Athletics & Recruiting

​The Illinois Baseball Edge, Ltd. works with elite overhead throwing athletes 12-years old through the professional level using a personalized approach.  To deliver personalized training, we have to tailor our approach to YOUR unique needs. 

​

Our services are designed to create a baseline of where a player's current state (strength & mobility, velocity, control, etc.) and movement pattern begins, so that we can then demonstrate progress using player specific goals and development.  This is a key concept in that positive results should be both demonstrable and measurable for that individual player over time.  Once the baseline is understood, we create a plan that addresses your highest priority items. 

​

In any given year a player may need help with velocity, arm care, wake-up/warm-up, recovery, command, developing swing and miss "stuff", pitch design, or building a bigger motor through physical training and performance therapy.  These needs almost always change from season-to-season as players grow and develop throughout their career, which is why re-assessment is crucial. 

​

Our services are well positioned to adapt both to individual needs and to changes occurring in our sport over time.  Our company is dedicated to on-going continuing education for our staff to take advantage of breakthroughs as they occur in the areas of sports medicine, motor learning and skills acquisition, physical training, bio-mechanics, kinesiology, and coaching.
