Balance vs Stability

Knowing the difference between balance and stability can go a long way when designing sensible baseball performance training programs for your ball players.  JC Santana, front thinker when it comes to Functional Training, provides an easy to understand perspective on balance and stability.

Here's a hint...Train stability and out train the game!

Why Baseball Players Shouldn't Olympic Lift | Eric Cressey

This is an excellent article from Eric Cressey, owner of Cressey Performance. 

 On June 25, 2010 I posted a blog which described my non-conforming perspective and thoughts regarding O-lifts for baseball performance strength training.

So when I read Eric's article earlier this week it was great to know that there were others (especially baseball reputable such as Eric) who shared similar views.

Tiger catches a Fish

Former Miami Marlin, Anibal Sanchez (SP) has been traded to the American League Central leading Detroit Tigers. What a turn of events for Anibal - going from a team most likely not to see the postseason to a team in postseason contention.








Looking forward to watching him get after the AL.

Out train the game!

Miguel Tejada Free Agent

After impressing during an extended spring training "look" and then showing that he was more than capable of playing on a regular basis with AAA Norfolk Tides (38 years old) Miguel Tejada, knowing there was little roster room with the parent club (Baltimore Orioles), asked for and was granted his release on June 25, 2012.

This in no way means he is done. His love and respect for the game of baseball drives his passion & determination...to PLAY baseball. Today, we once again started up our in-gym and on-field training program, and will continue to do so in hopes that a team will need a MVP, All-Star, veteran presence.

Out train the game!

Tejada Updates

Since joining AAA Norfolk Tides on May 20, 2012, Miggi has played 16 games, primarily at 3rd, and is posting a .339 BA.

I hope it's just a matter of time before he gets back the MLB and to the game he truly truly loves.

Out train the game!
