Blizzard Performance Center Testimonials
 
Here is what some of the players and parents have had to say about our Blizzard Performance Program ...
 
"It was a great experience to develop not only as a (baseball) player but as an athlete with trainers who WANT to make you better."
  • Joe Longo, D1 2021 Blizzard Grad | Michigan catcher (2022 Regionals)
"It was awesome to have the best trainers to push you to do your best as well as share valuable information on lifting, exercises and getting better everyday."
  • Trent Burkhlater, JC 2021 Blizzard Grad | Kirkwood (2022 JC World Series)
"It was fun being around other athletes and having someone who pushed me and could get better with every day."
  • Ben Vujovich, D1 2021 Blizzard Grad | St. Thomas
"Getting in the weight room has always been the difference maker for high level athletes. To have the Training HAUS and TCO a part of this is special. With an expanded weight room this year, our Blizzard Performance program is going to go to a new level."
  • Adam Barta, Owner, Blizzard Baseball Academy
"Hi Coach!
 
I just wanted to say thank you. Jack is playing varsity baseball for White Bear this year as a sophomore and I believe it has a LOT to do with playing Blizzard the last couple of years. Not only playing baseball, but all of the other stuff that comes with it.
 
But I honestly think that the weight training program with Mason was the difference maker. That program prepared Jack to play high school basketball this past winter and definitely allowed him to break into the varsity lineup this spring for baseball.
 
I'm certain he will lift with Mason again once the timing is right. Anyway, I wanted to say thank you for running a great program! Have a great rest of the week!"
