The most important task there is as a coach is communication with the athlete. Personal, one-on-one interaction allows the athlete to understand the whys and hows of what he or she is being asked to do; it gives purpose to your training and keeps you motivated to progress.
Communication is also how coaches come to learn the unique personal requirements that each athlete demands. This attention ensures a custom program tailored to fit you.
Performance tracking devices such as powermeters, heart rate monitors, and GPS, combined with the software that allows them to be tracked and analyzed have revolutionized the way athletes train and coaches coach.
Colt Training Systems not only uses these metrics to perfect your training but helps make sense of the data so that you too can understand the trends and make the most of the numbers on a day-to-day basis.
Working with a coach is the ultimate commitment to achieving your athletic goal. The relationship creates a powerful bond wherein your priorities become our priorities, and our success is directly linked to your own.

'LS' stands for long and slack, but that's sort of like naming a fat guy Tiny. Believe it or not, the Ripley LS has the shortest reach in the test, and is the second steepest. Even the XL, which we tested, with its reach of 448 millimeters, is still shorter than the majority of our size-large bikes this year. The wheelbase is one of the shortest as well. Maybe LS should stand for light and speedy. It would be a lot more accurate. After all, the Ripley feels lighter and accelerates quicker than most bikes operating outside World Cup XC course tape. It makes sense, since the blueprint for what became the Ripley was a race bike with 100 millimeters of travel and 26-inch wheels. The dual eccentric links were utilized specifically to pull off the most lightweight and compact version of a dw-link platform.
When the Ripley wound up being a 120-millimeter 29er, it was always intended as a trail bike with cross-country speed, and it's owned that identity better than nearly anything else on the market. With each update, the Ripley finds its way onto rowdier terrain while constantly straddling the course tape. The latest version got two main improvements: wider, stiffer, more reliable eccentrics and increased tire clearance to fit the new breed of 2.6-inch rubber.
The Ripley still rips up climbs the way it always has, but now with improved traction thanks to Schwalbe's 2.6-inch tires. We upgraded our build with a pair of Ibis 942 carbon hoops, a worthwhile investment for those looking to maximize acceleration. Testers especially appreciated the upgrade on the multiple punchy, technical climbs on our test loops. This is where the Ripley's hover-board effect shines as well, allowing the rider to go full-gas through junk with no noticeable bob, squatting or loss of suspension activity under power.
The tires offer increased traction and reduced trail noise, but the Schwalbes flatted easily under our testers, who'd be better off with a tougher offering. Aggressive riders might also consider Ibis' 800-millimeter-wide bar, though that won't make the Ripley duck the tape. With a skilled pilot, the Ripley will descend just as fast as other bikes in the category, but if you're looking for point-and-shoot, this isn't it. The Ripley is agile and precise—point it toward a line and it'll go there, but lose focus and it'll bite you in the ass. If you're looking at the Ripley, it's worth throwing a leg over the Trek Fuel EX as well. It has a similar XC-rooted feel, but is a touch less efficient on climbs and a touch more confident when gravity takes over.
Q&A with Scot Nicol, Ibis Cycles founder
Compared to the previous Ripley, the LS is longer and slacker, but size to size, it's shorter than any other bike in this year's Bible. What's the deal with that? Has the long reach trend gone too far? Would lengthening the front end cause the Ripley to take on unwanted handling characteristics?
We are big fans of the long reach bikes for more aggressive riding. One of those longer reach bikes you mention in your test is the Mojo HD4, which is what our EWS team is racing on this year. However, we don’t think every bike out there needs to be an EWS shredder. If we were to lengthen the front end any more on the Ripley, we’d also want to up the travel and reach (see the next question for a comment on the travel). One of the other changes we’ve seen recently is a lowering of the seat tube, so we can accommodate longer and longer droppers. A side benefit of this is that people can move up a frame size to gain a longer reach, without compromising standover.
Many of the good ol' 120 29ers we loved have been updated to 130 millimeters of travel—we can think of a several off the top of our head. You kept the Ripley at 120 millimeters of travel. How come?
We’ve squeezed as much travel out of the dual eccentric system as we can. If we wanted to give it more travel, we’d need to either reduce the size of the eccentrics (so we could put them closer together), or we could lengthen the chainstay. Neither of those is practical. More travel in this platform would require a change to the more traditional links like what you find on the Mojo line. We’re still blown away by how capable the Ripley is, and it’s a 120-millimeter bike!
