Summer Ball Coming To A Close

This summer has been quite the grind, and with a week to go with the Bandits 17U squad, I figured today's topic was appropriate.  Any player reading this can feel it; fatigue.  For most of you, you've been playing since the fall, whether it be fall ball or individual work, and have continued up to this point.  That's a solid 10 months of baseball.  Now that your season has either finished, or is about to finish, I want you to do one thing for me...Take some time off.  Take the next 2 weeks to be a kid.  Go out with your friends, go down the shore, kick your feet up, and RELAX!
You guys have absolutely earned it. Once those two weeks are up, it's time to get back in the weight room and start pushing towards next season.  You guys have an opportunity every off season to make yourselves above and beyond what you were this past season.  If you get in the weight room in the middle of August, and continue through the fall, winter, and early spring, you will see gains in all areas of your game.  For now, I want to say excellent work to ALL of you who have pushed through the aches and pains of another long season.  Take some time to enjoy the last month of the summer.  When break time is over, I'll be waiting for you in the weight room...
