💪 Strength & Conditioning
Baseball and softball players need explosive rotational power, arm strength, hip stability, and injury prevention — not bodybuilder muscle. Every exercise here is designed specifically for on-field performance.
⚠️ Age-appropriate training safety
Ages 5–10: bodyweight only — no external resistance. Focus on movement patterns.
Ages 11–13: light resistance bands and very light dumbbells (3–8 lbs). High reps, perfect form.
Ages 14+: progressive loading with bands, dumbbells, medicine balls, and bodyweight.
Never train through pain. Soreness is normal; sharp or joint pain = stop immediately.
Always warm up 5–10 minutes before any resistance training session.

The parent takeaway system
After every session, parents leave with 1–2 drills, a mental training concept, and a focus word for the week. No more than 15 minutes a day. Consistency beats intensity.
Weekly home practice rules
✓10–15 minutes max per day. Short focused sessions beat long unfocused ones. End on success.
✓Same drill, 5 days. Repeat the assigned drill all week before moving on.
✓Parent watches, doesn't coach. One coach per player. Notes to share at next session.
✓Keep it positive. Celebrate effort and attention to detail, not just results.
✓Review the mental concept. Talk through the focus word at dinner or in the car.

🎥 AI Mechanic Analyzer
Upload a short video clip of your player performing a specific skill. Claude AI will analyze the mechanics, score each component, and compare it side-by-side with a professional athlete.
Select Skill to Analyze
Player name (optional)
Upload video clip
How it works: Upload your video, then scrub to key moments (stance, load, contact, finish) and tap Capture Frame at each one. The AI analyzes the captured frames — not the full video — so pick moments that show the mechanics clearly. 2–4 frames gives the best analysis.
