Are you limiting your power and hitting future with these mistakes?

 

    You work only on mechanics thinking bat speed will come as you get older?

    You take less than 100 quality swings at least 3 times a week?

    You take less than half of your swings at maximum effort?

    You think swinging hard will cause poor mechanics?

    You think practice is the same as training or conditioning is the same as training?

    You think weight lifting builds power?

Answering yes to  one or more of the above means you or the players you coach will probably never reach their maximum hitting potential.

 

My name is Paul Nyman. I am SETPRO's founder. Read this report and you will find out how you can maximize your power AND hitting capabilities.

 

You will find no so called “secrets”. No “magic” devices. Only the latest sports research and training tools. I put the latest  training information and tools together in a system called SMART POWER. This report explains how SMART POWER works and how players of all ages are  boosting their power, confidence and careers and having fun and at the same time

 

Here’s a sample of what players, coaches and parents tell us: ...ordered your REACTION POWER TRAINING system in July. My son Bill (12 years old) started training 30 minutes after receiving your package. Two weeks later at ALL STAR weekend (Little League) he went 14 for 16 with 4 home runs. One home run was over 300 feet. Afterwards, everyone said it was one of the hardest hit balls they ever saw. This year he is playing BABE RUTH. He already started training (NOVEMBER). His bat speed has increased 25 MPH since first starting your program. Thanks so much... W.Gibson, W. Springfield MA.

 

John Acosta, Caldwell, NJ (slow pitch softball) writes…two years ago in 120 games I hit 7 home runs and batted .375. Bought your system last April and started training 4 weeks before the start of my season. Trained 3 times a week. My workouts take about  45 minutes. Three weeks later we scrimmaged several teams. In a ball park where I never hit a home, I hit 4 bombs!! I ended the season hitting 53 home runs and batted .522 and invited to play on a touring team. Your system has exceeded my wildest dreams.......

 

Blake Blackwell, Sugarland, TX Personal Trainer writes.....I work with major, minor league and college players. Recieved your SPRT5A REACTION TRAINER and VIPER-RT VISION SYSTEM this December. I  was getting four major league players ready for spring training. At the beginning of training I measured their bat speeds. All four were around 90 to 95 MPH. We used your equipment with a SWING-AWAY. After 3 weeks of training bat speeds were up to 104-106 MPH. I couldn’t believe a major league player could add that much speed in such a short time. You are absolutely correct in the effect of feedback and mental training.......

 

POPULAR MECHANICS MAGAZINE and Ray Dimarini (guru of softball power)says the following about bat speed measurement:
“One of the best teaching aids available.... This machine gives the batter instant feedback as to how changes in the mechanics of the swing affect bat speed. In our tests, simple changes in mechanics... produced increases in bat speed from 76 to 89 MPH. An increase in bat speed of 10 MPH translates into 40 ft. of added distance for a properly hit softball ...also helps determine a hitters optimum bat weight.”

 

 

Why you may never reach your hitting potential

Your hidden power. 95% of all players are not reaching their full power capabilities. Your power is determined by mechanics (how you swing or throw) and muscle speed and strength. Very few coaches know how to train for power mechanics. Even worse, most teach the wrong things.

 

You cannot seperate mechanics and bat speed.“I’m working on mechanics, bat speed will come”. I hear this from parents and coaches all the time.  When Jeff Bagwell was asked how he went from a minor league hitter whose best power year was 4 home runs to a Major Leager hitting 40 home runs, Jeff said: “You have to think power to have power. You have to train for power to have power. You practice power to have power.  I built my body up but I also had to build my mind up. I had to re-learn how to swing with maximum effort. I just wish I had learned this sooner”

 

When you first learn to hit, making contact is stressed as your only goal. Swinging for maximum bat speed (power) is usually discouraged. If you follow this advice you are condemned to never reach their full hitting potential. What does Mark McGuire do in batting practice before every game? Swing for the fences!!! He practices hitting home runs to hit home runs.

 

To develop a players maximum capability, you must make contact AND have bat speed. To reach your full power potential you must re-train your muscle memory system. Every wrong swing you take requires at least TWO right swings to correct.The SMART POWER TRAINING SYSTEM will show you how to maximize mechanics and muscle power to reach your full capabilities.

 

Do you train to hit a baseball or softball? Think carefully about your answer. Practice is not training. Do you go to baseball training or practice? Practice is used to improve your skills (timing). Training is improves your speed and strength. To get the most out of practice, you need to train FOR practice. With the proper training program players make 2, 3 even 4 times the progress compared to players who only practice.

 

SMART POWER TRAINING shows you how to train for practice.

 

How many quality swings do you take each day, week or year.? The average major league player takes 1000 quality swings each week. Quality means maximum mental and physical efforts. Do you have a swing training  plan? Do you have a way to measure the results of your swings? Most swings you take are of questionable or no value. Or worse yet, are actually training you to never reach your maximum capabilities. If you don’t have a plan you can take 300 swings a day and go backwards. If you do have a plan and can measure results, you can take 100 swings and make major progress forwards. It’s not the quantity of your swings, it’s the quality.

