Baseball is one of the few truly global sports. This book is about how to get your body in better shape to play the best baseball of your life. Eating right, taking the right supplements and engaging in a proper training regimen all contribute to our overall baseball performance.
The game of baseball is played with the entire body. No swing or throw comes from one muscle - the whole body is generating movement and in turn creates power or speed. So, the entire body has to be effectively strengthened in order for you to be the best player possible. Balance in a weight-training program is critical to performance and injury prevention.
The comprehensive training programme in this book includes the following:
·Interval training for proper conditioning
·Drills for increasing "baseball speed"
·Training schedules for off-season, pre-season, and during season
·Baseball-specific weight training
The book provides healthy eating tips, in general and also for game days. Sports supplements to enhance baseball performance are discussed; with an emphasis on safety and restorative measures (whirlpools, massages, rehabilitation) may be added to help the athlete reach the highest level of achievement. There's also advice on how athletes can safely gain or lose weight.
