Off-season Workouts

haha find some time to work in the cage Sam

Find somebody to work with such as the guys at strikes. It is not that taxing and can keep your form where it needs to be. If your swing is still good, it doesn't take much time to get your timing down.

frankdog8, You have a PM.

our coach's son played a few years ahead of me and was a three sport athlete. he now plays at iowa and our coach said that the iowa coach was impressed by the fact that his son could mangage his time so he still had an outstanding baseball career. basically, even though basketball regionals and sectionals run through early season workouts, our coach encourages us to play multiple sports.

These are for your coach and any other coach who encourages 3 sport athletes. Real Athletes! Lottich before Dustin as well.......

If HS coaches could only get thier **** together then 2 and 3 sports would be an option many more would take.

Its amazing to me that a Bobby Bowden or Pete Carroll can deal with this "problem" but the HS dudes can't.

Competitors compete! That's what they do. We encourage all of our kids to play multiple sports IF THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT. We run a conditioning program all fall and winter. However, it is not mandatory and any coach/school that makes it so, is in violation of IHSA Policy. I do know of programs that skirt the rules and get those "experts" to run year round practices. A kid gets 4 years of high school. I think it is a shame that some of those kids feel such pressure to specialize. Heck, they are putting all of their eggs in one basket. Most of my kids play at least 2 sports. This year, I'm coaching 3 sports. We will be fine when the year starts. Its my job to get these kids ready WHEN OUR SEASON STARTS. JMHO!
