I launched Carolina Combine in September 2022 with a clear mission: to build a product that meets athletes' needs, helps them achieve their goals, and reinforces essential values like dedication, hard work, and commitment. Here are a few of our 2-year achievements:

Our Two-Year Milestones | Over 150 athletes have undergone comprehensive performance testing. The Agile Athlete Program (AAP) boasts a 100% "Extremely Satisfied" rating from parents. Carolina Combine t-shirts have become a recognizable symbol across our region.

Getting Results | Athletes are getting impressive performance improvements across the board. On average, athletes have shown a 10.73% increase in broad jump distance, 2.95% in vertical jump height, 0.85% in Pro Agility, and 2.53% in 40-yard sprint times.

Looking Ahead | We're committed to continually enhancing our offerings. Our plans include refining our existing products, introducing new services based on customer feedback, and forming partnerships with organizations to better prepare athletes for their upcoming seasons.

Roger Federer, one of the greatest athletes of our time, delivered a commencement address at Dartmouth that offers valuable insights for athletes. His achievements and mindset set a high standard. Here are 3 key takeaways from his speech:

1. Effortless is a myth - Work tirelessly behind the scenes to make your performance look effortless. Remember, success is built on grit, discipline, and patience—not just raw talent.
2. It’s only 1 point - In tennis, as in life, hard work doesn't guarantee success, and losses are inevitable. However, Federer's philosophy teaches us to learn from setbacks, maintain confidence in our abilities, and always commit fully to the next opportunity, remembering that “negative energy is wasted energy.”
3. Life is bigger than the court - Tennis can open doors to global experiences, but it shouldn't define your entire world. Embrace the sport's lessons, cherish diverse connections, and strive to make a positive impact beyond the court while staying true to your roots.

Our 🔗 Physical Preparation Framework uses the same concepts as MLB players and high-level athletes, is designed to teach and reinforce values, develop consistent routines, and integrate skill drills. It includes a structured warm-up, throwing program, and agility exercises, focusing on technique and fundamentals. This science-based model is ideal for athletes looking to enhance their performance through disciplined and effective training sessions.
