Ryden is heading to Iowa Western to continue his baseball career!

Ryden earned First Team All-State honors as a pitcher this past season while also playing outfield.

During his time training at OC, he made some big gains.

He added 20 pounds.
Dropped .30 off his standing-start 40yard sprint.
Improved his vertical by almost 7 inches.

That’s a lot of progress in strength, speed, and explosiveness.

More than that, Ryden was just a great kid to have in the gym. He worked hard, smiled a lot, and made training fun.

We’re excited to see what he does next.

Congrats, Ryden!!

From middle school training to college track and field.

Cole has been with OC Sports Performance for years, and it’s been fun to watch the work add up.

Now he’s headed to Linfield, where he found a great fit both academically and athletically.

He’ll compete in the shot put and hammer, coming off a huge high school career:

2026 IMC Shot Put Champion
School record holder in Shot Put
2nd in school history in Discus
6th in school history in Javelin

That kind of progress comes from years of consistent training, getting stronger, improving power, and continuing to build as an athlete.

We’ll miss having Cole in the gym, but we’re excited to see what he does at the next level.

Congrats, Cole!

Speed and athletic development don’t start in high school.

The foundation is built much earlier.

Young athletes need opportunities to sprint, jump, throw, climb, push, pull, and learn how to control their body.

As they get older, the training should progress with them.

More structure.
More strength.
More force production.
More speed.

But the basics still matter.

One of the biggest mistakes we see is waiting too long to teach athletes how to move fast and produce force—or going the other direction and making training too complicated too early.

Good youth sports performance training should match the athlete’s age, maturity, training history, and ability.
It should also be measurable.

At OC Sports Performance, we track sprint speed, jumping, strength, and other performance markers so we know whether the training is actually working.

Because if you’re not testing, you’re guessing.

Save this for the parent or coach who wants to understand how young athletes should actually be developed.

The right training environment can change how an athlete develops.

College football player Cutler shares why he chose OC Sports Performance over other gyms.

For him, it came down to the coaching.

The encouragement.
The accountability.
The expectation to keep getting better.

And a program built around the qualities that actually carry over to the field: speed, strength, power, and athleticism.

That means sprinting with intent.
Getting stronger over time.
Developing more force and explosiveness.

And having coaches who know when to push, when to adjust, and how to keep athletes moving forward.

Build better athletes.

A great next step for a great kid.

Zach was looking for a school where he could earn his engineering degree and keep play baseball, and we’re stoked he found that fit at Lawrence Tech in Michigan.

Inside the gym, Zach has always been one of those athletes who just works.

Consistent. Coachable. Competitive.

He’s also put up some pretty serious numbers along the way, including a 40-inch standing vertical jump.

That kind of explosiveness doesn’t happen by accident.

It comes from years of strength training, sprinting, jumping, and putting quality work in week after week.

That’s what sports performance training is really about.
Build strength. Build power. Improve athleticism. Then give those qualities time to develop.

We’re excited to see what Zach does next, both in baseball and in the classroom!

Gavin has been training with us at OC Sports Performance since middle school, and it’s been pretty awesome to watch him grow up in the gym.

Over the years, we’ve seen him get stronger, more confident, more mature, and continue to improve as an athlete.

This summer we got to watch him pitch right here in Bend for the Elks, and this spring he’ll head to Pitt State to continue his baseball career.

These are the stories we love. Years of showing up, putting in the work, and sticking with the process.

We’re excited to keep following Gavin and see what he does at the next level.

Strong shoulders aren’t built by doing the same pull-up every week.

We rotate close-grip, wide-grip, and weighted pull-ups to build strength through different positions and develop more vertical pulling power.

Here, Evan is working weighted pull-ups to build the upper-body strength and capacity that carries over to both football and baseball.

But vertical pulling is only part of the equation.

We pair pull-ups with horizontal pulling movements like rows so athletes develop strength across multiple planes, keep the shoulders and upper back strong, and build a more complete foundation for long-term performance.

For athletes, the goal isn’t just to get better at pull-ups. It’s to build a body that can produce force, handle the demands of sport, and stay healthy through a long season.

Building strength that actually supports the athlete.
