When I was reading this morning, I saw a blog post that listed five reasons you are not seeing results. As I was reading the post it got me thinking. I have over 10 years experience in the field of training. Most of the guys that we come in contact with are baseball players. Most of the guys that we talk to are having similar training issues. The one thing all of these guys have in common is they're all trying to get better.<br />
<br />
I wouldn't disagree with anything the post came up with, but I would say a lot of the guys that we see have been struggling with something different. <br />
<br />
The fall is an exciting time for us at Athletes In Motion because it gives us an opportunity to work with a lot of new guys for the first time. During our initial assessment, one thing we learn about is what they’ve been struggling with in the past. Here is a list of some of the common issues:<br />
<br />
<b>1. </b><u><b>Poor <span style="font-size: small;">programming</span></b></u> If you are on a program that you got out of a magazine or from the football coach in high school, then you are on the wrong program. Similarly, if you haven’t had an assessment, you are on the wrong program. What kind of results do you expect to get from someone else's training program?<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b><u><b>Your diet sucks</b></u> If your morning starts out with a bowl of cereal, your diet sucks. A lot of kids we initially meet, aren't getting enough protein in their diet. How serious are you really if you're skipping meals? Don't tell me you eat like a horse when I see that you’re stuffed after eating just half a sandwich. Don't tell me you're serious about getting better if you're skipping meals. The fact is, you aren't getting enough protein. The first thing you need to do is fix your diet. If you are 6 feet tall and 140 pounds, I’m talking about you. Find out what works. Get help. Plan ahead. Learn to snack. Get creative. If you are serious, you'll do what it takes.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><br />3. <u>No regression</u></b> First of all, I’m gonna say this, I've been working in gyms for a long time. I spent about 15 years in a gym before I opened AIM. As a member, trainer, and also a manager. I've seen what people do when they're left on their own. It was not uncommon for me to see guys try to learn how to squat under a fairly significant load. One problem with this is that they’ve learn how to do these exercises from their friends, who had learned from other friends, who had learned them from either a magazine or an old football coach. You can imagine the results. We call it the blind leading the blind. But the bigger problem here is that these guys are so concerned about progressing the program or exercise (i.e., squatting under a significant load) and not at all concerned about regressing it (i.e., squatting under less weight to ensure the mechanics are good).<br />
<br />
<b>4. </b><u><b>You've been strengthening dysfunction</b></u> If your movement patterns are faulty and you progressively add resistance, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. It’s imperative you fix the movement pattern before you add weight otherwise you're asking for big trouble. A lot of times this is more of the blind leading the blind. If you don't have somebody looking at your movement patterns and you're a newbie, then you’re an injury waiting to happen.</div>

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5. <u> No deload</u> </b>This can play into the poor programming department but regardless, if you constantly load and never deload, you're asking for trouble. I saw it all the time when I was at gyms. People will progressively load more and more weight week after week without thinking about taking a week off. Not only is this a good way to get hurt but it’s also a good way to stop making gains after a period of time. So how do you deload and when? Well there are several different options available and depending on different factors, one way might be more appropriate for you than the others. A good program will have this built in for you. </div>

</div>Here at Athletes In Motion, we do our best to provide our athletes' with up-to-date research on exercise and sports sciences. We do this so that our athletes have the proper tools and resources to develop and succeed. <br />
<br />
As an Intern at AIM, my first project has been to reestablish and evolve the core programs. This evolution of the core programs is directly beneficial to our athletes by ways of less impact on lower spine and proper initiation of the abdominal muscles. The new exercises all have a similarity in that they try and emphasize a "neutral spine" which creates less impact on an already overused spine. <br />
<br />
<div>With the amount of research conducted by Zane and passed on to myself, we have learned that a simple crunch can put upwards to 760lbs of pressure on the lower spine. That amount of weight is unnecessary and can be eliminated with proper programming. <br />
<br />
The new programs at AIM offer variations of planks, <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109606641564&s=0&e=001efUD2LekZFV_AshhsbUB5AXL76sDOA_MoxqPP3VKXriCQVZDEJPiTlGx5oRocHSITbii51vP9vEGIghXGD6sUPwXWZU0LOeJb9unWhPgcuVEcVnuhXiYWa6TKI3PePBr">TRX Suspension Trainers</a>, and fulcrum sliding movements. The use of stabilization methods work the abs and surrounding core muscles more effectively, more functionally, and without impact.<br />
<br />
These programs containing functional movements will not only shred your stomach, they'll get you transferring more power from your lower body to your upper body when you compete. <br />
<br />
Check out some of the exercises in the Camden Yards Core Program by watching the YouTube video:<br />

