Volleyball, Baseball, Softball—those three sports all have athletes that routinely squat below parallel. What about Olympic Lifting—they frequently squat below parallel and rarely suffer any knee, hip, or spinal problems?
I played Division-1 Basketball and Baseball. How would you “sport-specific” train me when I played baseball in the fall, basketball in the winter, baseball in the spring, and baseball and basketball in the summer.
I don’t understand this at all. Sport-specific training? All sports require athletes be athletic and resistant to injury. Nothing specific about that… The usual retort that most “trainers” fall back on is the concept of energy system development specific to sport. Only three energy systems exist, all of which get used to some capacity in sport so, I still don’t understand this concept.
Thank you for shraing your insight and empowering words with the world. Through the GetOutThereFitness website, I found your newsletters. And it couldn’t have come at a more critical time for me, and a number of my friends. I am not overweight but my habits are not good, like they once were. Many of my friends are overweight and are in complete denial. Hopefully, your encouraging and “real” words will help them (and me) to see the light!
Barry, I would like your recommendation on the best all around video/workout that I need. I am a high school vollleyball coach and need to improve quickness and vertical in my girls. We don’t have access to funds so it comes out of my pocket and that is why I need the best bang for my buck. We do alot of strength and conditioning and I use alot of your methods but I would sure like to kick it up a notch and get their verticle jumps elevated. The girls at our school have kind of been forgotten and I have been trying to revive the program for the last couple of years and I need your help. What would my best option be? Thanks Andra
Thanks for the question. If you have my Volleyball Resources Ebook there are lots of good exercises in there to help. It is FREE and available at http://www.trainingforvolleyball.com
A box will pop up and all you have to do is fill in the info to get it.
The best bang for your buck, and I can say this with certainty due to the overwhelming responses and testimonials is investing in ‘Volleyball Team Training’.
State champions and runner ups have used the same program in Nevada, CT, PA, Kentucky..etc..
Medicine balls and bands are what you would need for some of the exercises. MANY of them are body weight only. Hopefully you have some of them.
I always say this Andra..The ONLY way to not see changes is 1) if the workouts are not done & 2) they are done wrong..
That’s it….if they are instructed properly and give 100% they as well as YOU will be very pleased..:)
