Book Description

December 14, 2007

Today's players are bigger, stronger, and faster than ever before. A focused conditioning program has become essential to on-the-field success. Complete Conditioning for Baseball features a comprehensive training approach that builds players' physical abilities as well as the baseball-specific skills their positions require.

Steve Tamborra, strength and conditioning coach for 60 AP Collegiate All-Americans, 16 first-round draft picks, and more than 100 athletes drafted by professional sports teams, provides exercises, drills, and programs designed to improve the essential elements of the sport—strength, power, speed, agility, and quickness. His programs will help you in these areas:

-Generate more power at the plate.

-Strengthen and protect your pitching arm.

-Increase the velocity of throws.

-Expand your range in the field.

-Improve quickness on the base paths.

In addition, the 45-minute DVD takes you onto the diamond and into the gym to demonstrate the same exercises and drills by the game's best.

With physical assessment tests, nutritional guidelines, and seasonal workouts, Complete Conditioning for Baseball is your guide to maximizing your talents and becoming a perennial all-star.
