Pro Baseball Players Give Advice to Student Athletes on Jan. 8th

NorthCore Performance Training will be hosting a meet and greet with professional baseball players for local high school athletes on January 8th from 3:30-4:30pm at their center in shoreline.  Students will receive insight and advice on becoming a better player as well as community leader.

Travis Snider (Pittsburgh Pirates), Brent Lillibridge (Texas Rangers), Steven Souza (Washington Nationals), James Robbins (Detroit Tigers), Geoff Brown (LA Dodgers), and Pierce Rancin (Toronto Blue Jays) will be present at the meet and greet.  Each player has trained at NorthCore Performance and want to help students at this meet and greet understand how to achieve their goals. 

The players will be discussing practice type and volume, hitting and pitching, healthy diet, recruiting processes for college and the MLB draft, the importance of school, as well as how to be a good role model for the team and community.  There will also be an open Q & A session and a time for autographs.

Edmonds resident Jeff Millet, owner of NorthCore Performance, has been training professional athletes, student athletes, and others for six years in the Pacific Northwest.  

“I specialize in helping athletes achieve their full potential at my gym,” Jeff said. “I particularly love equipping young students with the tools to not only be a great athlete but also a well rounded person.  That’s one of the reasons I’m doing this event. I wanted to give students a chance to meet local professional athletes and see what it takes to get to the next level.”  

“Jeff really knows how to connect with these kids,” Leslie Longaker, parent of Millet’s student athletes, said. “ He has been a great mentor for our son.”

The pro athlete meet and greet is open and free to the public for youth and student athletes at NorthCore Performance Training (1501 N. 200th St., Shoreline).  On-site parking is limited, but more parking is available across the street near the bus terminal.  www.northcoretraining.com
