Great video! I’m a softball player and this has helped me so much.

[@thebionicman52]

Coach Dan this is a great video. You really need to get on Instagram. You would have a ton of followers. I follow a ton of softball folks however you are the only one really talking about strength training. I feel like softball players only play softball and don’t have time for strength training. I think if they found a happy medium they would be much better off. I was at a practice a few weeks ago and had my pitchers do some squats and half lunges with no weight and they looked at me like I had was from another planet. Get your message out there I feel it is super important. Great job and keep the videos coming.

[@SnapSoftball]

I absolutely hate instagram and won't be back. As creators, we only have so much time and I found long ago that instagram sucks the life out of me. I prefer making longer, better, meaningful content rather than trying to make a new shiny thing to look at every day there. Its not for me. Thanks for the comment and kind words, though.

Thanks!

What is an exercise that could be substituted for the Med Ball shotput with crow hop?

[@juiceman529]

Great video. I really appreciate the insight. How many days a week would you recommend following this workout for a 12 year old softball player?

[@SnapSoftball]

Two up to three.

[@UUGGOOLL]

Hi coach, I being following you for some time and you have a really good videos, thanks for sharing... I have a 10 year old daughter, she is being playing softball for a little bit more than 4 years now, I think she has potential and she really likes softball and it's committed to it, do you recommend to start with some of these strength exercises with her? And if so, how often will be right?... She weights 99 pounds and 4'9" of height, thank you in advance and greatings

[@SnapSoftball]

No - I'd recommend starting strength training at 12 years old IF she is mentally ready and excited at that point to begin. 10 is too young.

[@stevenlee2805]

I have 14 year old lefty pitcher, on the small and thin side, 93 lbs. what weight medicine ball to start for the shot put???

[@SnapSoftball]

4-6lbs

[@myliwhite8698]

Do you have any substitutes for the med ball thrust?

[@jasonmorales5876]

What about the sumo deadlift for glutes and hamstrings

[@SnapSoftball]

what about it

[@sarahnunez4598]

so ive been weight training for like 5 months now and i’ve had a workout split that includes: monday-legs, tuesday-push (chest and tris) and wednesday- pull (back and bi’s) thursday rest m then i’ll just repeat ñ is this fine ?

[@SnapSoftball]

Eh. That’s a bodybuilding split. Not a big fan.

[@markradich9903]

Great video!! How many days a week would you recommend? 3 days a week every other day ok?

[@SnapSoftball]

2-3 yes

[@kellyjeffrey8813]

Great stuff coach, I work with a u14 team. Many workout from home and don't have room for the med ball throw. Is there any substitutes that are good from home?

[@SnapSoftball]

band side chops or pallof press

[@kellyjeffrey8813]

@@SnapSoftball thanks!

[@addisonsnyder4689]

so with the push ups are girl push ups better to do or are the inclines better when you’re trying to work your way up to doing an actual push up?

[@SnapSoftball]

incline are way better.

[@pierosanchez2010]

Thanks for the video, if we do not have bands for lateral walks would doing them without bands be any good?

[@SnapSoftball]

not really. the bands are like $3 each

[@pierosanchez2010]

@@SnapSoftball thanks coach, if you could would you mind providing a link?

[@SnapSoftball]

sure - the link is in the description now.

[@reganwengert4899]

Dan, Do you believe in upping the weight each set? Or do you want the same weight each set? Do we need to get maxes too? Thanks

[@SnapSoftball]

Not every set no. Find the right weight for all sets, build up with a warm up or the first set. I don’t know what you mean by maxes.

[@jeffcolburn5406]

Do you have a facility where you work with athletes individually or in group setting?

[@SnapSoftball]

not anymore. I sold it in 2019.

[@boonch9103]

How many times a week should I do this?

[@SnapSoftball]

any workout won't yield results if done less than twice per week. 2-4 times is typical but you need to make the best choice for you and be conservative

[@boonch9103]

@@SnapSoftball thanks!

[@softballp3223]

If said atleast 3 but 4-6if you want faster and better results

[@jolynnhillard2181]

How do u get a 12 yr old pitcher to use her legs and not just her arms when throwing? I'm not sure she really understands how to go about or get her legs to work properly?

[@SnapSoftball]

I dont have any expertise with softball pitching mechanics.
