About the Video
Jimmy Rollins opens up to STACK about how important it is for athletes to stay in shape.
From a young age, Rollins' father motivated him to stay in shape with two important rules helpful to any athlete: focus on good technique in the weight room and < a href="http://www.stack.com/get-faster">get faster with endurance exercises.
Getting faster and stronger will always benefit any
baseball player; therefore, to improve your maximum athletic performance, it is critical to improve your overall stamina during workouts.
In this video, Rollins discusses his current training regimen which focuses on
core stability, body control and body awareness. Additionally, muscle memory and repetitive motion without resistance will allow the body to perform the same action with greater ease once resistance is added.
