Preparing the High School Body for Collegiate Baseball
from:by Coach Dan Huff, CSCS http://www.baseballstrength.com
If you are like most high school baseball players you are much more than just a baseball player. You are also involved in basketball, football, soccer, and maybe even track and field. This means that you are also required to train for baseball as well as basketball, football, soccer, and maybe even track and field. This leaves very little room for sport specific training.
The chances are that you are in pre-season training all year long. As soon as baseball season ends you begin pre-season training for football. As soon as football season ends you begin pre-season training for basketball, and so on...
Now don't get me wrong, there is definitely a place (and a very important one) for pre-season training, but the pre-season is just the icing on the cake. And what kind of cake would you have if it was only icing?
When you get to college you can expect a drastic change in your training styles because along with your pre-season training you will also have off-season, post-season, and in-season training. In other words, you will be training for baseball 52 weeks out of the year.
Keep this in mind during your junior and senior years of high school as you are getting ready to move onto the next level of competition. If you can begin training like a collegiate baseball player before you get to college you will have a step up on your fellow incoming freshmen.
The first thing that you will need to realize is that next season starts the day after this season ends. Sure, we will not be training all out the day after the season ends, but we will have opening day in our sights. Your training calendar needs to begin with post season training, a 4 to 6 week period where you allow your body to recover from the physical demands of the season. This is where you will be visiting your athletic training room for rehab treatments and doing a lot of low intensity work to give your body a chance to take it easy without taking it off.
After these 4-6 weeks you will begin to pump up the intensity and move into your off-season training. During the off-season you will be building your foundation for the next season. If you are lacking in strength, that will be your focus. If you are lacking in power, that will be your focus. If you are lacking in speed, that will be your focus. The key word in those statements is focus. That does not mean that we are not at all interested in the other components, we are simply focusing on your weakness.
After 8-12 weeks of off-season training you will move into your pre-season training. This is the 12 weeks leading up to your opening day. During this phase of training you will we working on the key components of the game, arm strength, acceleration, change of direction, rotational power, ect... These components will be built on the foundation that you developed during the off-season. Your in-season training will usually be 2 days of training each week consisting of preventative exercises so that you can maintain the healthiest body possible during the season.
The sooner you can prepare your body for this type of year long training for one specific sport the better off you will be during your college career.
