Individualized at KPI – An Unmatched System that Delivers
“Individualized training” has become the trendiest marketing phrase in the sports performance world. Everyone claims they do it. Every facility says it’s their differentiator. But ask the simple question —
How?
Ask what systems they actually use. Ask what data drives it. Ask what expertise backs it.
The truth is uncomfortable for most of the industry:
Real individualization is complex. It requires technology, expertise, and a system that can adapt every single day.
That’s why at KPI, we don’t oversell buzzwords.
We don’t talk about “hyper-individualization” because the term itself is meaningless without structure.
What we do is far more powerful:
We’ve built a system that allows every athlete to receive individualized decisions — every session — based on real data, real assessments, and real expertise.
While other programs “assess an athlete once,” we are effectively assessing every athlete, every day, because our technology-driven system pulls new information continuously. And that constant stream of information shapes how we coach, how we program, and how athletes progress.
This is individualization at scale — the KPI way.
STRENGTH: Data-Driven Programming That Evolves Every Week
Strength training is easy to market and hard to individualize. Most places still run cookie-cutter programs with minimal data to justify their decisions.
At KPI, our strength system starts and ends with objective measurement. Our investment into Hawkin Dynamics Force Plates allows us to evaluate the nervous system, asymmetries, power output, and fatigue patterns in ways a coach cannot see with the naked eye.
– Force plates give us real-time insight into:
– How an athlete produces force
– Whether they’re more elastic or strength dominant
– Fatigue and readiness
– Asymmetries or red flags
– The best training intervention for that exact athlete
Each athlete is placed into one of several CNS-driven training buckets, and we monitor their progress every week. Every 4 weeks, we evaluate each monthly report and we decide whether to progress, adjust, or rewrite their programming.
And because injuries, school demands, and fatigue fluctuate, our system allows us to make changes instantly — not “next month.”
This is not guesswork.
This is not one-time assessment.
This is continuous, data-led decision making.
This is why KPI athletes move better, stay healthier, and get stronger with fewer setbacks.
HITTING: Objective Swing Profiling + Precision Skill Work
We’ve spent years testing hitting systems, biomechanics tools, sensor tech, and skill acquisition models. What we’ve landed on is a proprietary, data-verified hitting system that blends technology and CLA (Constraints Led Approach) into a unified developmental model.
Every KPI hitter is evaluated on the swing metrics that matter most. Using:
– Blast sensors for pre-contact swing traits
– HitTrax + Trackman for contact quality and batted ball outcomes
– Advanced strength systems like Proteus and Keiser to improve rotational acceleration
Every two weeks, hitters are placed into updated “buckets,” each representing a specific mechanical or movement focus. Their drills, front toss environments, and batting practice constraints are individualized to reflect the movement pattern they need most.
Weekly hitting reports show:
– Improvements
– Stagnation
– Regression
– Immediate corrective strategies
Hitters don’t just “take reps” at KPI — they take purposeful, individually assigned reps that address the lowest-hanging fruit in their development profile.
This is deliberate practice.
This is individualization backed by measurement.
This is how hitters build real tools that scale.
PITCHING: Multi-Layered Individualization Built on Technology and Context
Pitching is the most complex skill in baseball — and the most dangerous to oversimplify.
At KPI, individualization begins with one foundational truth:
Pitchers are unique and should be approached with an objective approach to training, throwing, and arm care.
We use time of year, workload, recovery profiles, ArmCare data, and athlete-specific goals to determine whether a pitcher is in:
– Maintenance
– Velocity development
– On-ramp
– Skill acquisition
– Command & pitch design focus
– Live AB preparation
For example:
Many of our high level pitchers logged heavy innings during their high school seasons and had demanding summer schedules. Our individualized solution?
A maintenance phase — not more velocity training — to protect their health and manage cumulative fatigue.
Pitchers with lower workloads?
They were placed into different throwing phases that emphasized velocity, movement pattern refinement, or pitch design — whichever their data indicated they needed most.
We then layer in technology:
– Trackman for pitch shape, profile, and pitch design decision-making
– High-speed Edgertronic cameras for movement pattern evaluation
– Newt Force Mound for the most advanced mound-side biomechanics data available anywhere on the West Coast
The result:
A pitching system that individualizes every aspect of a pitcher’s development — workload, movement pattern, pitch design, strength profile, arm care, recovery, and competitive preparation.
THE KPI DIFFERENCE: Individualization Every Session
Most places perform a one-time assessment and call it “individualized training.”
At KPI, the assessment never stops.
– Every session produces new data.
– Every new data point informs individualized decisions.
– Every individualized decision pushes the athlete forward.
This is why KPI athletes develop faster.
This is why they stay healthier.
This is why college coaches recruit from this system.
This is why parents trust these results.
Because individualization isn’t a buzzword here —
it’s the backbone of our entire system.
FINAL THOUGHTS: Ask Better Questions
Anyone can say they individualize.
But only a few can explain how.
– Ask what systems they use.
– Ask what data drives the decisions.
– Ask how often they reassess.
– Ask whether athletes are bucketed, tracked, and progressed with intention.
And ask whether the staff has the expertise to interpret the data and apply it correctly.
At KPI, our commitment to individualization is ongoing, evolving, and validated every day. It is the reason our athletes progress year after year — and the reason our system is becoming the standard for baseball development.
