Chris Slate serves as the Director of Strength & Conditioning at Williamsburg Baseball Academy, bringing elite-level training principles into youth baseball development. Known professionally for working with high-level and professional athletes, Chris combines performance science with age-appropriate programming to build stronger, more resilient players.
