Six Pack Abs

Six Pack Abs - strong abdominal muscles are very important in baseball. It is also a common goal in the fitness industry.

If you are a pitcher, having strong ab muscles can add 7-10 mph onto your fast ball.

And when you are at the plate, having strong core muscles can add power to your swing.

One of the keys to Ozzie Smith's success was his strong ab muscles.

Strong ab muscles will allow you have a much quicker torso, which will make you run faster and be more explosive.

I have develop a great ab workout routine called The MVP Abs From Hell. This workout will make your abs burn and will increase your quickness and speed on the playing field.

Rest Is a Key To Success

Resting and Re-energizing your body is key to your baseball success.

Not enough sleep can dramatically affect your physical play on the field and your alertness in the classroom and on the diamond.

While you sleep, your body is recovering and resting from all the things you have done during your day. Your neurotransmitter is brought back in line, your muscles relax, and your mind is allowed to clear itself in preparation for school and your next game or doubleheader.

If you are not getting enough rest, you will begin to notice it in a your play. While there is no perfect number in terms of hours of sleep, 8 hours should be your target each and every night.

Mental Toughness

Ozzie Smith always played baseball with a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)!

How is your PMA?

Here are 4 tips to improve your mental toughness.

1) Always Believe in Yourself. If you think you can`t do it, you are right! . When you are at the plate, concentrate on hitting the ball hard and believe that you will get the job done.

2) Have Confidence. The main reason that players don´t play well in games is nervousness, and the main cause of nervousness is lack of self confidence. You have to believe that you can hit any pitch that the pitcher throws and not get intimidated. You must believe that no one on the mound is better than you. Have a good attitude. Believe in your skills and talents.

3) Strive to Improve Everyday. Both physically and mentally. Work on your skills, hitting to opposite field, pulling the ball and bunting. Learn from watching games and highlights on TV and watch instructional videos to learn even more. Never stop learning!

4) Always Play at Your Best. - Even when playing against teams or players who are not quite as talented, it is important to play at top level. Do not drop your level of play simply to take it easy on the opponent. Compete against your own personal best every time out, and try to achieve that.

You must posses a Positive Mental Attitude not only on the field, but off the field as well.

Remember, mental toughness is what separates a great player from an average player. In a tough, clutch situation, the player with "nerves of steel" is the MVP.

Practice Core Strength Conditioning

Welcome to MVP Baseball Tips Featuring Ozzie Smith

During Ozzie Smith's playing career he knew that core strength training was vital to his success in baseball.

A-Rod and Ichiro are not excellent hitters because they are weak. They hit ropes because they have developed high levels of core strength relative to their swing. Core strength development assists in your balance ability, decreases the possibility of injury and is the first element that powers your swing.

The majority of your bat speed comes from your midsection.

Strengthening your core is also important in throwing the baseball; according to John Boyle “the average pitcher can add 7-10 mph on their fastball in only 60 days utilizing baseball-specific core training”

“Your midsection, or core, strength can determine how well - or bad - you perform on the field, adds Boyle. “Every single movement and skill in the game of baseball starts with the muscles of your midsection. If your strength, flexibility and endurance are not where it should be then you can forget about regular playing time, let alone becoming a star.”

The bottom line is if you desire to improve your swing and drive the ball into the gap for extra bases, working your abs is must in your training.

I have developed a four minute ab routine called the “Abs from Hell.”

This circuit is guaranteed to make your abs burn and increase your power at the plate and add more speed on your fastball on the mound.