His first year training professional baseball players was exciting, not only because he was able to combine his two passions - baseball and strength & conditioning - but also because he was getting great feedback which confirmed he was doing the right thing.<br />
<br />
<div>But professional athletes weren't the only ones seeking Zane's training expertise. During this time, Zane was working out of Sunset Athletic Club and came across dozens of youth athletes that had the same drive to succeed in the sport they loved to play.<br />
<br />
In 2008, Zane created a new program called the <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109606641564&s=0&e=001efUD2LekZFV_AshhsbUB5AXL76sDOA_MoxqPP3VKXriCQVZDEJPiTlGx5oRocHSITbii51vP9vGRhk7ha2Q4jV9diudU22pbd-QvbMXtPBP6UNm8NDNOqWVQxWqyAPX19arYnWb56JbK3-1ooVw-jeVA4bJURcrA">AIM Class</a>, which targeted youth athletes. Between the ages of 8 and 14, kids are starting to become more competitive and serious about excelling in sports. They are also battling their own bodies, which are constantly changing and growing. Zane recognized that this age group had unique challenges and required a special type of program.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109606641564&s=0&e=001efUD2LekZFV_AshhsbUB5AXL76sDOA_MoxqPP3VKXriCQVZDEJPiTlGx5oRocHSITbii51vP9vGRhk7ha2Q4jV9diudU22pbd-QvbMXtPBP6UNm8NDNOqWVQxWqyAPX19arYnWb56JbK3-1ooVw-jeVA4bJURcrA">AIM Class</a> works on overall athleticism and skill. The program is designed to maximize physical ability while minimizing risk of injury. In the AIM Class, kids work to develop proper running techniques, athletic coordination, balance, relative strength, and muscular movement patterns.<br />
<br />
As kids get a little older, the focus shifts from learning basic athletic skills to perfecting these skills. Repeated practice leads to permanent and positive changes and mastering these skills creates a better athlete.<br />
<br />
Whether it's professional athletes wanting to improve and extend their career, collegiate players looking to become pro's, high schoolers with their sights set on a D1 scholarship, or youth athletes who are still honing their skills and developing... the theme is clear. Dedicated, driven, and hard-working athletes seek out and train with Athletes In Motion because they know hard work pays off and Zane's programs deliver what they are looking for. <br />

You are almost eleven times more likely to get injured during the first month of the baseball season, than any other time of year.<br />

If you're serious about making a career out of baseball, get into a quality program that'll prevent injuries rather than cause them. <br />
<br />
One thing I've noticed just from reading Facebook or Twitter, is that several key players at various high schools have already gone down with injuries! It's costing them critical playing time *think 20 scouts in the stands and you can't play because you're hurt*. And sometimes we only get that one opportunity. <br />
<br />
Playing time is vital. You never know who is in the stands at any given game. <br />

