Softball Training
October 24, 2011 | 
Author I’m going to give a shout out to Annie Heineman, my first D-I signee. She has committed to play outfield at Illinois State University, though only a junior still in high school. If you don’t know about Annie, she is one of the strongest pound-for-pound athletes I train, male or female. At 114 pounds, her level of strength is pretty scary.
I’d say good luck to her but she’ll be hanging around for two more sass-filled years, so I’ll save it.
Here’s the little angel pinch-gripping a 25lb plate by the hub, and a 100-lb York plate by the rounded lip. Not easy stuff.
Good luck pitching to her…
I give a lot of press to baseball performance, but softball is an oft-overlooked sport in the training realm. I have a great group of softball players who work just as hard as the boys do, and the results speak for themselves. Here is a clip of Anna Caldwell making short work of some diamond push ups, which are tough; the vast majority of girls don’t have the triceps strength to get them done.
