TBR’S ELITE PITCHERS BOOT CAMP The Gold Standard
Now is the time of year many athletes join us for an Elite Pitchers Boot Camp to make sure they’re best prepared for the upcoming 2024 season. We host one every month from October through February. If you or someone you know wants to travel to Texas to participate in this incredible event, don’t delay. Besides, the fall and winter are the best times to be in southeast Texas.
The Texas Baseball Ranch ® is the country’s top baseball pitching training facility, and our Elite Pitchers Boot Camps are easily the gold standard of pitching camps. It’s much more than just a simple camp: It’s an event! It’s an experience! It’s something that you leave knowing you made a great decision when it comes to the investment of your time and resources. Now more than ever, an individualized, hyper-personalized approach to pitching development is critical to catch up or surpass your competitive peer group. At the Texas Baseball Ranch, that is our entire focus: helping YOU with what you need and designing YOUR personal plan. Nobody does it better. Others try, but it’s just not the same. We simply have better systems, people, and culture for training
pitchers. The Texas Baseball Ranch is a serious program for serious people who want serious results. Check out what these families had to say about their recent Ranch experience: “The Baseball Ranch is so much more than a ‘pitching camp.’ It is a respite from the ‘noise’ of Twitter, travel ball, etc. Coach Wolforth, his wife Jill, and his knowledgeable staff are a well of wisdom in pitching, movement patterns, and life generally. Their positive and encouraging energy was truly a blessing to me and my family.”

EMPOWER YOUR TEEN WITH FITNESS GOALS A Parent’s Role in Creating Healthy Habits
Countless adults struggle to set fitness goals, so it shouldn’t be surprising that many teens don’t know where to start either. Parents can be a critical source of motivation and support for young adults as they create healthy habits. Whether your teen is a natural-born sports star or a bit of a couch potato, you can help them be more purposeful about exercise and fitness. The process begins by discovering what drives them. If your teen is already active, ask what they enjoy and what goals they have for themselves. For those more reluctant to break a sweat, discuss whether they’re happy with their fitness level. Are they satisfied with their current level of activity? Do they think it will continue serving them well as they age? But even more important than their goals is their motivation. We only achieve something with a compelling reason to drive us. Whether your teen’s goal is strength, weight loss, endurance, or something else, ask why it matters to them. Don’t be surprised if your teen’s motivations center around their looks — after all, we live in a very appearance-conscious society. But you can both acknowledge the pressure to look a certain way
while reminding your kids that their health is more important. Many reasons to exercise focus on avoiding negative emotions like insecurity, so help your teen flip their perspective and concentrate on how they want to feel in the future. Your teen probably won’t stop caring about how they look in bathing suits, but having these conversations is crucial. Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable time for developing eating disorders, so discourage calorie-counting or obsessive exercise. If you are concerned about your child’s relationship with food or fitness, you should speak with their doctor. Ideally, the focus should be on the benefits of physical activity. Talk about the reasons you make time to exercise. And if you don’t move as much as you should, see if your teen would be interested in joining you in becoming fit together. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s relationship with fitness. Help them understand the lifelong advantages of being active so that the habits they create now follow them well into adulthood.
