In-this-playbook In-season baseball when you’re the “new coach”: Raven joined Towson right as baseball kicked off—long season, heavy travel, and zero pre-existing trust.

On football, she adds short, targeted QB plus-one work (shoulders/T-spine/core/stability) without pulling them away from the main team training, building durability while keeping the foundation general and strong ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
