believes that by increasing the player's athletic skills coupled with improving the athlete's specific sports skills, a player can effectively compete at and beyond their current level of play. Charles Slavik's blend of experience as both a coach at virtually every level of baseball, combined with advanced and practical knowledge of the strength and conditioning field, allows him to provide the most effective program for players found anywhere.The training progression is to initially assess the athletes work capacity and general athletic skill level relative to their peer group. From there, Coach Slavik works together with the player to design an individualized training program, essentially a roadmap, to get the player from his current ability level to the level he sees himself at in his dreams. It's a team effort and Coach Slavik takes his client's success and future very seriously."Optimal physical conditioning provides the platform from which the skills can be used" - Dr. Fred Hatfield (World Renown Power Lifter also known as Dr. Squat).

Proper Conditioning + Sports Specific Training + Sports Skills Training = Success In sports like baseball, if you have the basic, fundamental athletic skills, you can be up to 16 years old before you start learning the technical aspects of the game itself and still reach your peak. It is easier to teach an athlete to play baseball than it is to teach a baseball player to be an athlete. Think Long-Term Athletic Development and not Short-Term Specialization. Sports Specific Training is a relatively new field. Athletes should never get their training information from someone new to the game or who views it as a niche market. In the same way a player needs to have both a great skill level and conditioning level coupled together to make a great player, a trainer needs a great background in both the sport and the strength and conditioning field. This allows the trainer to both properly understand the needs of the individual athlete relative to his sport and to effectively implement a program on the athletes behalf. To have one-half of this equation without the other, diminishes the effectiveness of the player, the trainer, and the training program. To view Charles Slavik's credentials as a trainer, Click Here. Don't short-change your son or daughter, get their training from a nationally recognized leader in the field. "Eagles fly higher than other birds - and they don't flock" "If you do what everyone else does - you'll go where everyone else goes" "Coaches and athletes need to use an average training program cautiously. Only average athletes, those who are far from excellent, prepare with average methods. A champion is not average, but exceptional."- Vladimir Zatsiorsky " " Only those who can see the invisible, can accomplish the impossible!" - Patrick Snow "A good coach will make you a better player, a great coach will make you a better person" "Much of what is "accepted" is just plain wrong and many with advanced degrees have merely studied that which is wrong in greater depth" -Charlie Francis "One of the great tragedies of life is the murder of a beautiful theory by a gang of brutal facts" - Benjamin Franklin "Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing" - Warren Buffett " A wise man makes his own decisions, an ignorant man follows the public opinion - Grantland Rice "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -George Bernard Shaw "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up" - Thomas Edison " What is important is not what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us." - Jean-Paul Sartre " Probability theory is nothing but common sense reduced to calculation." - Pierre-Simon LaPlace (1814) " From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." - Luke 12:48b " The race doesn't always go to the swiftest, nor the fight to the strongest, but by golly, that is the way to bet" - Grantland Rice " For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes - not that you won or lost - but how you played The Game - Grantland Rice " If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.- Hermann Hesse "It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt
