WHY most pitchers never reach their potential

Most athletes spend countless hours practicing, taking lessons, and competing in games. While those are all important parts of development, many players never follow a structured plan designed specifically for them. Without identifying what is limiting performance, athletes often continue doing more of the same while seeing little change in velocity, movement quality, or overall athletic development. At ElevateU, we start by identifying the athlete’s individual needs and then build a plan to help them improve with purpose.

How it Works

 ongoing coaching & feedback

Athletes submit videos of their throwing mechanics, training, and movement assessments along with information about their goals, training history, and current performance.

After reviewing the athlete’s videos and assessment, we create an individualized throwing and strength program designed around their specific needs.

Athletes submit videos throughout training for continued feedback, coaching, and program adjustments to ensure they continue progressing.

Real Development. Real Results.

“My son has been training with Elevate U since 2021, and the progress has been remarkable. Ryan blends technology, strength training, and sound mechanics to deliver real results. The structured membership has been a tremendous value for our family.”

"Ryan Hayes (ElevateU) has given both of our boys a huge advantage at the plate. He is patient and thoughtful with his feedback. Each session builds on the last to work towards a shared vision. He utilizes a perfect balance of technology and personal knowledge to bring an additional dimension to their game. We would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their skills above and beyond what can be accomplished through team practice alone."

- Michael and Kerri Ward

"Our son has been taking private lessons for batting/fielding/pitching with Coach Ryan weekly
for over 2 years and has improved tremendously with his coaching. He breaks down the
mechanics in way that is easy to understand and incorporates immediate video feedback. Along
with Hit Traks technology, our son is able to improve with quantifiable metrics. We have seen
real results on game day. We owe a lot of our son’s success to Coach Ryan."
