Baseball Strength Speed and Power

We train teams, small groups and individuals.

We also have a batting cage and turf available for skills practices.

We will focus on the field specific aspects of speed such as lateral quickness for middle infielders, out of the box speed, breaking on the ball speed, and first step quickness. 60 yard dash work can be addressed.
Regarding the throwing arm, exercises that target the rotator cuff, such as a variety of internal and external rotation movements will be utilized. Scapular strength and stability will also be addressed. Since the bicep also plays a role in stabilizing this joint, it too will be strengthened.
Core stability and rotational power, when combined with the above work, leads to a more powerful throwing arm that is less apt to become injured.
A special concern to pitchers includes the maintenance and strengthening of the rotator cuff. Large amounts of energy are absorbed by the body as the hand releases the pitch. This stress should be transferred to the stronger scapular stabilizers rather than the rotator cuff. Training this area together with certain plyometric moves, direct cuff work, and closed chain movements reduces the incidence of injury and strengthens the throwing arm.

“I thought the Strength, Fitness And Speed program really helped me learn how to train like a pro athlete”
-Tom Shirley

I first came across Strength, Speed and Fitness when I was the head baseball coach at Kiski Area.  At that time I was astounded at the progress the players that trained with them made in the short period of time they had worked with them.  As each of the players became faster, stronger and more agile, their level of play and their self-confidence greatly improved.I am presently the head baseball coach at Belle Vernon Area.  Once again I am seeing the benefits of their program in the 12 players that are regularly working under them.  Their improvement has been so significant that other players on our teams (middle school up) are taking notice.  In fact, no less than seven players and their parents have approached me to get information on their program to make arrangements to begin working with them at the conclusion of our current season.

As a former professional baseball scout and a former college coach, I highly recommend their program for any players wanting to increase their chances of playing at the next level.

Soccer athlete observations and Training

6 things my staff and I notice with soccer athletes over the last 21 years:

1) Everyone could use some more strength. All else aside, more strength makes you flat out more athletic. Power is your ability to recruit strength in a hurry and is a requirement during sprinting. Power also helps during cutting, jumping and kicking. Strength and stability keeps you from getting knocked off of the ball.

2) The athletes could use some more oblique and abdominal strength, stability and power. Your lower abdomen provides the anchor from which all movement can occur. This helps when you are kicking, jumping or sprinting. Have you ever watched a player run fast without the ball and look like he or she is speed skating? This tends to happen a lot with soccer. Sometimes it is motor and is a result of elbows that are flailing to the outside but more often it is the hips that are rotating. Force generated by the hip flexors and powerful arm action can’t be controlled by the body’s secondary rotational stabilizer, the obliques.  This produces a roll in the hips, a zigzag foot strike pattern and arm action that belongs on the ice, not on the soccer field.

3) Many of the players use a crossover step to move laterally without the ball instead of an open step. Takes longer and is inefficient in moving short distances.

4) Many athletes do not dorsiflex(pull the toes up) at the ankle during planting and during the recovery phase of sprinting. This is sometimes not a natural occurrence, particularly with soccer players who must point their toes to kick! As the shin swings forward right before ground contact, a nice dorsiflexed ankle provides a shorter lever at the knee(easier to turn over) as well a more efficient ground contact in line with the hips, not in front of the hips. Dorsiflexed ankles also send a warning to the knee joint and hip joint that they need to be ready to fire in advance.

5)Many players have a false step that wastes time and is inefficient.

6)Many players overstride as witnessed by a late recovery  evidenced by the foot finishing “high” when observed from the rear. This is “braking” actually.

Contact us to fix these issues.

Ed,

“I wanted to thank you for the work you and the other trainers have done with my children.  They both play soccer and this training was perfect for them.  When my son first came to you he was fast, but he ran out of control.  You not only improved his speed, but greatly increased the control he runs under.  His lateral movement and change of direction have improved tremendously.  This has enabled him to play his position with the speed and agility needed.  My daughter has also increased her speed and has become a stronger player.  She played her first game since last fall last weekend and other parents were commenting on how much faster she is now.  It is that noticeable.  They will be continuing with the program.  I am so pleased with their progress that I am having my youngest daughter begin the training.”

Again, thanks for your efforts.

Sincerely,

Patrick Maloney

Q: What is meant by capping power leaks?

A: Power leaks occur when transferring power from legs to hands. Through core, balance, mechanical, and mental improvements we teach how to facilitate this transfer.

Soccer athlete observations and Training

6 things my staff and I notice with soccer athletes over the last 15 years:

1) Everyone could use some more strength. All else aside, more strength makes you flat out more athletic. Power is your ability to recruit strength in a hurry and is a requirement during sprinting. Power also helps during cutting, jumping and kicking. Strength and stability keeps you from getting knocked off of the ball.

