Overview:
DVD #1- Strength Training for Baseball
One of the most important areas
to focus on in any sport is strength
training and baseball should be
viewed no differently.
---------------------
San Diego State's Strength and
Conditioning Director takes you
through a very detailed and
baseball-specific strength workout
that can be used for any position.
---------------------
Warm-ups, circuit training, dumb
bell training and medicine ball
training are all demonstrated by
Ohton. Proper technique and safety
is emphasized with every lift that
is demonstrated. Specific baseball
lifts for the shoulder, chest, legs,
abs and back are all demonstrated.
---------------------
Ohton emphasizes that any position
and any age can use the workouts
demonstrated. This is a great video
to assist in developing team
training and an ideal video for
players to utilize as a personal
training resource!
---------------------
DVD #2- Baseball Conditioning Drills
Learn how David Ohton teaches the
San Diego State baseball team speed,
flexibility, and conditioning. After
complete discussion and demonstration
of the Aztec warm up and flexibility
drills, Ohton shares the endurance
building running program they use.
---------------------
The program that is used at San
Diego State starts with a cardio
program, then works into an
intermediate program, competition
period, and ends with the "showtime"
period. Each of these steps will
cover between 2-3 weeks and build
each athlete's endurance, speed,
and running form. This will gradually
work your athletes into top shape.
---------------------
Finally, Ohton diagrams the agility
drills that he uses to help each
athlete reach their potential.
Over 20 different baseball-specific
agility drills are shown. The
flexibility program, conditioning
program, and agility drills are
ideal for a team setting or for
individual player workouts.