What's the most aggressive setup you've tried on the Ripley? Like, would it be cool to run it with a longer fork and a coil shock, or would that be getting too far outside the bike's designed purpose?
A lot of people run a 140 fork on the Ripley, and we’ve approved it for that length fork. Coil is a no no for a couple reasons. Mainly it’s because the dw-link is designed very deliberately for the progressive curve of an air shock.
How did Ibis update the Ripley's eccentric links? Can you quantify any sort of performance or serviceability improvement from the change?
The V3 Ripley update is mainly about 2.6-inch tire compatibility (which we love on that bike). Frame design is always a puzzle of optimization, and wider tires means reduced cross sections in the chainstay, with possible lowering of the rear end stiffness. People love the stiffness of the Ripley and we did not want to compromise that. So along with that tire clearance change, we made the upper eccentric the same width as the bottom one, gaining stiffness. Overall, despite the change in cross section of the chainstay, the Ripley V3 stiffness is maintained, even though we’ve gained significant tire clearance.

Ever watch a Major League Baseball game and marvel at the speed of those fastballs? Well, strap in because we’re about to dive deeply into pitching! We’re not talking about those professional athletes, though; no, we’re focusing on you, the average Joe.
How fast do you think you can throw a baseball? 30 mph? 50 mph? 100 mph? Well, let’s put those wild guesses aside. The average adult male can throw a baseball at speeds ranging from 45 to 65 miles per hour (mph).
Get your gloves ready, and let’s unfold this mystery together. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a casual catch player, or simply curious, we’ve got all the information you need to understand and improve your throw.
The Factors that Affect Baseball Throwing Speed
Have you ever wondered what affects the speed at which a baseball is thrown? Buckle up because we’re about to delve into the science behind the swing!
Physical Strength and Conditioning
The power of your throw is majorly influenced by your physical strength, particularly in your upper body.
A strong, well-conditioned arm can whip a baseball at impressive speeds. But remember, it’s not just about the arm – your core, hips, and legs play an integral role too.
Technique and Skill
While strength is important, technique reigns supreme in determining the speed of your throw. The art of throwing a baseball involves a complex sequence of movements that, when executed correctly, can add significant velocity to your pitch.
Age and Experience
It’s no secret that age and experience affect how fast you can throw a baseball. As you gain experience, your technique improves, potentially increasing your throwing speed. However, physical strength can decline with age, which may affect speed.
Last but not least, the equipment used can influence the speed of your throw. The baseball’s weight, size, and grip, coupled with the right type of glove, can either hinder or enhance your throwing speed.
So, as you can see, various factors come into play when throwing a baseball. It’s not simply a matter of who can throw the hardest but who can master the combination of strength, skill, experience, and equipment.
When considering the right equipment for young athletes, one might wonder, “What size baseball bat for an 8-year-old?” It’s crucial to match the bat size to the player’s age and strength to ensure they’re not only comfortable but also competitive on the field.
Is Age a Factor in Baseball Throwing Speed?
When it comes to baseball, age is more than just a number. It can significantly impact the speed.
Have you ever wondered if age has a significant role in how fast a baseball can be thrown? The answer is yes, it does! Age is an essential factor that can influence baseball throwing speed.
The Role of Age: An Overview
As one ages, the body undergoes physical changes that can increase or decrease baseball throwing speed. In baseball, age is often looked at in terms of ‘peak age’ and ‘decline age’.
Peak Age for Throwing Speed
The ‘peak age’ is typically considered in the early to mid-20s. This is generally when a person’s physical strength is at its highest, leading to greater baseball throwing speed. To put it simply, the young blood tends to throw faster!
Decline Age: A Slowdown in Speed
On the other hand, the ‘decline age’ often begins around the late 30s. As the body ages, muscle mass decreases, and joints may become stiffer. This, in turn, could potentially limit the speed at which a baseball can be thrown.
Ages in Between: The Balancing Act
Now, what about the ages in between? Well, it’s all about balance. While physical strength might not be at its peak, experience and technique often make up for it.
So, a player in their 30s might not throw as fast as they did in their 20s, but they may better understand how to use their body to maximize their throwing speed.