2) The athletes could use some more oblique and abdominal strength, stability and power. Your lower abdomen provides the anchor from which all movement can occur. This helps when you are kicking, jumping or sprinting. Have you ever watched a player run fast without the ball and look like he or she is speed skating? This tends to happen a lot with soccer. Sometimes it is motor and is a result of elbows that are flailing to the outside but more often it is the hips that are rotating. Force generated by the hip flexors and powerful arm action can’t be controlled by the body’s secondary rotational stabilizer, the obliques.  This produces a roll in the hips, a zigzag foot strike pattern and arm action that belongs on the ice, not on the soccer field. 

3) Many of the players use a crossover step to move laterally without the ball instead of an open step. Takes longer and is inefficient in moving short distances.

4) Many athletes do not dorsiflex(pull the toes up) at the ankle during planting and during the recovery phase of sprinting. This is sometimes not a natural occurrence, particularly with soccer players who must point their toes to kick! As the shin swings forward right before ground contact, a nice dorsiflexed ankle provides a shorter lever at the knee(easier to turn over) as well a more efficient ground contact in line with the hips, not in front of the hips. Dorsiflexed ankles also send a warning to the knee joint and hip joint that they need to be ready to fire in advance.

5)Many players have a false step that wastes time and is inefficient.

6)Many players overstride as witnessed by a late recovery  evidenced by the foot finishing “high” when observed from the rear. This is “braking” actually.

A note from Ed

I just wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for your support.

Whether you’ve been a client for years, a fan of our newsletter, or are just finding out about us for the first time, we’re honored to have you as a member of our community. Every day that we get to help you or your student athlete to become better  is truly a privilege.

Our plans for 2013 and beyond are very exciting. We’ll be expanding and remodeling our Pleasant Hills location, introducing an “open gym” membership concept, and increasing the knowledge and development of our already amazing coaches. Everything we do is geared towards helping you achieve your goals. The beauty of it is that it comes natural to all of us because it is indeed our passion.

Finally, even though I’ll be spending less time on the training floor after 5 PM due to my hectic very early morning and afternoons, I’ll be continuing to share my ideas on training through my coaches, the blog and other media channels. And that’s just for starters…

On behalf of everyone who works here: Thank you. We wouldn’t be here without you and we’ve been keenly aware of that for the last 14 years.

Best wishes to you and your family,

Ed

LOOKING FOR QUALITY OR LOOKING FOR CHEAP??

There is a danger of sports performance training becoming performed by unqualified, inexperienced individuals. There is also a danger that it will be about the cheapest price and easiest access.

Take a look at who you are training with and your group size.

Are you doing what everyone else in the class is doing even though they have different goals and individual needs?

Did you have  a needs analysis performed?

Beware of a cheaper training facility because it is usually coming with a price. The price being lack of credentials and individual customized attention. Not to mention lack of tracking workouts with no plan and no vision.

Cheap can actually come with a higher cost than quality.

Strength, Fitness And Speed Athletes enjoy the following benefits:

Why is Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. the leader in Sports Performance Training since 1998?  

The primary reason is that we know a template based program just does not fit every athlete’s needs. Systems developed in the 1980’s are no longer cutting edge. One standardized system cannot cover individual physiological differences in age, maturity and gender. Here are some more: 

1. Individualized and scientifically designed & time tested training programs

All of our programs are created by Ed Wietholder, well known speed and sports performance coach to numerous athletes across Pennsylvania. These are developed in conjunction with his head performance coaches and are based on the results of the athlete’s assessment, not what a chart or protocol may call for. Ed and his staff are well aware that each individual is unique and that programs must be designed for each individual’s physiology, gender and sport. One size does not fit all.  

2. A Functional assessment

You need a map to tell you where you are going. You need a starting point and the best route to reach your destination. We take baseline measures so that we can measure the routine’s effectiveness over time. Resisted and assisted work is extremely reinforcing to the nervous system. Corrective strength and nervous system reeducation are in order for most athletes at the initiation of their program before habits are reinforced.  

3. Individual tracking and ongoing fine tuning and progression

Every athlete has his or her own private database in which each workout is tracked and reevaluated over time. Athletes change and so does the workout stimulus. We have records for our athletes from the time that they are in grade school through college!  

4. Guaranteed personal attention from the coach

Athletes train in one on one settings unless specified by the athlete. We perform small group training if the athlete wishes to train with a group of teammates or friends with similar goals. We perform assessments on each individual in the group and we recommend whether or not the athletes should form a group or not. Quality before quantity!  

5. Fully functional facilities without the fluff!

Each of our facilities are 3,000 – 5,000 square feet with sprint tracks, agility areas, half basketball court (Irwin), strength training areas, and core training areas. Our facilities are equipped with all that you need for a fully functional, no nonsense training session.  

6. An open line of communication with the Sports Performance Director

Any questions parents or athletes have regarding training can be answered via email, in person, or the telephone. This gives the athletes and parents the opportunity to better understand the program and outcomes.

7. We are continuously improving and adding to our knowledge base

We strive to always offer our clients the best of what’s available in the sports performance, health and fitness industries. Current trends are evaluated and implemented if deemed appropriate.

Strength, Fitness And Speed, Inc. gets you off of the bench and into the game!
