How we train

Professional players train six days a week. We train once or twice. The shape of the year is the same though: build in winter, sharpen in spring, stay fresh through the season.

Club sessions are for what needs a team: live hitting, fielding, throwing to bases. My plan covers the rest: build your own week, or have one made for your position and time.
