52 Week Baseball Training

Rating:
Summary: Applying Science to Baseball
Review: Applying exercise science to a ritually traditional sport is what Dr. Coleman has done with 52 Week Baseball Training. Excellent sections on scouting and seasonal training methods. I enjoyed the division of training into 5 phases with gradual intensity and specificity of training during those phases. Any strength trainer, exercise physiologist or coach that works with baseball/softball players will feather the pages of this book because it will be used and referred to so much. If only it came in hardcover!

Review: Gene Coleman's 52-Week Baseball Training is a definitive, practical, effective program for the aspiring athlete to achieve and maintain top physical conditioning for baseball, whether competing for a spot in the major or minor leagues, or just enjoying softball league or sandlot games. Coleman provides day-by-day, week-by-week, season-by-season workouts (including resistance training, total conditioning exercises, and position-specific activities) in a training plan that can be applied in high school, college, and summer-league schedules. Highly recommended for all novice as well as seasoned players, Coleman's 52-Week Baseball Training is laid out in four sequential phases: Postseason (active rest and recovery); Off-Season (fitness training); Preseason (training to play); and In-Season (training to win).

Summary: the definative guide for baseball training has arrived
Review: Having been involved in professional and amateur baseball player care for over twenty years I have been searching for the complete and yet readable text on baseball conditioning for the past two decades. Dr.Gene Coleman has written a "must have guide" for anyone involved in conditioning healthy baseball players. Athletic trainers, physical therapists, team physicians, and conditioning coaches will find the advise concise and very, very practical. At the same time this advise- laden book will be well received by teenage athletes, their coaches, and parents as well. As sports medicine doctors we are always struggling with the "right system" of progressive conditioning for our young athletes. Dr.Coleman has handed us the answer!!!!
