We are proud the introduce the UBC Baseball Department of Player Performance! The Department of Player Performance is a branch of the UBC Baseball organization. It encompasses all aspects of player development including assessments, training, research, and sport performance recommendations. We leverage technology, data analysis, and evidence-based methods to inform our training and to better understand what each athlete is capable of so they can work to reach their full potential.
Why did we create it?
Baseball is changing. The amount of technology and information being used for player development at the professional, college, and high school levels is more than ever before. Organizations across North America are implementing new developmental approaches and players throughout all levels are benefiting considerably. Coaches are able to gain a better understanding of a player’s strengths and weaknesses and it allows them to develop the best plan of action going forward. As our organization continues to rapidly grow, we found that we needed a way to ensure that all of the players training with us are provided with the right information to grow and progress in the sport of baseball. Our goal is to educate players and coaches and to provide them with knowledge and resources to enhance the development process.
Who did we create it for?
We created it for the player that wants more. Little league to the professional level, every player can benefit from a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses as well as other aspects of development that are key to baseball performance.