Remember, though, these are general observations, and the actual impact of age on baseball throwing speed can vary widely from person to person.
The Importance of Technique in Baseball Throwing Speed
For those who’ve ever watched a baseball game and marveled at the pitcher’s lightning-fast throw, it’s easy to think it’s all about brute strength.
However, the secret sauce of a speedy baseball throw lies primarily in the technique. Yes, you heard it right. The method is king when throwing a baseball at a high velocity.
The Science Behind the Throw
Throwing a baseball involves a complex interplay of biomechanics that, when executed correctly, can result in impressive throwing speeds. This isn’t just about the arm; it’s the entire body working harmoniously.
The legs, hips, torso, shoulder, and arm all participate in an intricate dance that, when choreographed perfectly, can send a baseball hurtling toward its target at incredible speeds.
Perfecting the Technique
Perfecting the technique requires understanding and mastering the kinetic chain – an idea that the body’s joints and segments act as chain links.
This chain starts from the ground, moves through the body, and ends in the fingertips holding the baseball. A weak link anywhere in this chain can reduce throwing speed and increase the risk of injury.
The Role of Practice
Even with the perfect technique, practice plays a crucial role in improving the speed of your throws. Like any other skill, throwing a baseball accurately and swiftly takes time, patience, and consistent effort.
Therefore, to throw a baseball more quickly, practice is just as important as perfecting the technique.
Can Strength Training Improve Baseball Throwing Speed?
Ever pondered the connection between strength training and baseball throwing speed? Well, it’s more significant than you might think! Strength training, particularly on the upper body, can improve a player’s baseball throwing speed.
The Science Behind It
Here’s the science: throwing a baseball involves a chain of energy transfer across multiple joints and muscles.
Hence, a stronger arm, shoulder, and core can generate greater force, leading to faster throws. It’s like revving up a car’s engine—the more potent the engine, the faster the car!
Strength Training Exercises
- Shoulder Press: This exercise can strengthen your deltoids and upper trapezius, muscles crucial for a powerful throw.
- Tricep Dips: Strong triceps can significantly boost your throwing speed by providing more push during the throw.
- Core Workouts: Don’t forget your midsection! Exercises like planks, sit-ups, and Russian twists can tighten your core, acting as your throws’ power source.
Remember, consistency is key. Regular strength training can lead to measurable improvements in your throwing speed over time.
A Word of Caution
Note: Always warm up appropriately before performing strength training to avoid injury. It’s equally important to maintain proper form throughout your exercises. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a professional trainer.
So, can strength training improve baseball throwing speed? The answer is a resounding ‘yes’. However, just like any sport, it requires commitment, proper technique, and much practice!
How to Measure Your Baseball Throwing Speed
So, you’re curious about how fast you can hurl that baseball, huh? Well, you’re in luck! There are a few simple ways you can measure your baseball throwing speed.
Using a Radar Gun
A radar gun is a popular tool used by coaches and scouts to measure the speed of a pitch. This device uses radio waves to calculate the speed of a moving object, like a baseball.
To use it, you aim the gun at the ball as it’s being thrown and read the speed on the device’s display.
Sporting Goods Stores
Many sporting goods stores have baseball pitching cages equipped with radar guns. You can use these cages to throw a few pitches and get an immediate readout of your pitching speed. Plus, it’s a great way to practice your throw!
Several mobile apps are available that can calculate the speed of a thrown ball. These apps use the camera on your phone to track the speed of the ball. They’re not quite as accurate as a radar gun, but they’re a good option if you want a rough estimate of your throwing speed.
If you’re serious about knowing your pitching speed, you may want to consider getting measured by a professional service.
These services use high-tech equipment to measure your throwing speed accurately and can provide you with a detailed analysis of your pitching technique.
Ultimately, it’s not just about how fast you can throw but also about technique, accuracy, and consistency. So, don’t get too hung up on the numbers. After all, baseball is a game meant to be enjoyed!
After a long day of practice or games, you might be tempted to expedite the drying process of your gear, but the question arises: “Can you put a baseball glove in the dryer?” Understanding the proper care for your baseball glove is essential to maintain its condition and longevity.
The Average Speeds of Various Baseball Players and Positions
Ever wonder how fast the average person can throw a baseball? Well, it’s not as simple as you might think. The speed at which an individual can throw a baseball varies greatly and is influenced by numerous factors.
