Meet the Trainer: Dana Cavalea

CEO, Major League Strength

TNP Athletes,

My name is Dana Cavalea. I am the Director of Strength and Conditioning of the New York Yankees, as well as the CEO of Major League Strength, a training company designed to enhance the athletic ability and lifestyle of youth baseball and softball players. Working with some of the best athletes in the game has given me a unique coaching perspective, which I'll deliver to the Under Armour Community in a fun, easy-to-understand, results-driven way.

As you've read before, this is The New Prototype of Training...brought to you by Under Armour. Under Armour has taken the time to bring the best Sports Performance Training specialists together to create an elite Council on training that will deliver high octane programming, exercise selection, and most importantly increased ability on the playing field. If you're an athlete and you're serious about your sport(s), then the time to get better is NOW!

After being presented the opportunity to be a part of the Under Armour TNP Training Council, my answer was an obvious YES. I knew partnering with the Brand that has revolutionized the way athletes think about athletic apparel---and now footwear---would give me the chance to deliver quality content and outcomes to a hungry audience of the best athletes in the world.

Within this revolutionary program, athletes will have a chance to learn the same skills and drills that professional athletes use in order to dominate the game, and control the opposition utilizing Speed, Power, and Evade. This triple threat is what leads to greatness, and greatness is what all athletes should strive for.

Once again I am extremely excited to play an active part on this team, and look forward to posting entries about advances in training that will help take an athlete’s game to the next level both on and off the field. Performance is not a sometimes thing, it’s an all the time thing. We need to teach athletes how to perform on and off the field, both physically and mentally. TNP athletes dominate the mental to control the physical, so they train the mind and body together for a 1-2 punch. Dreams are meant to be reached, so lock it in and be ready to challenge your biggest dream. If you're into getting ahead, staying motivated, and breaking personal bests, keep reading the blog. And remember: The Future is Ours!
