This 3-Part Over-Speed Training Drill Develops +Hands / +Feet! Working 3 Lanes and 3 Hand Actions! When the Game Speeds up, Elite Infielders play 100% Under Control; Light, Loose, Free, and Easy! #suave @TroskyRanch @CoachMongero @soldier_sports @warstic

[Trent Mongero @CoachMongero]

Baseball is a game. It is meant to be “played.” When the focus becomes something else (pleasing a parent), performance is reduced & the fun is gone. Encourage your son/daughter to support their teammates, listen to their coaches & have fun. Simply compete to help their team win.

Astounded. What a blatant lack of respect for people who have lost loved ones, lost jobs or given every last bit of themselves to work in essential jobs through this past year.

And although the load can often guide the number of anticipated reps lifted, use AMRAP (as many reps as possible) and RIR (reps in reserve) more in your prescriptions

Thanks for reading. Finito!

Strength training is flexibility training!

New systematic review finds strength training just as effective as stretching for improving range of motion of all body parts! (NB: preprint) https://t.co/BNVu9vviVx

The art of Tricking the Brain “TTB” is essential because the “VOD” Voice of Doubt is real! In a game where the ball’s in flight for about 5% of the time, even Major Leaguers experience the “VOD!”

Recap from Trosky Tuesday: (8/25)

5 most underrated drills:

1. Bare handed drills
2. Jump rope
3. Wall ball
4. Playing catch
5. Strike out game

“Master infielders don’t catch the ball they exchange and redirect the ball” = FLOW!

Great stuff !!

Something I will be linking with advice I currently discuss w/ patients regarding how "much" activity is ideal. Its one thing to help patients achieve their fnx goals but we should also be having discussions about the life long benefits of ex as it relates to mortality.
