Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Why Membership instead of One-Off Lessons?
We don't believe in quick fixes or only getting lessons once in a while. The best ballplayers are committed to consistent work and dedication. Our model follows that. A month on our membership locks you in to at least 4 sessions with our staff to help see results. You can cancel whenever, but we want to guarantee that you stick to the program at least a month.
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.
Question 4: How Does The Payment Work?
Our Membership is a monthly payment. You are charged 30 days after your first training day in-house. If for some reason you need to miss a week, we can push your payment one week very easily. This gives you high level player development on a monthly subscription.
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.
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
MLB Veteran, Tampa Bay Rays Organization
"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."
