Greetings,

It’s been another year of wonderful success for many of our clients. We have now worked with athletes in seven professional and 13 amateur sports. We’ve also worked with a few musicians.

Following are a few of the success stories from baseball. I am not at liberty to use some client’s names.

Philip Humber–Pitcher-Chicago White Sox:

In four call ups to the Major Leagues prior to Zone Training, Philip had a 1.82 WHIP (walks and hits to innings pitched) and a 1.11 to 1 K-BB ratio. (strikeout to walk ratio)

In the past two seasons combined following Zone Training, his WHIP was 1.19 and he had a 2.75 to 1 K-BB ratio.
