Baseball
Baseball is as specific a sport as it gets, so speed needs to be trained just as specifically. Linear and multi-directional speed that’s tested, trained, and tracked are what shows up on the field.
Sport applications
Whether it’s stealing a bag or scoring from second, use specific horizontal loading to build an athlete’s acceleration. For both linear and curvilinear speed, resist and quantify these movement patterns for development that transfers.
Fielding demands quick reactions in every direction. Train multi-directional speed under specific and measurable load.
Bat speed and throwing velocity come from the same rotational movement pattern. Load and measure this rotational power directly to build the qualities that produce velocity.
The throwing shoulder needs to be intentionally prepared to handle the forces it experiences on every throw. Quantify strength and symmetry of the shoulder to help keep players on the field.
From the coaching floor
“After using the 1080 Sprint for over seven years, it’s an essential part of my coaching arsenal. It allows me to influence sprint mechanics through load and identify asymmetries in both healthy and return-to-play athletes. I can individualize training, challenge athletes in unique ways, and be creative in the pursuit of better performance.”
