I just wanted to say I really enjoy all your training info for softball, and I want to know your thoughts on fast twich fiber training. I am a 42 yearold ex-personal trainer with a pretty deep background in the training industry, especially that of the 80's and 90's. I have a daughter who just turned 11, and I have really increased her resistance training and core training over the last couple of months with great strength gain results. I am a follower of Dr Michael Colgan and his training systems (also a Canadian), and would like to know your thoughts on training for fast twitch muscle fibers or if it is even an option for girls, especially girls my daughters age. The general way for training fast twitch has been low rep, heavy weight, max effort, but it seems a bit much to expect out of an 11 year old. What do you think?
By the way, my daughter loves the increase in strength she has gained from her training. It has increased her confidence a great deal, and being a pitcher, that is tremendously beneficial.
If anyone else has any thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated.