First, consider the position of the player. Everyone on a baseball team has a unique role, often requiring different physical capacities.
- Pitchers: Known for their strong arms and fast pitches, professional pitchers often throw at speeds ranging from 70 to 100 miles per hour.
- Outfielders: These players, while still needing to throw long distances, typically don’t reach the same speeds, averaging between 60 and 80 miles per hour.
- Infielders Typically throw at lower speeds due to the shorter distances involved, averaging 60 to 75 miles per hour.
The Average Non-Player
The average person who doesn’t play baseball professionally or regularly can typically throw a baseball at speeds anywhere from 30 to 50 miles per hour. However, with practice and proper technique, these speeds can increase.
Gender and Age Factors
It’s also important to consider gender and age when discussing throwing speeds. On average, adult men tend to throw faster than adult women and younger players often throw faster than older ones.
However, there are always exceptions and individual performance can vary widely.
Training Makes a Difference
Finally, it’s worth noting that training and conditioning can significantly improve a person’s throwing speed.
Arm strength, hand-eye coordination, and proper throwing technique are all critical components of a fast pitch, and they can all be improved with practice and training.
How to Improve Your Baseball Throwing Speed: Tips and Exercises
Improving your baseball throwing speed is an attainable goal with the right approach. It involves a mix of targeted exercises, practice, and technique refinement. Here are some tips and exercises to get you started.
Like any sport, physical conditioning is key in baseball. Strength, flexibility, and endurance can significantly boost your throwing speed.
- Strength training: Focus on exercises strengthening your rotator cuff, shoulders, and core. These muscle groups are heavily involved in throwing a baseball.
- Flexibility exercises: Incorporate stretching exercises to enhance your arm’s mobility. Yoga and Pilates can be beneficial.
- Endurance training: Increase your stamina through cardiovascular exercises like running, swimming, or cycling.
Understanding and mastering the mechanics of a throw can contribute to a faster baseball pitch. Here’s what you need to do:
- Improve your grip: The ball should sit in your fingers, not deep in your palm.
- Master the wind-up: This is the initial pitch phase, where you generate the power for your throw.
- Follow through: Continue the motion after releasing the ball to avoid injury and add speed.
Practice Makes Perfect
Regular practice is a sure-fire way to enhance your baseball throwing speed. It helps build muscle memory, making your throws more automatic and accurate.
“The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.”
You’ll soon notice improvements in your baseball throwing speed with patience, perseverance, and regular training.
Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Keep throwing!
What’s the average throwing speed for a novice?
Ever tried throwing a baseball for the first time? It’s not as easy as it looks, right? The average speed for a raw beginner is around 45-65 mph. Not too shabby, eh?
Does age matter when it comes to throwing speed?
Do you think age has nothing to do with throwing speed? Think again! A young adult can typically throw faster than a child or an older adult, with the average speed ranging from 60-85 mph.
How does gender impact throwing speed?
Remember when we debunked the “throw like a girl” stereotype? On average, men throw faster than women, but it’s not a huge gap. The average speed for men is around 75 mph, while for women, it hovers around 60 mph. Again, practice makes perfect, folks!
What about professional baseball players?
Ever wonder what separates the pros from us mere mortals? A professional baseball player can throw a baseball upwards of 90 mph, with the fastest recorded pitch being a whopping 105.1 mph! Now that’s a fastball!
Does strength training increase throwing speed?
Thinking of pumping some iron to up your throwing speed? It might help, but not as much as you think. Strength training can improve your throwing speed, but technique and regular practice are far more important.
Does weight matter?
Do you think a heavier person can throw a baseball faster? Not necessarily. Weight can contribute to throwing speed, but it’s not the deciding factor. Strength, technique, and practice outweigh (pun intended) body weight.
Are there techniques to throw faster?
Looking for some tips to up your game? Sure thing! Improving your grip, your throw mechanics, and your overall physical conditioning can help increase your throwing speed.
Does the type of pitch affect the speed?
Ever heard of a fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup? These different pitches can have different speeds, with the fastball, as you might guess, being the fastest.
Can injuries affect throwing speed?
Had a tumble and worried it might affect your throw? Injuries, particularly to the arm or shoulder, can reduce your throwing speed. It’s always best to seek medical advice before returning to the mound.
Can anyone throw a baseball at 100 mph?
