Review: I have had the opportunity to work with Gene Coleman and observe his work with the Houston Astros for the past 10 years. His book is a must reading for all baseball players. He thoroughly explains what physical attributes are required to play the game and then gives step-by-step drills, procedures, workouts, sets and reps to achieve each of these attributes.

Summary: Based on science, not theory
Review: I use this book often as a reference for a sports performance newsletter I write. I know it's safe as a source because Dr. Coleman bases his training suggestions on a strong academic and science background combined with experience working at the highest levels of the game. There are very few sports training books out there that have that sort of foundation. The information can be used by players at any level.

Now, for the first time, a 52 week plan to develop these athletic skills has been mapped out by one of the world's leading expert on baseball conditioning, Gene Coleman of the Houston Astos. This book takes you step-by-step and shows you how to do it. It an invaluable tool and offers great insight into the planning process for optimal conditioning for baseball.
