Training for baseball is a long and complicated process. My schedule is an example: Lift three times a week, hit once a week, and fall games three days a week. All aspects of this training are important but in order to improve talent, lifting is vital. When I lift I listen to music that motivates me, like when a song gets to the crescendo or the most intense part of the song. I believe that in order to be able to deal with this schedule, I always have to have the same motivated attitude. There can't be a nuance in me whatsoever, because the goal is to play at a high level of baseball. One of the places I workout at is called Excel. What makes this place so great and convenient is that it is adjoined to a dome so I can lift then take ground balls and throw. Practice, Practice, Practice is obviously so important for baseball players. I am meticulous at everything because just the slightest mechanical problem can lead to many mistakes. Repetition is the basis for everything I do, and that is the deciding factor on whether I do well or not. Another good reason to like this time of year is that I usually get new equipment. I store my old bats in a capacious room next to my garage, and look for new bats and cleats. The winter is the second most important season for baseball because preparation can equal big time success.