Baseball has always played an important role in my life, as I'm sure, many of you can relate to. I was playing baseball as early as I can remember and to this day, I can't imagine my life without it.<div><br />
</div><div>I've been pretty lucky to have played for some great coaches. I attended Sunset High School and played for Mike Bubalo. I then went to Mt. Hood Community College and played for Dale Stebbins and Gabe Sandy. After Mt. Hood, I finished up at Concordia University where I played for Rob Vance.</div><div><br />
</div><div>As a baseball player, I was dedicated and driven to succeed. I worked hard both on and off the field and spent long hours in the gym trying to get bigger, faster, and stronger. Despite all of my best efforts, I consistently found myself injured. It seemed that the harder I worked, the more hurt I got. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The first injury I suffered was to my abdomen. It was strained pretty bad and made it difficult to run. I was still pretty fast, but I could have been faster.</div><div><br />
</div><div>A couple months later, I pulled my hamstring while running to 1st base. I distinctly remember Coach Stebbins telling me that my quads were overdeveloped.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Over the next 2 years, I suffered from back spasms, which caused me to lose playing time and miss games. I eventually suffered a second injury to my abdomen.</div><div><br />
</div><div>A month later I tore my UCL (ulnar collatoral ligament). The second this happened, I realized that my days as a player were over. Even as I walked off the field, I was already questioning why all of this was happening to me. After all, I was putting in hours at the gym to get better and prevent injuries. Baseball was my life. I trained and practiced and played and trained and practiced and played.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But then it dawned on me. <b>Everything I was doing to get myself ready for baseball was putting me at more risk for getting hurt.</b> Like Coach Stebbins had pointed out, my quads were overdeveloped. I could later see how underdeveloped my hamstrings were. In fact, all my large muscles were overdeveloped and the smaller, stabilizing muscles were underdeveloped. And, all of this muscle imbalance could be attributed to <b>bad programming</b>.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I should mention that I, alone, put together my own training programs. I read Body Building magazines and trained like a football player. These were the only workouts I knew and I was trying to apply it to baseball, which obviously was not working.</div><div><br />
</div><div>During my time at Concordia, I study Athletic Training and the knowledge I gained here helped me realize that nothing I was doing made sense for baseball. In fact, a lot of it was <i>stupid</i> for baseball.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The reason I consistently got hurt was perfectly clear. I was over-working my major muscle groups to produce more power and ignoring all the minor muscle groups and the stability principles that are so important in baseball.</div><div><br />
</div><div>So after I learned about how NOT to get hurt and finished up at Concordia, I was already training the general population but I could see there was a need in baseball. Athletes were getting hurt left and right and there wasn't a program or facility (that I could see) that offered strength and conditioning training specifically <b>for</b> baseball players. Even now still, the majority of high school and college baseball players work with trainers that have a football background (or any other background besides baseball!) and do their "training" on their own at a local gym or in their high school weight training class. </div><div><br />
</div><div>This got me thinking... <i>What are we doing and How can we do it better?</i></div><div><br />
</div><div>That was when I got a call from Brian Burres, a pitcher who was with the Baltimore Orioles at the time, and a good friend of mine. He was working out at another facility and called me with questions about what we'd be doing if I were to train him. I talked to him about the principles I believed in and gave him an idea of my training methods. We went out to dinner that night and started training the next day.</div><div><br />
</div><div>For five days a week, Burres would travel 45 minutes a day to workout with me. After our first week of training, he started bringing in more athletes.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Before I knew it, we had a fairly large, good group of guys and we needed more space. I looked around at some other facilities and gyms but none of them had what I was looking for. We needed a large space for these guys to be able to hit, throw and train. When I exhausted my search, I came to the conclusion that I would need to <b>create</b> this space because it did not exist in the area. </div><div><br />
</div><div>On November 1st, 2010, I opened the doors to Athletes In Motion.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Over the last couple years, the groups have continued to grow and I am now proud to say that I work with more professional baseball players than anyone else in the Northwest! I've since expanded my programs to include collegiate and high school level players. <b>This winter alone, we've worked with 51 athletes from 10 different professional organizations, 6 different colleges, and 14 different high schools.</b></div><div><br />
</div><div>I get asked all the time why I do what I do and what I get out of it. Well, this story is my answer. With Athletes In Motion, I hope to provide a place for baseball players of all levels to get better -<i> the right way! </i>The training programs offered here incorporate the most current research available. Not only that, but we open our doors to Major League Scouts in order to provide a place for aspiring players to be noticed (I would have <b>loved</b> this in my playing days!). We also allow professionals (athletes and scouts) to offer baseball skills training to those players looking to improve their technique. And lastly, we provide additional resources (such as prehab/rehab, nutritional guidance, college prep, and mental game support) to our players in order to produce a well-rounded athlete.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The programs we offer require hard-work and dedication. We don't take short-cuts and we expect the same out of our athletes. Admittedly, Athletes In Motion is not for everyone - but I think it's better this way. It's exactly the type of place I would have liked to have when I was playing baseball. <br />

