TIME TO WORK



With the season winding down ask yourself, how did the season go?  How did I do?  How can I improve?  Now is the time to take your game to the next level.  Fall and winter is where you make the great gains that will turn the head of coaches in the spring.  

Now is when you focus on strength, flexibility, conditioning and technique.  You need to be disciplined because a lot if this is work you do on your own or with a work out buddy.  If you would like some personal instruction, please contact me.  I know what it takes to play at the next level.  

Choose a goal and focus.  If you are playing youth ball, junior high or high school ball or ready to play college, I can help you physically and mentally on and off the field.

LET'S GET GOING


Hopefully over this off season you have been serious about your cardio, stretching and lifting.  Now it is time to get back to focusing on your specific baseball skills.  Seth is available to work with you in private or small group settings.  Where do you need to focus?  Hitting?  Defense?  Throwing?

Players from Little League to the Major Leagues need to constantly work on technique to improve and to make sure that flaws and bad habits don't creep in.  Seth can work with you after school or on Saturday. 

Tryouts are just around the corner.  Don't rely on your past performance.  Blow the coaches away when they see your improvement.  Let's do it!

OFF SEASON TRAINING

Fall ball is now over in the inter-mountain west.  Hope that you had a great year.  Baseball for those who really get after it can run from early March through October.

Now it is time for your off season training.  This is the time when champions are made.  If you are going to get to the next level, your regime must consist of the following:

1) Technique - Drills for pitching, catching, fielding and hitting.
2) Speed & Agility - Drills to improve straight speed and lateral movement.  This is very important to college coaches and professional scouts.
3) Strength - Specific lifts for baseball players.  Important to maximize bat speed and to work the core, legs, and lastly a wide variety of muscles in the arms.  Many careers are cut short due to arm injury... injuries that often times could have been prevented.

Please contact Seth to schedule private sessions throughout this off season.  Seth creates individual plans specifically for each athlete.

FALL BALL

Many players who aspire to play high school, college or professional baseball are now playing and training year round.  Fall baseball is great because the weather is cooler and players who are playing are the ones that take the game seriously.  Seth is ready to work with your player in a private session or in small groups or team clinic settings.  The drills you will learn will be things that you can practice all winter long so that you are ready to go full speed in the spring.  Call, text or email to arrange an appointment.

Omaha

Five players Seth has worked with over the past few years had an awesome experience recently when they traveled to Omaha Nebraska to play in a tournament held at the same time as the College World Series.  They played against some tough competition and got to attend some of the college games.  Baseball can lead to many opportunities.  Work hard, practice correct technique, be a good teammate and have fun!

CAMP UPDATE

Hey everyone, there is still room in both sessions of the camp starting June 11.  Please spread the word around.  It is fun for the players to be with boys they know but it is also good for them to meet new players.  Thanks for your support!

SATISFYING PRIVATE LESSONS

Seth has been working with a very determined young ball player who has had a miserable year at the plate.  His swing was a mess and his confidence was shot.  After two private sessions he is smiling, his eagerness and enthusiasm has returned and he is crushing the ball up the middle.  In fact, Seth took a hard one off of the shin and has the bruise to prove it.  The youngster is so looking forward to his games this Saturday and Monday.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

A special focus of Seth's is maximizing athletic performance through improving athleticism.  Seth earned a BS degree in Exercise Science with a Minor in Coaching.  Through his education and personal experience, Seth has learned that you can only go so far on natural talent and ability.  Extraordinary players take their game to the next level through proper training in nutrition, strength, coordination, balance, agility and cardiovascular improvement.  Seth utilizes numerous proven drills and techniques to help athletes improve in each area.  High School and college coaches are looking for dedicated winners.  If you invest in yourself and back it up with work, you will catch the eye of a coach.  This training is for athletes in any sport.

PRIVATE LESSONS

If you have specific areas or techniques that you want to improve, private lessons are a great choice.  Seth will discover your individual strengths and weaknesses.  You can work for an hour on one thing or cover a lot of areas.  It is up to you.  Seth will work you hard so be ready.  Pitching isn't taught in the camps so if you are a pitcher this is a terrific way for you to get specific instruction.  Seth learned amazing pitching techniques from attending camps featuring the legendary Greg Maddox that he would like to share with you.  If it is hitting you need to focus on, you will spend the hour hitting.  Seth bases his hitting instruction on the techniques that have made Albert Pujols an MVP and World Series Champion.