Dreaming of joining the 100 mph club? It’s possible but rare. Only a small fraction of professional players can throw this fast. A little dream never hurt anyone, right?
So, you fancy yourself a future MLB star, huh? Or maybe you’re just curious about how your throwing speed stacks up to the average Joe. Either way, it’s time to wrap our heads around this hot topic.
Watching those pro ball players on the TV effortlessly hurling balls at lightning speeds and feeling inadequate is easy. But remember, those guys are professionals! They’ve been perfecting their craft since they were probably no taller than the baseball bat.
The average throwing speed is noticeably (and understandably!) lower for the rest of us mere mortals. Your everyday adult male, for instance, can typically throw a fastball somewhere in the range of 60-65 mph.
Ladies, you’re not too far behind, with an average 40-45 mph speed. And the young ‘uns? Well, they’re typically around the 40 mph mark too.
But let’s not get too hung up on numbers here. Like any sport, baseball is about more than just how fast you can throw a ball.
It all comes down to control, accuracy, and strategy. What good is a 100 mph pitch if it ends up in the next county, right?
So, how about focusing on these aspects instead of fretting about your throwing speed?
- Perfect your technique: A good throwing technique can significantly improve your speed. So please spend some time polishing it.
- Work on your accuracy: It’s not all about speed. Being able to hit your target consistently is just as important.
- Develop a strategy: Knowing when and how to throw different types of pitches can be a game-changer.
In the grand scheme, how fast you can throw a baseball is just one piece of the puzzle. So, whether you’re hoping to impress your friends at the next backyard barbecue or aiming for the big leagues, remember baseball is a game of skill, strategy, and, most importantly, fun.
So go out there, give it your all, and enjoy every moment!

Nike Free Trainer 5.0
Nike Free Trainer 5.0 sketch; Laura Parrett designer
Tech sheet: Nike Free Trainer 5.0
The support and natural motion intuitive to training come to life in the men's Nike Free Trainer 5.0.
Adaptability is key to effective training. Scheduling, weather, location and coaching are constantly changing. Nike is focused on providing one constant – the best shoe for multi-sport training.
Designed as one of the most versatile training shoes, the men’s Nike Free Trainer 5.0 delivers lightweight comfort and supportive lockdown with a distinctive look for training in the gym, field or street.
Athletes must adapt to the ever-changing factors in training and evolving training footwear is no different. Nike designers are committed to constantly improving footwear to allow athletes to perform at their best. The evolved approach to maximizing the support and natural motion intuitive to training comes to life in the Nike Free Trainer 5.0.
While the woven upper has an eye-catching aesthetic, the shoe’s high-performance aptitude sets it apart. The dynamic fit moves with, adjusts to and supports the foot during the rigors of training.
Designers Laura Parrett and Jeff Rasmussen took inspiration from the Chinese finger trap device. Like the toy, the upper consists of intertwined bands that are soft and pliable. When the foot is at rest or moving forward or backward the bands are flexible and compliant. When pressure is applied with side-to-side movements the bands engage and tighten around the foot for enhanced support.
· Dynamic-fit technology for a glove-like fit
· Natural motion design to deliver a barefoot-like feel with resilient cushioning
· Aggressive rubber nodes on the sole that provide multi-surface traction

As an archer, understanding the importance of arrow weight distribution is crucial for improving your shooting performance. Optimal arrow weight distribution can enhance arrow balance, stability, and flight performance. By fine-tuning your arrows, you can achieve greater accuracy and consistency on the field.
Arrow weight distribution refers to the placement of weight throughout the arrow to optimize its balance and stability. Proper weight distribution can help to achieve optimal front-of-center balance and improve arrow spine, resulting in more consistent and accurate shots.
In this section, we will explore the different aspects of arrow weight distribution, including arrow balance, weight placement, and tuning techniques. We will also discuss how these factors impact arrow flight performance and how archers can optimize their arrows to achieve the best results.
- Arrow weight distribution is essential for improving archery performance.
- Optimal front-of-center balance can improve arrow stability and accuracy.
- Arrow spine can be optimized through weight distribution techniques.
- Understanding the principles of arrow balance and stability is crucial for tuning arrows.
- Fine-tuning your arrows can lead to greater accuracy and consistency on the field.
