"You Cannot Reach your potential unless your body has reached its potential"

The goal of our strength program is to condition our bodies in order to prevent injury and help us reach our best self.

Resistance band Shoulder Training

Nothing can ruin a baseball season like a nagging shoulder injury. Strength work is our number one form of preventative care. When using therobands keep these tips in mind: Deceleration is key, always keep the shoulder in a strong position. Do not sag shoulder. When working across body, use a hand or towel to keep your elbow off of your body, this is to keep the shoulder from sagging.

Below are some great resources to start your band resistance training!
