Paul Haas is a professor of health and physical education at UWSP and has played for the Plover Pterodactyls. Paul has coached varsity-level teams and has great knowledge of the game of baseball and performance training. Paul will be working with hitters on their strength as well as their hitting mechanics.
This year's academies will incorporate: Rotator cuff strengthening, rotator cuff stretching, core strengthening, scapular stability, hip strength and injury prevention. Hitters will increase exit velocity, explosiveness, flexibility, bat speed, and ability to attack various pitch types and locations. Pitchers will increase accuracy, velocity, and recovering time. Throughout training, athletes will be routinely examined by John Jaeger, MPT for proper development, mechanics, and injury prevention.
Each academy is specifically designed to gradually ensure athletes are at peak performance by high school tryouts. Spring sessions will use live hitting and pitching and the HitTrax batting simulator will be used for both hitting sessions.
