 13-16: Strength training with strength coach coach, in private sessions or groups of no larger than 8 participants
    • Ages 10-12: Resistance training with strength coach, in private sessions or groups of no larger than 6 participants

We use a variety of tech in assessing and training our athletes.  Here is a brief summary:

In addition, we have developed several in-house proprietary software programs which fully integrate the various tech platforms into “one” which we use for programming purposes.

What does a typical day look like at RPP?

At typical day of training at RPP generally requires 2-3 hours at the facility.  You can think of it in four distinct parts:

    • Warm-up / Soft Tissue Work – The initial portion of your day could take 20-30 minutes
    • Hitting / Throwing – Working on your craft whether it’s hitting / throwing / pitching or doing related drill work could generally last around 60-75 minutes
    • Strength Training – Weight lifting portion of your day will take approximately 60-75 minutes
    • Recovery Work – Finishing your workout with recovery work will require approximately 15-20 minutes

Training with other high performance athletes in a culture that breeds excellence can also lend itself to hours of conversation and learning outside your specific training sessions.  Given the setting and culture, it would not be unusual for athletes to remain at the facility for many more hours than highlighted above.
