Player of the Week

Ryder (AB )

Week of May 31, 2010:

This is Ryder's second year in outdoor baseball with the Sherwood Park Minor Baseball Association. Last week he caught a ball at short stop and was able to get a kid out at second base. He understands the rules of the game and all the positions. He is a team player and starts many chants on the sidelines to encourage his fellow teammates play.

Ryder en est à sa deuxième année au sein de l’Association de baseball mineur de Sherwood Park. La semaine dernière, il a capté une balle à sa position de joueur d’arrêt-court et il a retiré le coureur adverse qui arrivait au deuxième but. C’est un joueur qui comprend déjà bien le jeu à plusieurs positions. C’est un joueur d’équipe. D’ailleurs, lorsqu’il est dans l’abri des joueurs, il est très actif pour entonner des chants pour encourager ses coéquipiers.

Periodization Training for Sports-2nd Edition
Sports conditioning has advanced tremendously since the era when a “no pain, no gain” philosophy guided the training regimens of athletes. Dr. Tudor Bompa pioneered most of these breakthroughs, proving long ago that it’s not only how much and how hard an athlete works but also when and what work is done that determines the athlete’s conditioning level.