Too often we see athletes make great progress during the off-season only to regress during the competitive season, mostly because they quit training. Most college and high school teams practice and/or play games 6 days a week so it's easy to think there's no time for additional training.<div><br />
</div><div>But really, what good is it to work your butt off during the winter months only to lose all the progress you've made once baseball starts? This last winter in particular we saw some amazing results from guys. Some of them adding <b>25 lbs of muscle</b> and losing up to <b>6% body fat</b>! Personally, I know that I wouldn't work that hard, only to quit training and lose my results.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Not only will <a href="http://athletesinmotiontc.blogspot.com/p/winter-strength-and-conditioning.html" target="_blank">in-season training</a> prevent you from quickly regressing back to pre-training levels, but it will also protect you against injury. The last thing you want is to get injured and not even be able to play!</div><div><br />
</div><div>One way to avoid this downward spiral is to participate in a quality <a href="http://athletesinmotiontc.blogspot.com/p/winter-strength-and-conditioning.html" target="_blank">in-season strength & conditioning program</a>. I know your busy between school, practices, games, and friends... but if you're really serious about playing at the next level, you will find the time and do what it takes.</div><div><br />
</div><div>It also helps to understand what an in-season training program should look like. Most of you are accustomed to training with me 4 and even 5 days a week. During the competitive season, I recommend no more than 2 full body workouts a week and they should generally last between 35 to 45 minutes each.</div><div><br />
</div><div>In-season workouts are also structured differently than our off-season workouts. You'll notice less stress on energy system development and more emphasis on strength & power, in addition to individual pre-hab work. </div><div><br />
</div><div>The last thing I want to mention about in-season training is to always listen to your body. The workouts you participate in should be designed to keep you healthy and to maximize your performance. </div><div><br />

<br />
Did you know that pitchers are 34% more likely to experience an injury during the baseball season than a position player?<br />
<br />
Our Pitchers Screen is designed to detect physical "red flags" so that we can help make you a stronger, more sound pitcher.<br />
<br />
My job as a Strength & Conditioning Coach is to detect weaknesses and keep guys healthy and on the field. If we don't have some form of an evaluation or assessment, then I am doing my athletes a disservice by not detecting their weaknesses.<br />
<br />
When I'm performing an evaluation, I'm looking for red flags. I pay close attention to the shoulders and hips and look for early predictors of dysfunction.<br />
<br />
The point of our evaluations is not to say you will get hurt during the season but instead to point out areas of weakness that you should work to improve in order to prevent from getting hurt.<br />
<br />
I recently gave a presentation to a group of coaches on this exact topic. My main point was thatyou don't want to build on dysfunction. You wouldn't want to build a house on a cracked foundation just like we shouldn't strength train our bodies without first correcting any problems.<br />
<br />
I gave the example of an athlete I saw doing squats. At this point in her training she was doing basic squats but I noticed her right knee caving in each time she squatted down. As an athlete, she knows the importance of being powerful. She also know that to become more powerful, you add weight. The problem is, by adding weight to her squat she is actually becoming less functional because she first needs to address the weakness in her hips that are causing the knee to kick way over during the squat.<br />
<br />
If she were to have gotten an assessment, a professional could have easily identified the issue with her knee and then investigated further to identify what issues were causing her dysfunction and help her fix them.<br />
<br />
With assessments, we can pretty accurately predict your risk of injury. And, whatever the finding may be, we can create a program specifically for you to correct it. Skipping the assessment is ignoring the problem and thus building on the dysfunction. So, Get in. Get screened. And have a great season!<br />

