“Buffa is truly one of the best strength coaches that I’ve worked with. He doesn’t have the arrogance that says, it’s my way and my way only. He truly coaches to the individual, not to the masses which is refreshing in the industry. He has a superior knowledge of teaching strength and performance to help athletes achieve their highest levels of success. I appreciate Buffa and all the work he has invested in us to help me achieve my dreams and goals. I know he is going to help countless others and benefit their careers. Thank you Buffa for all your help.”
- Seth Connor, Toronto Blue Jays Organization
“Elite Baseball Academy has evolved into one of the best strength programs I have ever got to work with. The coaches are constantly studying their area of work and looking for ways to better their athletes. I was fortunate enough to work with EBAthis offseason and saw tremendous strides and progression in both my strength and health. The coaches are great at sitting down with you and developing a plan to help you achieve goals and I can’t thank them enough for that.”
- Joey Hawkins, Associate Head Coach, Missouri State University
“Elite Baseball Academy has been an important component to how we train our throwing athletes at ACE Baseball Development. The attention to detail as a result of their cutting edge force plate assessments and workouts have helped our athletes acquire the necessary skills to get to the highest levels of baseball. Our partnership with EBA over the years has been invaluable to our athletes and our company.”
- Adam Jahnsen, ACE Baseball Development
“This was my first offseason playing above the high school level. I had no prior weight training and didn’t know the physical shape I needed to be in to be a professional athlete. Coach Buffa not only taught me the lifts I needed to be doing but also taught me the correct form and always made sure I was doing things the right way so I would be healthy and in the best shape I had ever been in. I can’t thank him enough for all that he has done for me.”
- Jacob Schelessner, St. Louis Cardinals Organization
"This offseason was the best one I have ever had. I’ve never been this strong or in this good of shape. Jacob Buffa is the best trainer you can have. He is passionate, driven, and good at what he does. I will definitely follow his program next year and use Jacob again. Thank you Jacob for getting me into shape.”
- Tate Matheny, Boston Red Sox Organization
“Every offseason I look to prepare my body to endure the upcoming rigors that come with a five/six month season of baseball. Working with Jacob this past offseason gave me a great base heading into spring training and to carry forward into the season. His knowledge and use of baseball specific lifts are right in line with the programs I am accustomed to in various organizations I’ve been a part of. His approach allows the body to perform at its best on the field, the earlier you can instill these proper movements the better off you will be down the road.”
- Mike Kickham, San Fransisco Giants
“Denton and the team over at EBA are at the top of the food chain as far as training goes. There’s no one better. They take the time to set up each athlete for success with a program tailored around that players individual needs. All backed by measurable data to take the guess work out of training and be as efficient as possible. On top of the lite level training, they are good people who have built life long relationships with their athletes.”
-Zach Rutter, Hitting Director, 5 Star Hitting
“Elite Baseball Academy has been an invaluable resource for the athletes that I treat. Their utilization of a data-driven approach to baseball strength and conditioning promotes the programming individualization needed to bridge athletes from rehab to performance. Elite’s experience in the use of force plate technology gives them a head start on translating the weight room to the field.”
