KMBA Winter Development Philosophy
• Provide post secondary preparation for athletes interested in pursuing a higher education.
• Provide each athlete with access to a fully certified sports performance professional (eg., strength training, speed training, mental skills training, and nutrition).
• Provide each athlete with life skills that go above and beyond baseball (eg., time management, leadership, goal setting, etc).
• Provide each athlete with the resources and opportunities to play at the next level.