Key Principles of Arrow Weight Distribution
Understanding the key principles of Arrow Weight Distribution is crucial for archers looking to improve their shooting accuracy and consistency. Several factors such as arrow balance, stability, and weight distribution techniques contribute to arrow flight performance.
Arrow balance refers to the distribution of weight along the arrow shaft. Achieving optimal front-of-center balance, where the heaviest part of the arrow is in the front, can significantly enhance arrow stability. Fine-tuning arrow balance and weight placement can help eliminate arrow oscillation and improve accuracy.
One of the essential principles of Arrow Weight Distribution is mastering weight distribution techniques. Archers can use various methods such as weight inserts or wrapping the arrow shaft to achieve optimal arrow weight and balance. These techniques can help fine-tune arrow flight performance and ultimately improve accuracy and consistency.
“Optimizing arrow balance and weight distribution can help archers gain greater precision and consistency in their shots.”
Enhancing Arrow Flight Performance through Weight Distribution
In the quest for optimal Arrow Flight Performance, Weight Distribution plays a critical role. Front-of-Center balance is crucial for Arrow Stability and Accuracy. It is essential to understand that the Arrow’s front end should be proportionally heavier than the back end to achieve perfect Front-of-center balance.
Weight Distribution Techniques are essential for ensuring optimal arrow performance. Archers can fine-tune their arrows by adjusting the weight and placement of arrow components, such as point weight, nock weight, insert weight, and vane weight. These modifications can enhance arrow flight characteristics and improve shooting performance.
The Arrow Spine is another crucial aspect of Weight Distribution. Arrow spine refers to the stiffness of the Arrow Shaft, impacting how much the Arrow shaft bends when shot. With proper Arrow Spine, the Archery Equipment can be used to its full potential, improving shooting accuracy and consistency.
By exploring Front-of-Center Balance, Weight Distribution Techniques, and Arrow Spine, Archers can achieve improved Arrow Flight Characteristics and Overall Shooting Performance.
Arrow Weight Distribution is a crucial factor in achieving optimal performance in archery. By fine-tuning arrow balance, stability, and weight distribution techniques, archers can improve their accuracy and consistency on the field. Understanding the importance of front-of-center balance and arrow spine can help archers achieve optimal flight performance.
When it comes to arrow weight placement, proper tuning of arrow balance is essential. Achieving the optimal front-of-center balance can lead to improved stability and accuracy. By experimenting with different weight distribution techniques and understanding the concept of arrow spine, archers can customize their arrows to achieve the desired flight characteristics that align with their shooting style.
By incorporating these concepts into their practice and equipment setup, archers can elevate their overall shooting performance. So, if you are looking to enhance your archery skills, consider the principles of Arrow Weight Distribution and explore the various weight distribution techniques to achieve optimal arrow flight performance.

New VS Old Sports
New Sports, New Opportunities
The sporting landscape is changing.
As media consumption fragments and technology sparks an explosion in lifelogging the race is on to identify and engage with emerging communities of sports participants.
Traditional sports such as cricket have had to create new formats to address participation declines but in some sports, but the real news is the growth of new participation sporting concepts that offer brands new ways to connect with consumers.
A great example of a brand capitalising on this trend is Reebok, arguably the most innovative sponsor of the past decade when it comes to identify and aligning itself with emerging communities of fans and participants.
From spending hundreds of millions of dollars on sponsorship rights with the likes of NFL, MLB and NHL, Reebok has become focused on an area that had rarely attracted interest from broadcasters or sponsors – fitness.
A sizeable sponsorship deal with the emerging CrossFit craze led to partnerships with Spartan Race and Ragnar relay, extreme endurance events attracting communities of highly-engaged, digitally-connected athletes.
Reebok is not alone and a trend is emerging as a whole range of new sporting disciplines take hold offering something new to both participants and commercial interests.
Look at the rapid growth of Tough Mudder. According to its CEO twice as many people in the UK now take part in its events as run marathons and this has attracted not just a broadcast partnership with Sky Sports but sponsorship deals with established brands like Lucozade.
So what can brands do to take advantage? The clear opportunity is to move fast and get involved in these community-led movements as early as possible.
With technology fuelling the popularity of life-logging, mass participation sports are among the ones to watch with cycling and swimming joining running in seeing growth in alternative disciplines such as open water swimming.
