Our Membership Services
At Zeal, we don't believe in what has become the norm in the baseball training sphere. It is mostly one-off lessons, typically right before the season or only when the athlete is feeling off. This creates a culture of athletes & families looking for quick fixes. We believe in COMPLETE development. That is why ALL athletes are placed on our training app for 24/7 Programming. We don't offer one-off lessons. While 1 on 1 training is available, spots are limited and athletes are encouraged to be in our high level group training environment. Athletes must make a MINIMUM 3 Month Commitment. Learn about some of the different aspects of our training below.
Weekly Hitting Instruction
If athletes are serious about playing at the next level, they need to be hitting consistently. Getting lessons only when you feel off isn't how you develop long term.
All athletes on our Membership hit WEEKLY and follow our Year-Round Hitting Program created by David Wessells. In addition every athlete is given a custom hitting plan for drills & movements to work on in between hitting sessions.
Sports Performance
With our Strength Training option, athletes can work directly with our Sports Performance coaches 3 days a week. Through our evaluation process our staff builds strength programs & nutrition programs around each athlete's needs.
Our strength training works hand in hand with our Hitting program so you can have the most comprehensive program all in one place. Save money and Bundle Hitting & Strength for one monthly cost.
Group Training
Our Membership is a Group Training Environment. We fully believe training in a group setting is better for athlete development.
Group training allows athletes to work with like-minded peers, learn from one another, and compete in every cage session. Groups range from 2-4 Athletes so each athlete can receive the individual attention their swing needs while working in a high level group environment.
Evaluation Process
All athletes will be taken through our in-depth evaluation process before beginning their training.
Evaluations include Functional Movement Screenings, Force Production testing, grip strength, and other categories for the Sports Performance side of development.
Hitting evaluations include Video Breakdowns, Ball Flight Metrics, and Swing Metrics to see where the athlete is at based on their age. Recurring Members are re-tested quarterly.
Training App
All athletes are placed on our state of the art training app. Their Custom Hitting plans are uploaded weekly on the app to give athletes a plan between hitting sessions in-house. In addition, their Sports Performance programming & Nutrition plans will be located on the app. This provides the 24/7 programming & communication with our coaches that athletes need.
1-on-1 Training
We do offer LIMITED 1-on-1 Memberships Spots. These are our most expensive package and is geared towards older athletes that can commit long term (Minimum 3 Months) and prefer individual sessions.
Athletes receive 1 Hour Session per week with David. Strength Training add-on is available without bundle.

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
New York Yankees 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."

JAKE CAVE
Former MLB Veteran, Current KBO 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

REID MARTIN
