What We Do During Our Baseball Leadership Programs
Classroom Sessions
We take mentoring beyond the field, building a solid foundation of strong work ethic, forming leadership habits, and forging lifelong connections.
Leadership
Being ELiTE is a mindset, it takes courage to put yourself out there for others to judge.
We focus on creating an environment of self-awareness, mental preparedness, and encouragement for our athletes.
They will become more equipped to instill our ELiTE culture onto others, not only in the dugout but also in their communities.