Eating correctly will help ensure you are at your peak performance for competition. Not providing your body with the proper fuel can derail your training and hamper your performance. Other benefits of proper sports nutrition include: <br />
<ul><li>You are able to train longer and harder </li>
<li>Onset of fatigue is delayed </li>
<li>Performance is enhanced </li>
<li>Optimal recovery is promoted </li>
<li>Concentration is improved </li>
<li>Potential for injury is reduced </li>
</ul><div><b>So what should you eat? </b><br />
Try your best to consume <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">whole, unprocessed foods</span> whenever possible. Your diet should also be balanced and have variety. </div><div><br />
</div><div><u>Carbohydrates – </u>The carbs you consume should come from whole grains, seasonal fruits and vegetables, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, and beans.<br />
<br />
Carbohydrates provide a major source of energy, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They are also your major muscle fuel source for high-intensity activities. <br />
<br />
<u>Protein – </u><br />
The protein you consume should come from meat, birds, fish, eggs, nuts, beans and cheese. <br />
<br />
Protein builds and repairs muscle tissue and works with carbohydrates to increase your recovery rate. <br />
<br />
Protein comes from two main sources: animals or plants and vegetables. It is best to get your protein from animal sources as these contain all nine essential amino acids. <br />
<br />
<u>Healthy Fats – </u><br />
The fat you consume should come from animal fat, egg yolks, coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado. Avoid vegetable oils (canola, corn, safflower, soy, nut & seed oils). <br />
<br />
Fats are the major muscle fuel for low intensity activity. They are also a major source of energy and vitamins. <br />
<br />
<b>You also need to stay hydrated! </b><br />
The largest contributing factor to fatigue during exercise is dehydration. Dehydration is caused by the loss of fluid and electrolytes, mainly from when you sweat. Not only is important to stay hydrated but you also need to choose the correct drink to do the job. Water is obviously the best choice, as it will replenish your body’s lost water fluids from exercise. Sports drinks are a good choice during or after an activity but should not be consumed all day long. Avoid sodas and other carbonated beverages as well as juices that contain added sugars. <br />
<br />
<b>Fast Food? </b><br />
Try to avoid fast food whenever possible. It has been processed multiple times and therefore it takes the body years to break it down. Fast food contains very low vitamin and mineral content and instead is loaded with saturated fat, simple carbs (sugar), or both. Consuming fast food will cause your body to crash, as it does not provide the necessary fuel for maximum performance and for recovery between performances. Essentially, by eating fast food, you are working against yourself. <br />
<br />
If you’re really in a pinch for time, grab a sandwich from the deli. These can still be made with low quality food so your best bet is to head to a health food store, such as New Seasons or Whole Foods. <br />
<br />
The best possible thing to do is be prepared. Pack yourself enough food and snacks to munch on throughout the day so that you don’t have to resort to fast food! Some of the best snack foods are fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, protein shakes, trail mix, jerky, yogurt, cheese, tuna, hard-boiled eggs. <br />

