News Index I am going to ruffle a few feathers on this one 04 August 2007
What is the reasoning for practicing a long-standing myth?
Organised baseball thrives upon a variety of opinion in moderation and recognition of duty to others as well as of personal rights and self interest but there is one thing I don’t understand; what is the reasoning for practicing a long-standing myth? Read on. Still, one the most commonly held credence in amateur baseball is that strength training and conditioning principles, with highly technical guidelines, are reserved for professional athletes and not something to be introduced to Sunday League amateur baseball players. Needless to say that this acceptance is in total contrast to my perception of the subject and therefore I utterly disagree with it; nevertheless, I am very determined to do something about it. I know I am going to ruffle a few feathers on this one but it is time that we as a team start thinking about strength and conditioning in order to develop an effective training program with a few fun ideas to incorporate into and on the field of training. There are a few components that need to be included in each training session such as speed, power, strength, agility and endurance. These components are very baseball specific and I am sure we can enjoy them if we turn those exercises into a game's situations where everyone takes part.
The Essential Elements of the Game of Baseball
Harping on the same old story but throwing, running, fielding and hitting are skills every baseball player needs to acquire in order to step his game into a better things. My priority as a coach is to give my players the best training available with thorough knowledge of the theory and plenty of practice and with their dedication and my expertise help them achieve what they want out from the game.
Work hard, play hard, let the battle begin that is what baseball is all about but a successful baseball team can also be measured by the confidence of its players since, even if it is just a small amount, winning is a habit which is only acquired when confidence flourished in a team.
I had the good fortune of having played, at a reasonable level of baseball, in faraway places such as Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Holland, Germany, U.K., U.S.A.,Spain and France but nothing has given me more satisfaction than coaching the game I love to many people from different walk of life in the United Kingdom.
As mentioned above a baseball player must be able to do four things reasonably well in order to improve his game:
a Throw.
B Run.
C Field and.
D Hit.
