Our Running Speed Program
Is one
of
the pillars of the
training program. I always say, “ you train for speed and everything else
has to improve” The increased flexibility, strength, ground force,
agility, acceleration, explosive power, improved stride frequency, and
overall improvement in running mechanics. These are the by products of a
good speed program.
Throwing Velocity
Enhancement
Program
Designed to improve the overall core region, back, shoulders and hip
musculature, this is the central storage area for speed and explosive
power. Radar gunned testing at the beginning and at the completion of
the program will give measurable improvement data for each player.
Bat Speed and Ball exit Speed
Is the measurement for a hitter’s power out put. We have the tools to
train and measure these actions and mechanics for the hitter. Our Zelocity Pure Flight
(click here for a sample screen shot) computerized measuring device is
state of the art technology for advanced measurement of bat speed, ball
exit speed, and the key factor - power transfer ratio. These measurements
give us the most accurate state of the hitters swing and let us
develop the proper training program to maximize and progressively
monitor improvement in our hitting program.
In baseball lateral quickness is equally if not more important than
linear speed.The ability to move side to side is very important but equally important
is the ability to stop, gather and redirect your momentum which is often the
case in baseball.Response mechanisms and
mechanics need to be developed to maximize lateral movement, mobility and
agility.Lateral training is often taken for granted and taught biomechanically incorrect. We pay close attention to the mechanics, balance and the specificity of the movements. We
try to stay as close to your skill movements used on the baseball field.
Rotational
Force
The game of baseball both from
general and sport specific perspectives requires developing the athlete’s
rotational capacity.Building a
hitter’s rotational range of motion (ROM) and power will improve
your overall hitting performance as well as other aspects of your game from
basic agility skills and injury prevention, to the dominant throwing and hitting
motions. The core muscles used during these movements include the abdominals,
hips, and lower back. Functional exercises that include many planes of movement
are essential to properly train this area. When you look at the swing or the
pitching delivery, they both go through a sequence of movements. During this
sequence the core plays a big role in stabilizing the body so energy or force
can pass up from the legs to the shoulder, to the arms and eventually to the
bat. This is without a doubt one of the areas that has to be strong during the
swing. If the extremities are strong and the core is weak, there will not be
enough force generated in those extremities to produce explosive movement. A
weak core is a fundamental cause of inefficient movement. It also makes it tough
to have a good repeatable swing or pitching delivery if the core region is
weak.
Muscular
Strength
Muscular strength is defined as the maximum force that can be generated by a muscle or muscle group.Strength gains must be specific to your needs.Power work must focus on your power zone.The leg muscles, midsection, and glutials do the majority of work. Our
training
programs
target
the power zone where the major focus of muscle strength should be placed:
Diamond
Sport
Explosive
Power
Diamond sport athletes are involved primarily in quick explosive movements.Lateral speed, agility and quickness is often more important than strength and speed.The sport of baseball requires an athlete to be placed in various angles ranging from straight up to bent over.The ability to possess quickness, strength and explosion in any angle is a must.Explosion
out of the box, the thrust when stealing a base and fielding a bunted
ball off the mound after a pitch are all examples of explosion with
your body in an opposite direction.When
working to build explosion and agility we must work with a systematic
training approach that is specific to individual sport needs.With
proper development through various phases we aim and succeed in
enhancing our athletes ability to move quickly and explosively in any
direction.Our workouts aim to condition the body, be enjoyable and unique, and incorporate fun and variety to obtain maximum gains.
