What We Do
Over the last six years we've not only improved an athletes numbers (vertical, agility, upper/lower body strength, speed, etc..), but given them the tools necessary to be successful on the field of play. At APS we combine strength, power, and speed development to build a complete athlete. What sets us a part from other performance centers is our attention to detail. We make sure every rep is perfect to create the necessary kinesthetic muscle memory to transfer to our athletes respective sport. Whether your goal is to increase vertical leap, out run your opponent, or just have an injury free season, Athletic Performance Specialists is your answer. We work with elite travel baseball teams, local high schools, collegiate athletes, semi-pros, and average athletes looking to improve their game. Contact us now to inquire about our pricing packages and how to make a difference in your athletic career.
