Baseball Conditioning Drills

with David Ohton, San Diego State University Strength and Conditioning Director Learn how David Ohton teaches the San Diego State baseball team speed, flexibility, and conditioning. After complete discussion and demonstration of the Aztec warm up and flexibility drills, Ohton shares the endurance building running program they use. The program that is used at San Diego State starts with a cardio program, then works into an intermediate program, competition period, and ends with the "showtime" period. Each of these steps will cover between 2-3 weeks and build each athlete's endurance, speed, and running form. This will gradually work your athletes into top shape. Finally, Ohton diagrams the agility drills that he uses to help each athlete reach their potential. Over 20 different baseball-specific agility drills are shown. The flexibility program, conditioning program, and agility drills are ideal for a team setting or for individual player workouts.
