When it comes to injuries, we think it is out of our control as coaches to prevent them and to an extent, that is true. However, there is much that can be done to help prevent them. One of the biggest culprits for injuries in baseball is bad habits at the youth level. There are a lot of factors that go into this but keeping our youth healthy is critical to their futures and the future of the game.

During this course by Coach Aragoncillo, you'll get access to his talk from the 2020 Virtual Baseball Coaches Summit where he does a deep dive into this topic. You will learn things like:

  • Stress Load & Management
  • Factors Causing Injuries
  • Year Round Baseball Problems
  • and much more

We all need to do our part to keep our youth on the field, playing and healthy. The more you know about the issues that commonly cause injuries, the better prepared you are as a coach. Miguel has worked with baseball players of all ages, from Major Leaguers to Little Leaguers.
