The Approach
Set the goal. Do the work. See the progress.
01
Begin where you are
Programming meets each athlete at their current level — then moves them.
02
Control the controllables
Effort, attitude, and coachability come first. Results follow.
03
The work compounds
Consistent, tracked progression beats sporadic intensity every time.
04
Ups and downs are the game
Players get coached through the hard stretches, not just the hot streaks.
05
Recovery is training
Mobility, sleep, and recovery are built into the plan, not bolted on.
06
You are not your stat line
We build identity and confidence beyond the numbers.
The Coach
Ben Harris
Ben was a two-way collegiate athlete and Under Armour All-American who closed games for the University of Georgia before being drafted in the 8th round by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021.
He started Roots Athletics to pay forward the training environment he had — the coaching, structure, and standards that turn talented kids into complete players.
