Welcome to the first edition of Athlete Spotlight. We will find examples of serious athletes and trainers staying in shape. And we will post them here to give new ideas and inspiration from their workouts.
With Spring Training a little less than a month away, we thought we would show you a glimpse of the off-season training that an MLB athlete goes through. Courtesy of Stack TV, this video shows Philadelphia Phillies shortstop and 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins doing some warm-ups and speed drills with his coach, Aaron Sistruck.
The point of the exercises on display is to improve body control, and based on the success Jimmy Rollins has had on the field, these exercises have to be pretty effective. So get out there and add these to your workout to get a speed and power boost!
