Never Be Overlooked Again.
Sports performance training in Frederick, MD for athletes who are done being passed over and are ready to compete at their next level.
Maybe your athlete is working hard but still getting passed over.
Maybe they've been told they're too small, too slow, or just not quite ready.
Maybe you've watched them put in the work and wonder why the results aren't showing up yet.
Here's what we've learned after years of coaching athletes in Frederick:
They don't have a talent problem. They've never had the right coach.
When the right coach believes in your athlete…
EVERYTHING CHANGES
Chase DeLauter walked into Crucible in 2018 as a lightly recruited, undersized, undervalued ballplayer. A lot of people had already counted him out.
We never did.
We saw what was there. We built a plan around it. We coached him the right way, developed him as a complete athlete, and believed in him when the outside world wasn't sure.
In 2022, the Cleveland Guardians selected Chase 16th overall in the 1st Round of the MLB Draft.
Chase was always capable of that. He just needed a place that saw it first.
That is what we do here. For every athlete who walks through our doors.
