Happy Labor Day! I hope you all are enjoying the long weekend with friends and family. This is always a fun time of year at Cressey Sports Performance, as a lot of our minor league players are starting their off-seasons, and many of our high school athletes are getting back in the swing of their “true” off-season training. And, of course, we’ve got MLB playoff baseball coming up soon! I won’t digress too much, though; here are the goods!
