Summer baseball camps are everywhere these days. There are local high school camps, college camps, academy camps, etc. And depending on your needs and goals, these can be a good fit. For example, if you’re a 13- or 14-year-old trying to make a high school team next year, you might want to get in front of your future high school coaches. If you’re a high school player interested in a specific college, attending their camp and getting a feel for the campus and coaching staff can be a good idea. (Word of warning: Many times, college baseball camps are a fundraiser for the volunteer coaches, and the major decision makers aren’t there. One way to know is to simply ask, “Will the pitching coach or recruiting coordinator be involved?”) If, however, you are a serious baseball pitcher and you have a specific goal to gain velocity, improve your command, develop your secondary pitches, and/or maximize your arm health and recovery, then the Texas Baseball Ranch® is the place for you this summer. We have two options for you. 1: Our 3-Day Elite Pitchers Boot Camp is the best choice if you want to squeeze in as much information as possible in a short amount of time. This is what we recommend if you are new to the Ranch. 2. The Summer Intensive Program is perfect if you are looking to take your performance to the next level. You can choose to stay from 2–10 weeks and really put your nose to the grindstone during your stay. TBR’S TRAINING Often Copied, Never Duplicated
Each experience offers a holistic approach to your training and development. After a series of initial assessments (including an upper
and lower body video analysis,
a pain audit, a recovery audit, and the BRAT movement assessment), your program will be hyper-personalized to focus on your specific needs and performance constraints. The development of a complete baseball athlete is critical, so each participant will take part in our skill-specific strength development and explosiveness training. You will also experience our powerful mindset presentations. It is important that you develop physically and mentally. When combined, your performance can skyrocket. Our events are world-renowned as the gold standard among summer camps. Information and registration can be found at www.TexasBaseballRanch.com/events, or you can call us at (936) 588-6762. We’re excited to have you join us in Montgomery, Texas, this summer!
DO SOMETHING BETTER IN THE GARDEN 3 Ways to Improve Your Harvest
found in nature — trees grow at the top, shrubs and bushes are below, and other small plants and vines intermingle within. Choose crops that help each
There’s something beautiful about cultivating your own harvest, but you can grow more than simple backyard vegetables. Help your garden “grow up” by trying something unique this spring.
other grow (like corn, beans, and squash), and offer aid to your garden without digging up too much soil or disturbing its natural process. Permaculture gardening requires thoughtful planning, but once your crops are in place, nature will take its course. PLANT FOR YOUR HEALTH Mass production of your favorite fruits and vegetables reduces their key nutrients. Instead, choose fresh, home-grown varieties to yield greater health benefits. This is good news for those living with heart disease, joint disorders, or other chronic conditions. You can grow a garden chock full of nutrient-rich foods! Colorful fruits, root veggies, onions, and beans are great for joint health, while leafy greens can boost heart health. Grow pumpkins so you can harvest the seeds for better brain function, while berries can support your liver.
GROW FUN FOODS We plant gardens for a purpose, so why not make it fun! Plant fresh basil, tomatoes, onions, peppers, oregano, and more to create a garden worthy
of your next homemade pizza. All you will need to buy is the crust! Pumpkin plants can offer fresh gourds for any Halloween fanatic, while new species of fruits and vegetables can create an exciting home-cooking experience. Try the silver cucumber for a sweet taste or pineberries for a mix between strawberries and pineapples. You just might find a new flavor you love. GO WITH THE FLOW Creating a year-round garden that practically takes care of itself means using principles of permaculture, a philosophy of working with, rather than against, nature. Start by analyzing your space and yard. Determine your soil type and layer mulch or cover crops to protect it. Then, begin planting the same way that’s
