Book Overview:

......Get in better condition for
baseball—and watch your game improve!
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 as the major
leaguers to prepare for the demands of
today’s game.

......As the strength and conditioning
coach for the Houston Astros, Gene Coleman
helped to extend Nolan Ryan’s career into
his mid-40s, develop Jeff Bagwell into a
power-hitting, perennial MVP candidate,
and shape Craig Biggio into a warrior-like
iron man at the plate and in the field.

......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 during the season and
playoffs.

......The book's day-by-day, week-by-week,
season-by-season workouts include resistance
training, total conditioning exercises,
and position-specific activities. And not
only does this baseball-specific conditioning
improve performance, it helps you avoid
injuries, too.

......The training plan conforms well to
high school, college, and summer-league
calendars and organizes workouts into
sequential phases:

--Postseason—Active Rest and Recovery
--Off-Season—Fitness Training
--Preseason—Training to Play
--In-Season—Training to Win

......In addition to these detailed weekly
fitness programs, the book describes how to
perform each drill and exercise and includes
more than 150 photos showing proper technique.
......Use 52-Week Baseball Training to perform
better at the plate, in the field, and on the
mound—every game, every season.