 

 

 

Do you know how to train for power? Do you think weight lifting develops power? Weight lifting develops strength. Strength is not power. Strength and speed TOGETHER is power. The wrong weight lifting may actually decrease your power. Weight lifting is important to build the FOUNDATION for power. But if you need to do the right type of lifting. And then you need to combine this new strength speed training (called BALLISTIC TRAINING).

 

SMART POWER shows you that POWER is Strength and Speed.

 

Do you know the difference between conditioning and training?  Conditioning is not training. Conditioning prepares what you already have. Training adds NEW abilities.

 

SMART POWER is a training system.

 

Bat speed tells all. It is the single most important measure of your how well you swing the bat. Bat speed is power. The faster your bat speed, the  further you hit the ball. Bat speed is mechanics. The faster your bat speed the better your mechanics. Bat speed is quickness. The better your bat speed, the quicker your bat. Bat speed is training. The better your training, the faster your bat speed.

 

SMART POWER is based on following training science principles:

 

1. FEEDBACK Seeing your results of each swing is called FEEDBACK. You need feedback for GOAL SETTING (making each swing faster than the previous swing). With feedback you make the fastest and largest possible training improvements.

 

2. SPORT SPECIFIC OVERLOAD AND OVERSPEED TRAINING. Olympic sports scientists discovered the fastest way to maximum power gains are exercises having the same motion and speed as the sport you want to improve. This is called SPECIFICITY OF TRAINING. For hitters this means a swinging exercises. They also found greatly increased power when SPECIFICITY is combined with OVER LOAD and OVER SPEED training. Exercises are performed using baseball specific training equipment to make the muscles stronger (OVER LOAD) and faster (OVER SPEED). The combination of strength AND speed is POWER. This is called BALLISTIC TRAINING. No matter what level, from Little League to Majors, specificity of training gives the greatest improvement in the shortest time.

 

3.REACTION-VISION-STRESS TRAINING Training under game conditions (we call it stress), leads to the greatest improvement in game performance. SETPRO’s VISION-REACTION TRAINING SYSTEM simulates the entire windup and delivery of a pitched baseball and measures you bat speed, power and timing to 1/1000th of a second.

 

NO OTHER SYSTEM OR DEVICE WILL DO MORE FOR YOUR POWER IN 30 DAYS THAN THE SMART POWER TRAINING SYSTEM!  ALL PRODUCTS ARE BACKED BY A 90 DAY NO QUESTIONS ASKED GUARANTEE.

 

You will make an immediate improvement in your power the first day.

 

    ADD 20 MPH TO YOUR BAT SPEED

    ADD 50-100 FEET TO YOUR LONG BALL

    DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE YOUR REACTION TIME

    ALL OF THIS, 30 MINUTES A DAY FOR 14 DAYS

 

How does the SMART POWER TRAINING SYSTEM work? The complete SMART POWER SYSTEM combines FEEDBACK (measuring your bat speed, power ), SPORT SPECIFIC TRAINING (doing swing exercises 2-6 times a week with special over-under loads) and REACTION-VISION TRAINING (training using simulated wind up and pitch). There are several SMART POWER systems. They differ in the type and extent of training (how serious you are about improving). All of our products work TOGETHER as part of a complete training system. The goal of this report is to help you understand how the body responds to training and how you can develop your own personal SMART POWER TRAINING SYSTEM.

 

WHY DO YOU CALL IT SMART POWER? SMART POWER is gaining the greatest increase in power with the least amount of wasted time and effort. You learn how to maximize every swing. STRENGTH, SPEED, FEEDBACK and REACTION training give you the most advanced training system available. All of SETPRO's training methods are proven and supported by independent UNIVERSITY studies. We don't pretend to have any super secret discoveries. SMART POWER uses no gimmicks or tricks. It’s all based on the latest sports research and training equipment.

 

You will make improvements every day, every week. Its not complicated. You will be training within 30 minutes after receiving the SMART POWER TRAINING SYSTEM.

 

Start early for success....Recent research findings support the absolute necessity of starting training very early in life. The findings support the concept of a window of opportunity....one that if disregarded will limit the achievement level of the developing child. The window of maximum learning applies to all educational disciplines, whether they be mental or physical, developed in the classroom or on the playing field. There is good reason to support the idea that a skill has to be learned early or its quality will be substantially reduced or lost completely. Each of us has been given a wonderful instrument: the human body. The quality and quantity of skills your body performs depends on the quality and quantity of your training programs. You benefit most when you begin training early in life and progressively master gross motor patterns, then fine motor patterns , followed by specific skills for your sport. The key to effective early training in sports is to find the proper balance between training and fun.... Researchers have taken a new look at some long-held beliefs about accelerated learning; their findings provide athletes with a much more objective basis for making training decisions..... Findings suggest that there are more and larger complex neuron circuits in the brain circuitry of those who started training between the ages of 3 and 12 than those who began after the age of 13. According to Taub, these differences are quite dramatic. The more complex the activity, the greater the number of neural pathways in the brain and neuromuscular system. For older athletes, intense, sport specific training is required to program existing but unused pathways. Just as adding more traffic lanes to a freeway makes traffic flow more smoothly, increasing the number of neural pathways makes the brain work more efficiently....”SPORTS SPEED”, by Dintiman, Ward, Tellez, publisher “Human Kinetics”.
