Player Assessment

Before We Build the Plan, We Understand the Player.

Martin's development process starts with a thorough video and conversation-based assessment. No assumptions. No generic programs.

The First Step Is Understanding Exactly Where Your Son Is.

Every player who starts with Martin goes through an initial assessment before any program work begins. This is how Martin understands the player's mechanics, tendencies, goals, and mindset, and how he designs a development plan that's actually specific to that kid.

  • Video review of recent game or training footage
  • Mechanical analysis of swing, approach, or position-specific skills
  • Parent and player conversation about goals and history
  • Written assessment summary delivered within 48 hours
  • Remote video assessment available, parents can submit game or practice footage and receive a full written mechanical breakdown from Martin within 48 hours, no in-person visit required.
  • Martin will come to your son's game. For players in the program, Martin personally attends live games to observe, video, and assess performance in a real competitive environment, because what happens in games is the only thing that truly matters.

Measurable Growth

Every Athlete Is Assessed. Every Result Is Measured.

Martin doesn't guess at progress. Every player starts with a baseline assessment and is measured again at the end of their program cycle. The improvement isn't just felt, it's documented.
