Kyle Larsen, President of the Washington Athletics Baseball club, announced today that the organization is partnering with Maximum Sports Conditioning for the team’s winter conditioning program. MaxSC has been hired on to provide conditioning each week for 60 minutes to the 13u, 14u, 15u, 16u, and 18u teams for the Monday and Tuesday practice sessions. Due to a special relationship and arrangement between the A’s and MaxSC, the training will be provided at the Washington A’s practice facility in Redmond.

This partnership is part of the continuing program initiatives set by the Washington A’s to provide the best baseball program in the Puget Sound area and is all part of the individual player fee, with no added costs.
Maximum Sports Conditioning is located in Bellevue and is owned and operated by Daniel Jahn, who was the former UW strength coach of Coaches Kyle, Keaton, and Joey. The Washington A’s are very fortunate to have this opportunity to bring DJ on board to bring his knowledge, passion, and dedication for baseball specific strength and conditioning to all the players of the baseball organization. He is the best at what he does and it will be exciting to see how much the players will benefit from him and his custom tailored program.
