What started as a vision to help high school baseball players prepare and train for the college level has grown into a virtual factory for producing elite athletes in their perspective sports.

In 2008, after a professional baseball career, Joe Neal created Strictly Baseball, a company that was dedicated to training and placing baseball players in collegiate programs. He saw the lack of knowledge both kids and parents possessed in regards to developing successful collegiate baseball athletes. Because of this, he desired to change the face of high school training permanently. Neal was in fact a star baseball player at Bishop Foley HS, but he quickly realized that he was far behind in training to excel at Wayne State University for the next four years.

After his 4 year college career at Wayne State University and a three year stint in professional baseball from 2004-2007, Joe decided to teach high school baseball players the information he now possessed of what it took to succeed in baseball at a higher level. Strictly Baseball was started in 2008 and since its beginning has trained and placed 34 kids into colleges ranging from NAIA to NCAA Division 1 baseball.

In 2009 Joe expanded his company to focus on numerous sports and general athletics. 2SP was formed and now brings in athletes from all ages, sexes, and sports and trains them to be Elite Athletes. 2SP trains teams such as Brother Rice Football, Brother Rice Lacrosse, Honey Baked Hockey, Denby Football, Troy Football, and Little Caesars Hockey just to name a few.

Joe is a certified PFT (personal fitness trainer) through the National Exercise Sports Trainers Association.
