I posted about this a while back but now that I know my HS, I have some information on the strength and conditioning class. It is considered a “class” meaning that it’s not just the baseball team lifting at once, you can be lifting with football, soccer, etc players. In the description, it says it included “olympic lifting” which I have read into and from what I’ve grasped, it’s better to stay away from especially for baseball. I haven’t physically matured yet and don’t want to hurt myself with olympic lifting. I’m finally over an elbow injury that resulted in a surgery so my main priority is keeping healthy. If I drop the class, my second option would be to work with a VERY well known baseball specific strength and conditioning coach (trains lots of pro guys and top HS players). He went through something similar that I went through and his main goal is to keep the athletes healthy. He has tons of credentials and experience. Only downside is it would be $300+ a month (we are already going to be paying for a private school) and is a bit of a drive. I believe some other HS players in our area will skip their HS program to train with him. Even if I keep the class, I plan to train with him this summer. Thoughts on what I should do?