<div>Although running poles and/or several miles a day is something pitchers have become accustomed to doing, the truth is, it can actually hurt your performance! The reason? Long-distance running trains the wrong energy system. Sprinters don't train by running miles and long distance runners don't include sprinting in their training. Baseball is full of short, explosive movements therefore, baseball players should train more like a sprinter with short, intense sprints, rather than running long distances. At Athletes In Motion, we focus on sprints. We use a variety of (short) distances, rest periods, and intervals. We never jog and we never move slow!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_uXyp5Dw2N40sv0048od_1Hkw6ZFpOjUn7nmaL9jCodGivVho2fyFBawS3zpEpGkaSkT3MDCo7dujgF6Xu7FV4FM7NNPwliOdXOCS0lzd9LpKQitsbRhgEcLxngS5Q6iwiHXCb2lwtz57/s1600/sprint.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_uXyp5Dw2N40sv0048od_1Hkw6ZFpOjUn7nmaL9jCodGivVho2fyFBawS3zpEpGkaSkT3MDCo7dujgF6Xu7FV4FM7NNPwliOdXOCS0lzd9LpKQitsbRhgEcLxngS5Q6iwiHXCb2lwtz57/s400/sprint.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<b><u>Myth 2 – Static Stretching will Prevent Injuries and Enhance Performance.</u></b><br />
Static Stretching involves reaching forward to the point of tension and holding the stretch. Again, this is something baseball players (most athletes, actually!) have become accustomed to doing before getting started with their exercise, practice, or game. The truth is, static stretching is not the best way to prime your body. Before an activity, you want to warm your body up and get mentally prepared. Static stretching actually cools down the body’s core temperature down and encourages day dreaming and socialization. The best way to get ready for an activity is with a Dynamic Warm-Up. Not only does a dynamic warm-up energize and the prime the muscles, but it also gets you mentally prepared by forcing you to focus and concentrate on the task at hand. If you’ve been working out at Athletes In Motion this winter, you’ve done these dynamic warm-ups hundreds of times. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b><u>Myth 3 – Rotator Cuff This, Rotator Cuff That.</u></b><br />
Many players and coaches believe that shoulder problems are caused by a weak Rotator Cuff. The truth is, dysfunction of the Rotator Cuff is the result of poor mobility in the Thoracic Spine and poor mobility and stability in the Scapula. Both of these help to <b>stabilize</b> the Rotator Cuff. While it is important to train your Rotator Cuff, doing this alone will not improve the health of your shoulder. It’s important to stabilize the Scapula! Without creating the proper stabilization, you're building on a weak foundation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxx_0voFa0cuCIoe6sM69ZCtm0hvVRRUJxV0A_OmwLV4iQvHm-Idf9LjG9uHbOebqEsdzaXm5ID8a3U09Ud_IwT0UA5aDrtpDt5KJPBPwrgbyh9shgWb-vfbg1oqGE6CQK91oiyYMXrlqM/s1600/scap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxx_0voFa0cuCIoe6sM69ZCtm0hvVRRUJxV0A_OmwLV4iQvHm-Idf9LjG9uHbOebqEsdzaXm5ID8a3U09Ud_IwT0UA5aDrtpDt5KJPBPwrgbyh9shgWb-vfbg1oqGE6CQK91oiyYMXrlqM/s400/scap.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<b><u>Myth 4 – Having a Six-Pack Means You Have a Strong Core. </u></b><br />
People have historically believed that doing hundreds of crunches each day will develop a strong, athletic core. But this is absolutely false! Sit-ups and crunches work the superficial muscles, the Rectus Abdominis, and ignore the deep muscles that actually make your core stronger and protect against injury. While the larger muscle groups do produce the most movement, if your supporting muscles aren’t strong, you are more likely to get hurt. At Athletes In Motion, we do core work everyday but we don’t incorporate any sit-ups or crunches in our program. Instead you’ll find yourself doing Active and Anti-Rotational work. <br />
<br />
<b><u>Myth 5 – Weighted Bats will Increase Your Bat Speed.</u></b><br />
Most players believe that a weighted bat helps to speed up their swing but truth is, it only feels like your swinging faster when you switch over to your normal (lighter) bat. Furthermore, swinging a weighted bat can actually slow down your bat speed, enforce faulty movement patterns, and change the mechanics of your swing. While there is some truth that swinging a weighted bat (for some) can mentally prepare you for a game, it’s strictly mental. At Athletes In Motion, we never encourage the use of weighted bats with our athletes however, if one of the players feels it gives them some sort of edge, then we would not forbid it. The approach best used to increase bat speed is good old fashion strength training. <br />

A proper dynamic warm-up will:<br />
<ul><li>Activate, energize and prime the muscles. It prepares the body for peak performance! </li>
<li>Activate the nervous system, which enhances coordination and motor ability. This is especially beneficial for younger athletes who are still learning their bodies. </li>
<li>Raise the body's core temperature. This will increase the elasticity of muscles, tendons, ligaments and overall joint structure. This also improves your range of motion and increases flexibility. </li>
<li>Prepares the mind for the practice or game ahead. As we know, baseball is a mental game and proper mental preparation is vital to maximizing your success.</li>
</ul><div><br />
