Get in top condition for baseball—just like the pros! Major League players are getting bigger, stronger, and faster every season. Their conditioning level is at an all-time high, resulting in more towering home runs and blazing fastballs than ever before. With 52-Week Baseball Training, you can use the same baseball-specific training regimen to improve your performance and reduce the risk of injury.
As the strength and conditioning coach for the Houston Astros, Gene Coleman has helped develop the careers of Major League stars like Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio. In 52-Week Baseball Training, Coleman provides a complete year-round conditioning plan to keep in shape in the off-season and for peak performance when it counts, during the season and playoffs. These day-by-day, week-by-week, season-by-season workouts include resistance training, total conditioning exercises, and position-specific activities.
The training plan can be used for high school, college, and summer-league competitive levels and schedules, and it organizes workouts into five sequential phases:
• Postseason—Active Rest and Recovery
• Off-Season—Fitness Training
• Preseason—Training to Play
• In-Season—Training to Win
Take the guesswork out of your training program and get the results that will pay off on the field. Use 52-Week Baseball Training to perform better at the plate, in the field, and on the mound—every game, every season.
