thanks, and an update

Hi L

IE: RUNNING: fOR BASEBALL, I HAD A FOOTBALL BACKFIELD COACH WHO, WHEN HE COULD NOT FIGURE OUT ANY BASEBALL DRILLS,,,DUH,,,HAD US RUN A LOT TO KEEP US BUSY!!!

(The reality is...running bleachers, or stairs, two steps at a time...to get the knees high...is the best conditioning I ever found.) Not only that, you can get it done in about ten minutes.

Run up...walk down!

A few squat thrusts are always good, as is squatting down and leaping as high as humanly possible...about and no more than ten times.

Running all over creation is NOT THE ANSWER FOR PITCHERS!!!! It is an answer for wide receivers...

Its sorta' like Babe Ruth said when he was asked how it felt to be one of the greatest athletes in the earth..."I'm not an athlete. I'm a ball player!"

A pitcher should have total confidence in his lower body...but only for a hundred and fifty repititions on the mound.

It is sorta' like batting practice. I genuinely believe fifty strokes, broken up in five groups of ten....is plenty on a given day! If half of those are on wiffle balls and soft toss...that's OK!

Best regards
