Typically, our in-season sessions take 20-25 minutes TOTAL, twice per week. Everyone has time for this.
I think Jon is spot on with this. Twice a week is fine to maintain. Sometimes my son gets it in and sometimes he does not. Earlier in the bskball season (Oct/Nov) he was getting the weight work in consistently, now that we are getting closer to baseball and bsktball is playing league, the throwing and hitting take priority. Just part of the balancing act.
For example this week.
Sun - Threw LT, bullpen, batting prac.(2 hours)
M - 3-5 PM basketball practice
T - 6AM basketball practice, 2-3:30 PM baseball practice (will get in weight work/medicine ball work with baseball team)
W - bsktball game PM
Th - 6AM bsktball practice, 2-3:30PM long toss and bullpen
Fr - basketball game PM
Sat - Baseball game 10-2, (long scrimmage)
He might make it to the weight room on Sunday and he might not. Would be a better athlete if he could hit the weights every day, of course, but there is more to life than sports....oh yea there is homework, housework, church, hang with his friends after the Friday game (to bed early because of baseball game Sat), and maybe playing a little guitar in between.
Bulldog is right he could get it in if he really wanted to, but I don't think this makes for a balanced life with his schedule right now. Once baseball season starts he will get in two-a-week weights, but not more.