As Reebok’s success in Crossfit has proven to the detriment of competitors including Nike, taking ownership of these trends can offer real and immediate commercial returns.

Hello Hitting Coaches Everywhere!
I’m so excited about my newest product, the Bat Drag Buster! We just assembled all of them, and are going to put them in the Baseball Rebellion Store on Thursday of next week. Here’s a quick video on Bat Drag and the many forms Bat Drag takes.
I created the product for kids, and it fits kids as small as 65 lbs and as large as me (I’m 240 LBS), but a few of my older students were in preparing for the draft or for summer ball the other day, and I put the Bat Drag Buster on them. They loved it! A beautiful unintended benefit of using the Bat Drag Buster is that it teaches my older players that do not have ‘bat drag’ to turn the barrel in a very powerful and efficient way. In just 20 minutes, one hitter, upped his max exit speed from 102 mph and a ‘normal high’ of 98-100mph to 105.2 mph and a ‘normal high’ of 102-104 mph. (normal high means any hard hit ball to the back of the cage).
These guys have Rebel’s Racks, they have Drive Developers, and they train with them daily. These future pros said, “This is the first time I’ve been able to really feel a proper upper body unit WITH the bat.”
Oh, did I forget to mention you can HIT in the Bat Drag Buster? AND the Bat Drag Buster the only Bat Drag product on the market that allows for full speed swings against full speed pitching. Other products on the market have a fixed rod between the elbows. While the rod makes bat drag impossible while you’re wearing the product, it promotes pushing the elbows together while swinging…the exact motion that causes bat drag! In addition, it is impossible to hit full speed pitches or take a full swing while wearing that product. Other ‘solutions’ for bat drag have not eliminated bat drag, which is the main reason kids can’t continue playing baseball past the Little League Level. Players on middle school teams that bat drag, are few and far between, and once you get to high school it’s even less likely and more detrimental to a hitter’s potential production. That’s why I created the Bat Drag Buster, because I have not seen a product that can ELIMINATE bat drag like the Bat Drag Buster can.
As with all of my products, you will get detailed videos in a log in/password form, that will teach you everything you need to know about the Bat Drag Buster like:
As an added bonus, we are OVERHAULING all the videos on www.drivedeveloper.com for the Drive Developer and Rebel’s Rack and changing them out with brand new drill videos, in HD. We will also add a few new drills to make your use of those products even better!
I haven’t been this excited about a product in a long time. I can’t wait for you to get your own Bat Drag Buster from the Baseball Rebellion Store! Thank you again for supporting the Baseball Rebellion. We are changing swings one hitter at a time!

What are the best exercises for osteoporosis? Exercises that increase bone density, strength and balance are key. Weight bearing exercises put stress on the bones. The good news is that bone density and strength can be increased at any age. Of course it's best to choose exercises that you enjoy or you can learn to enjoy or your motivation may likely wane.
After age 40 we lose muscle mass, which in turn slows down our metabolic rate and weakens bones. Ben Hurley, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Maryland states that Women in their 40s and men in their 60s lose muscle strength at a rate of about 12 % per decade. But you can increase muscle mass quite quickly. Just 2 months of strength-building can reverse two decades of a typical person's muscle loss and increase strength by 40%! ¹
High impact sports include tennis, volleyball, basketball, jumping rope, jumping jacks, etc. Proceed with caution though, as these, as well as some weight bearing aerobic activities, can be hard on your joints. If you know you have osteoporosis you might skip these until you increase your bone density.
Also, those with osteoporosis should avoid exercises that have you bend forward or backward.
Muscles and bones get stronger by doing weight bearing exercises. To determine which weight is right for you the weight should be heavy enough that you can only lift it 8 to 12 times before you need to rest. If the weight is so heavy that you can't do more than 5 or 6 repetitions you can injure your joints and other tissues that surround them.
Of course the ideal weight will change over time. As you increase strength you will be able to increase your weights. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends two to three sessions per week, leaving one day in between your sessions.
Your exercises for osteoporosis should entail short periods of exercises with heavier weights that produce more new bone, rather than long term exercises with lighter weights. ³ So make sure your weights are heavy enough.
Always start your strength training program with a qualified professional who designs a personal program for you.
Combine these osteoporosis exercises with your
osteoporosis diet and nutritional supplements to complete your natural osteoporosis treatment.
