Can anyone recommend a good baseball specific sports trainer and nutritionist? This will be our first summer to no be working with the football summer program.

If your kid is a pitcher, and self motivated, I recommend getting Tom House' book, Fit to Pitch and start from there.
If your kid is a self starter, he can follow the book. If he is a normal teenager and needs a little guidance, the book can give you a strong base of knowledge as you consider trainers and training plans.

Thanks. I have the book it is great. I want a trainer to insure he is working out correctly. He is self motivated but has a football mentality (more or heavier is better). I cannot be there all the time so need someone familiar with baseball workouts to help. Thanks for the post.
Try Tim LaMonte. I believe he's a certified trainer. He's been giving my son hitting lessons for years and really plays up the training/nutrition/physiology side of baseball.
Marty Stajduhar 817-545-9793- focuses heavily on the shoulder and very interesting man, I believe he was the head trainer for the Rangers back in the day.
Mike Macko- At the Ben Hogan Center in FW 817-810-7500.

I too recommend Tim LaMonte. I've been around Tim for the last three years and he knows how to approach fitness and nutrition as it relates to baseball. He teaches the full package. While you're at it, he's GREAT with hitters. PM me if you'd like his contact information.
Tim has coached my son for the last 2 years and he does a great job with fitness,nutrition as well as coaching baseball.
I have not been on here in forever, but a friend said that my name was being bantered around a bit, and I got curious. I am flattered by all of the kind comments. I am a certified Kettlebell and Mobility coach, and would love to talk to you about what your needs are, but to be honest, my brother is really better than me and has more time for one on one training. His name is Ben LaMonte, he is also a certified strength coach in Kettlebells, Mobility, and barbells. Plus you will not meet anyone more versed in nutrition. If you are interested, you can go to www.intheboxathletics.com and learn more and get contact info.
Thanks again for all the kind words.

Athletes' Performance is a great place for training and nutrition. They can do 1:1 or put him in a group setting. A lot of pro baseball players train with them in the off-season. Torii Hunter being one of them.
They are located inside Fieldhouse USA in Frisco. Top notch facilities and Trainers.

Tim---You've done an awesome job with both of our 21s!
Julian Holguin at Crull Fitness in Richardson (campbell rd/ central expressway area)is very good at speed training/core strength and muscle specific training for baseball. He works with a number of high school baseball players every week. i have witnessed first hand significant and rapid improvement with several players, both in speed and strength. he has all of the relevant certifications. there are a number of highly - qualified trainers in the area and Julian is one of them. Good luck. let me know if you need Julian's contact info and i will get it and send it to you.
