You are only as strong as your weakest link! - Do you know yours?
To know your weakest link is to know where you need to focus your training for maximum return. Knowing where the athletic package needs to be strengthened is critical if you are dedicated to performing at your highest level.
The NPA Athletic Assessment Program (AAP) can not only help you zero in on your weak links, but will help you train to remove deficiencies in your athleticism. The NPA has leveraged its partnerships to create an assessment program that will not only identify your weakest links, but will help you train to make them strengths.

Not a pitcher? Are you a position player? Do you compete in another sport?
The NPA has an Athletic Assessment Program for baseball position players, as well as athletes of other sports. The AAP is for any athlete that wants maximum gain through knowledge of their need to improve. Throwers, strikers, runners, you name it. Baseball position players, quarterbacks, footballers, soccer players, you name it. If you compete, you should get with the Program!

Do your Pitching Mechanics CHANGE with each type of pitch!?
Using our state-of-the-art 3D motion analysis at the NPA Performance Lab in San Diego, we are able to capture different deliveries from the same pitcher and overlay them for comparison. The white skeleton is this pitcher's FASTBALL; the gold skelton is his CHANGE-UP. See any differences? Which view shows more inconsistencies? What pitcher wouldn't want to know that changes in his mechanics are 'telling' the batter what pitch to expect? Do you know? There's only one way to know...an NPA BioMechanical Efficiency assessment from the NPA Performance Lab as part of our Peak Performance Package.
