GoWags Baseball/Softball Training Center

Mission Statement

The Mission of GoWags Baseball/Softball Training Center is to provide athletes with the next generation of sport specific knowledge, assessment, and advanced training.

Owned and operated by Bret Wagner, Kyle Wagner, and Bob Gorinski, GoWags is specifically designed to optimize hitting and pitching athleticism, through a comprehensive sports performance program and training facility.

GoWags aims to provide several strategies that will afford athletes every opportunity to achieve unrealized potential in hitting and pitching. This will occur through individual musculoskeletal/orthopedic assessment, customized training, technical skill coaching, and routine evaluation of key performance variables. An interactive web site, state-of-the-art technology, and our compilation of relevant measures will provide an objective basis for tracking progress and exposing problem areas.

As players ourselves, we’ve personally experienced what it’s like to be on the other side of so much uncertainty, outdated wisdom, and unmerited training methods that seem to keep baseball in the dark ages.

It’s time to question some of the conventional baseball wisdom. It’s time to objectively verify effective skill and conditioning techniques. It’s time for athletes to truly understand and apply the basic principles of physics and physiology behind the game; to know - for sure - if they are improving; to train smarter and harder; and to find joy in the self-discovery that takes place along the way.

We're lifetime students who have a passion for learning and teaching. With extensive family histories in baseball, we make no apologies for using that white sphere with red stitches as an "attention getter" and a point of common ground. We make use of our opportunity to encourage disciplined living inside and outside the gym. We attempt to exemplify character and balance - that there is much more to life than baseball.

We highly regard the time our clients give to us. We see the development of appropriate relationships as sacred. We're certain that the process of disciplined physical training is a journey of self-discovery that's valuable for far more than baseball.

Kyle Wagner

GoWags was the brainchild of Kyle. It is his goal to help all athletes understand how the relationship between hard work, sport specific training, and the understanding of applied physics can translate into amazing results - results he's seen in his own players. Kyle played his collegiate ball at Wake Forest and was a catcher in the California Angels organization. Kyle recently resigned as head coach of Red Land High School in order to dedicate himself to GoWags. Kyle also led Wake Forest to an ACC title as an assistant coach. Kyle is the resident baseball guru and as earned his Jedi Knight status as a baseball coach. Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.
