"We cannot be more excited to partner with K-Zone and put some of the sharpest minds in the game to work improving pitching performance and reducing their injury risk."
"From our first meeting it was apparent that Dan has an in-depth understanding of baseball analytics and, more importantly, the skill set to effectively translate that data into performance enhancing instruction to each of his players.
Utilizing this unique talent, Dan has been instrumental in the continued development of the HitTrax System as he has not only helped define key metrics but he has also conceived new concepts that undoubtedly add value to the system on multiple levels – heightening instruction while at the same time providing a competitive and fun experience for his players."
I am proud to say that our association with Dan Kopitzke and the K-Zone Academy extends well beyond the typical manufacturer/customer relationship. We are truly proud to call Dan a valued member of our company." "Dan – I appreciate your dedication to your teaching and your very obvious dedication to your students. They are indeed very fortunate to have you. I am glad to finally get to see your fantastic facility. It is indeed a Jedi training heaven. Thank you for being a big part of our dream of a network of great facilities that test/train/improve players of all levels."
"I first met Dan in Houston at the Texas Baseball Ranch, so I had a good idea he was a “think outside the box” kind of guy. Even with these expectations, Dan surprised me with the amount of innovation he incorporates into the K-Zone workout program. From the creative variations using the exercise bands on his player’s hands and feet to the innovative arm care exercises his players performed, it is without question that his students were thoroughly warmed up and prepared to throw by the time a baseball was picked up. Dan’s ability to make every activity a challenging and competitive while recording performance makes K-Zone Academy a great place to train. Players are able to constantly push themselves and break records thereby becoming better athletes. The environment, detailed measuring/recording systems, and superior throwing and training drills allow athletes at the K-Zone to make size-able gains in their baseball abilities." |
"I travel and speak all over the country. I consult for numerous Academies, MLB organizations, DI programs and literally hundreds of High School, Jr College and DI, DII and DIII Universities. I have been invited to Spring Trainings, had many of my athletes drafted and reach the 90mph plateau. You could say I see it ALL. The good, the bad and the ugly.
Dan Kopitzke and the K-Zone in Apex NC..is in the top 5% of all that I see in the USA in pitching instruction. Bottom line....Dan 'gets it- He understands the connection between athleticism, mechanical efficiency, mobility, flexibility, functional & skill specific strength, scapular health and strength balance...and nutrition/rest/recovery...and how it relates to enhancing or improving the performance of those in his charge. The ultimate compliment I can ever give an instructor is 1) to invite him to assist me at the Texas Baseball Ranch in our Elite Pitchers Boot Camps and 2) That if I lived in the area...my son would train there if I was away. Both are true of Dan. There are less than 20 people in the world I would allow to actually train my son. One is Brent Strom the special pitching coordinator for the St. Louis Cardinals, one is Flint Wallace the former pitching Coach at TCU and current pitching coach for JC powerhouse Weatherford College...and one is Dan Kopitzke. So Dan may not be in a class by himself...but it sure doesn't take long to call roll. On top of Dan's skills, the K-Zone and Dan are lucky to have such wonderful support as the beautiful and gracious Natalie. Her warmth and sincere desire to help and support the process was almost as impressive as Dan's teaching skills. Together they make a great team. In today's uncertain society, full of contradictions and irresponsibility, it is very important to surround your young man with good solid people. Possibly nothing could be more important than that. Dan & Natalie are wonderful in that regard. I highly reccomend, Dan, Natalie and the K-Zone." "I have seen the program at K-Zone first hand and I am thoroughly impressed. Dan is a true teacher and he has developed a dynamic system for improving baseball ability. He is a leading authority on maintaining arm health, improving arm speed and efficiency, and increasing bat speed. If you are serious about training to gain an edge on your competition and to reach your full potential, I highly recommend the process that Dan will introduce to you at the K-Zone"

"What beautiful successful life memories he will have because of you and the K-Zone." Javita Henderson
"I really appreciate that you are not only helping with baseball, but you’re helping him to become a better man as well. Thanks Dan."
"The difference you make to the students at K-Zone is a function of both your extensive expertise in developing baseball performance and in your authentic passion for helping these young men go beyond the limits of what they think they can do. Than you for all the work you had to do to develop it in yourself and they for sharing it."

"K-Zone is not just a baseball training facility; we consider it our home away from home. It's nice to see the players get better at baseball, but even more important to see them become better young men."

"Kevin has improved his flexibility big time and gotten very physically strong, but the part that I'm most impressed with in the program is how he has grown mentally."
"He's gone from fairly average to one of the best players on his team in the last 8 weeks..."
"I sure wish Dr. Dan was around when I was younger..."
"His confidence at the plate is enormous; it has made a huge difference in David's whole approach..."
