How do you know when your training program has been a success? When you go into the season with stats like these. Over the past 8 weeks our Elite White Sox Fastpitch Travel Teams have been doing work.
As a team they:
Reduced their 10 yard dash time by just under two tenths of a second.
Reduced their 5-10-5 Agility Sprint by just over three tenths of a second.
Increased their Vertical Jump by 1.25 inches
Increased their bat speed by 9.2 MPH
Increased their arm speed by 3.2 MPH
Notable standouts:
Increases in Bat Speed of 18 MPH, 17 MPH and 14 MPH.
Increases in Arm Speed of 11 MPH.
How would it feel to end you off-season on Thursday knowing that the work you just completed has translated to the exact skills you are going to need to demonstrate to your coach during tryouts on Monday?
Side note: No one lost their lunch or was miserable during the training. Everyone enjoyed it and looked forward to attending. How does your program stack up?
