WELCOME SMOKE PITCHING/MENTAL PERFORMANCE

SMOKE Pitching and Mental Performance was founded by Wes Milburn. "Coach" Wes has developed this program through years of playing, coaching and instructing. There is NOBODY who does what we do at SMOKE. Simply put, we teach the body and mind to perform at their highest levels with training that was developed and designed to maximize potential both physically and mentally. We attack the mental part of the game as aggressively as the physical part. SMOKE builds COMPLETE pitchers of all ages and all levels through POSITIVE energy and reinforcement. If you know Coach Wes you know he is bringing the POSITIVE ENERGY! We intentionally keep the number at 30 full members and 30 additional Annual Members in order to maximize development by keeping numbers down. The SMOKE formula consists of 3 individual programs meant to build upon each other to prepare for the season ahead. The programs are designed so when the season starts you are FULLY ready. You can also choose individual program that fits your needs best! Coach Wes will be running his program at THE COMPOUND!

John Sullivan Hitting is dedicated to providing each of our hitters with individual style programs. We execute that by using tools that simply eliminates the guessing. The facility is equipped with Rapsodo, Blast Motion, HiTrax, and OnForm to assist with the process. 

We are the only facility in the city that offers monthly hitting memberships. Our athletes will get a choice of memberships listed on the membership tab. Two of our experts will be in house at all times to assist with player development. Each Athlete will have access to all data captured so they can follow their progress along the way. Our space has multiple Blast Motion stations that will include sensors and Ipads. Rapsodo/HiTrax cages come with multiple big screen TVs for instant feedback . These will all be used to build our athletes profiles and create motivation to continue to grow.  While we provide technology to help, our staffs #1 goal is getting to know each athlete and what makes them go!
