The Unfortunate Side of Sports
I shared some information earlier this evening with a few posters on here privately, and I wish I could share more publicly, but I don't believe that I can do so due to health privacy. I know I have not been a frequent poster for some time, so while there are plenty who surely know who I am, I'm sure there are others who do not. So real quickly, I am a Certified Athletic Trainer working at the high school level. I have been a member here for close to 10 years I believe and I've read a lot of...

Interference with Stalker Sport 2
Has anyone had any experience with things interfering with the readings on a Stalker Sport 2? I've been using mine in my basement where I have fluorescent lighting and I'm getting lower readings than I've gotten on my college coaches gun. I know the manual says fluorescent lighting can cause interference but wasn't sure how much it affects it. Thanks

Multi sports
Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I'm just reaching out to the community if anyone currently or had similar experiences. My son is a HS freshman and plays multi sports. We let him play the sports he likes, but his always been passionate with track field and baseball since middle school. Just a little background, he is well rounded kid , on top of his academics, and plays HS orchestra. His track and field events are 200, 400, LJ, TJ and HJ and made district meets. If it goes well he hopes to get...

The Dick Birmingham Memorial Sports Complex
“The Birm” – features 6 full baseball fields of various age appropriate sizes for players ages 7-18, including 3 outdoor batting cages, newly renovated fields, fences, and dugouts. The Birm also offers delicious concessions, clean restrooms, large pavilions for parents and spectators, and a Marucci Pro Shop…but The Birm isn’t just another concrete filled cookie cutter park. We undertook the ambitious project of saving and restoring this classic baseball complex for the enjoyment of...

Re: Interference with Stalker Sport 2
Yes, the Stalker Sport 2 seems to read about 1.0-1.5 MPH slower at 80+ MPH in our experience compared to a Stalker 2 Pro (the main scout gun these days). I've tested these products in so many different ways anyone else would go insane (various JUGS, Stalkers, Trackmans, Rapsodos, etc). We have industrial fluorescent lighting but I'm not actually sure that's the issue. I think the Stalker 2 Pro is just a better / hotter gun.

Re: Interference with Stalker Sport 2
That is fantastic to hear! (said the dad whose son's recent readings have all been with a Stalker Sport )

Re: Interference with Stalker Sport 2
I'd say 1 MPH is a bit high. Sometimes it's dead on. The average overall is probably slightly below 1 MPH. We gunned a pro pitcher with our Stalker Sport 2 and he sat 92-94 but when we had the same gun on him for scouts, he was sitting 93-95 on the Stalker Sport 2 and 94-96 touching 97 on the Stalker Pro 2. So there's a difference, but it MIGHT only be important at 90+ MPH. It may read 70-75 MPH just fine. I am not sure.

Re: Multi sports
If you search you will find threads on playing multiple sports. My son played varsity soccer and baseball. He thought he was going to play varsity basketball after being the starting point guard on the freshman team. The varsity coach cut him from the program for never making “optional” workouts or playing summer basketball. The coach said he didn’t have enough time to put the proper focus on a third sport. In the summer he played travel baseball and attended a high end goalie day camp. In...

Re: Multi sports
Welcome to the forum. Yes, I would say most regulars here have had similar experience. Regarding multiple sports in HS, it is great to let them play the sports that they enjoy. Whether multiple sports is realistic or not and for how long depends on the talent of the student athlete, the size, strength and depth of the HS program and whether the sports cross over at the same time of year. HS sports usually demand full commitment at least to one sport at a time. Excelling in HS sports usually...

Re: Multi sports
RJM and CABBAGEDAD thank you all for the reply , and taking your time. You both are very helpful! Will just have to go through and see how far both sports goes and try our best judgement when it is time to decide which one. I'll continue digging post about multi sports. This forum is amazing.

Re: Multi sports
My son also plays multiple sports. He is a junior this year. Just this year he dropped basketball from his list of soccer and baseball. He has always played 3 sports. We found that basketball was the least favorite if he had to drop one and he has focused much of his winter season working on increasing his strength and focusing on pitching. It all depends on which one he sees himself at when it comes time to think about playing at a higher level. I have watched my son grow in both soccer and...

Re: Multi sports
Welcome. Good news: He is doing sports that require explosive development which translates well to baseball. Bad news: They are doing the same time of the year, and as far as my understanding on track it requires most of a full day to hang out for your heats. If he has national level skills in track he could keep up track and play summer ball to keep his baseball skills up in case he is one of the rare kids who could do both in college, or more likely he will probably have to chose one or...

Re: Multi sports
Baseball and track together will not work in college. The seasons conflict. The few college multi sport athletes generally play one sport in the fall and one in the spring. Usually football in the fall and baseball or track in the spring.

Like anything in life, the greater you are the more options you have. Billy Hamilton 6.1-6.2 sixty types can do track & Baseball in college. If they insisted on it in the recruiting process, there would be a D1 that would step up and make it happen. for most mere mortals? No chance

Re: The Unfortunate Side of Sports
Very good, thank you for posting. While I am assuming these were actual accidents, that fortunetly doesn't happen too often but when it does its devastating. I have to tell you, I am amazed at how many people come to post here about their players injuries, and they haven't even reached college yet. I have been here for a long time and it seems like its rampid. Some of these minor injuries can turn into a lifelong problem. Athletes seldom feel 100 % healthy and it beginning sooner while they...
