Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Is This An Open Access Membership?
Not at all! Our training is about hands-on guidance and instruction every step of the way. Sometimes the term "membership" makes families think it is open access, no instruction, and athletes on their own to get better. That is the complete opposite of what our membership is about. It's about the athletes being consistent to their training and a part of the system 24/7.
Question 2: Why Group Training?
We believe in our competitive training environment and culture. Athletes should be competing and working with athletes chasing common goals. This allows them to push each other, learn from each other, and fail in front of each other to build mental toughness. Although our membership is a small group setting, each athlete is getting INDIVIDUALIZED instruction and programming based on their needs. They just follow our hitting program and cage environments in small groups of 2-4 athletes.
Question 3: What If I Want 1 on 1 Instruction For My Athlete?
1 on 1 Memberships are available BUT there are a few things to note: They are our most expensive option. It is only for older athletes typically. Athletes must be committed long term. (Most current 1 on 1 members are training a MINIMUM of 6 months). We only offer a select amount per coach.
Question 4: How Does The Payment Work?
Our Membership is a monthly subscription. You are training weekly in-house, programmed on our Training App for drills / programs to work on in between sessions, and the monthly payment can be cancelled at anytime. This style is to lock in athletes for at least 4 sessions to see real growth. We don't believe in one-off lessons and want athletes committed to the process. That is why our training is styled this way.
Question 5: How Does Scheduling Work Once My Athlete Is A Member?
Everything goes through our Training App. We have several slots for Hitting Groups & Strength Training Groups daily. Athletes can easily see the weekly schedule, see how many open slots there are for each group, and sign up for the time that works best for them. We know families have busy schedules so we make it easy for athletes to have many different options each week or they can lock in the same time each week to fit their schedule. If families go on vacation or have to miss a week for some reason, we can easily push the recurring charge date up a week so you're not eating the cost of a weekly session not attended.
Testimonials
"Dave is a great problem solver. He really understands the swing, but more importantly, he is great at finding what is best for each hitter. He always helps me get locked in and understand what I need to execute in the box."
DELINO DESHIELDS JR.
7 Year MLB Veteran
"The way that Dave communicates the swing is what stands out to me. He always helps me get locked in during the offseason and also refine my swing throughout the season. I know I can always rely at him to look at my swings and find solutions for me. The guy is a beast!"
MAX BURT
Detroit Tigers Organization
"Dave is very committed to his athletes at Zeal. The amount of gains I've made over the years are insane. He has instilled a ton of confidence in me to go out and perform. Working with him year round in-house or remotely when I'm at school has been a gamechanger."
NATE HALL
OF, Houghton University
"David is the hitting master! 5 years ago He helped me overhaul my swing from both sides at the plate and help me drive the ball better with more backspin. He got me back to the consistent power numbers I had earlier in my Minor League career. I get so excited to work with Dave every offseason before my Professional Season. He is the best!
KENNYS VARGAS
Former MLB, Current Mexico League All-Star
"David is a great communicator and has a great way of making complex ideas sound simple. He is great at building a plan around my individual needs. It's great to know he's just a call or text away during the season."
JAKE CAVE
Former MLB Veteran, Current Mexican League Star
"Training with Coach Dave at Zeal has completely transformed my career. I've gained muscle, gotten so much stronger, increased my exit velocity & bat speed, and just have become an overall better baseball player. Coach is a mentor that I know I can always go to for anything."
KAYDEN YAPJOCO
C, Finger Lakes CC
"Working with David over the years has been awesome. He will do anything to help you achieve your goals and make you better. Even when I am not at the facility training, I know I can reach out if I'm struggling and he will always respond and help me."
REID MARTIN
OF, SUNY Cortland
"Training remotely with David this offseason was the best you can get. His knowledge and ability to make small adjustments for big results has been impactful. I needed someone to work together with this offseason and it's been a great investment into my game."
