Baseball is an explosive game with various components that require high levels of athleticism such as stealing bases, throwing fastballs, and hitting gap-to-gap with power.

These exercises add an element of strength conditioning to regular practices.

Coach Teeple gives a detailed look at how to use these exercises to maximize growth and minimize injury. All coaches strive for healthier, well-conditioned athletes. Kettle bells, which can be used on the field or in the gym, are a convenient way to achieve this goal. In this DVD, you will see:
