After battling through a UCL tear and the challenges of recovery, Nick Gravel refused to let setbacks define his baseball journey. From high school quarterback to Rookie of the Year at Keystone College, Nick’s athleticism and passion for competition have always driven him forward. But it wasn’t until he connected with Tread Athletics that he truly began to rebuild and refine his game.
Through his personalize remote training and in-house visits, Nick has found a path back to the mound, sharpening his mechanics, enhancing his pitch design, and reigniting his dream of competing at the highest level.

What is Tread? A message from Tread’s Co-Founder, Ben Brewster
If you’re new to this channel, my name is Ben Brewster, and since 2015 my partner Coan and I have run Tread Athletics, a remote pitching development company that has impacted thousands of high school, college and professional pitchers’ careers.
Here's my story: at 15, I was just a driven but naive kid with a dream of playing at the highest level. This took me down a wild path, that included:
-Getting cut from travel teams and throwing low 70s as a 6’3” 155lb freshman.
-Being unrecruited out of high school (seriously, not a single offer to pitch in college).
-Landing a walk-on spot at the University of Maryland & earning a degree in Exercise Science.
-Getting drafted by the Chicago White Sox and throwing 98+ mph from the left side.
-Pushing through 5 surgeries in my late 20’s, despite people telling me to throw in the towel.
Seeing that very few pitchers, like myself, had access to the types of instructors and information locally that would truly make a difference in their careers, Tread’s remote coaching was born.
Today: Tread oversees the development of over 1,500 amateur and 500+ pro pitchers around globe (check out our interactive athlete map it’s pretty cool), and has become home to over 50 of the top Pitching coaches in the world.
Our staff operates out of a 33,000 square foot training facility in Charlotte, NC that includes one of the top private Pitching Labs, a PhD-led biomechanics team, world-class medical staff & more, as we work to lead the charge on building better, healthier pitchers.
While my own playing career has been defined by more setbacks than successes, these personal struggles give me a crystal clear perspective that Tread isn't just about building superior pitchers - it's about fighting towards a shared dream; whether that means making your high school team, landing a college scholarship, signing a pro contract or debuting in the big leagues.
For these players, I’m all in -- let’s continue to pursue the dream together.

These summary videos really don't have enough information in them to be interesting to me. I want to learn about the process of how Tread approaches things not what music some random guy listens to. I want the coaches perspective of the process, I guess, not the player's.

Looking to highlight what training with Tread is like from an athlete's perspective as they are our clients and many athletes are confused about what training with Tread actually looks like. Will try to keep incorporate more of the coach's perspectives though!
